Eight of Swords

There’s not always a clear choice in life. Sometimes, I think there are too many choices, and instead of moving forward, we are paralyzed by the possibilities. And so we come to the Eight of Swords. To see this card in a reading suggests that you are stuck in a rut. Instead of using your powerful swords for advancement, you feel self-imprisoned by them. Seeing this card in a reading suggests that you feel restricted and confused. While you may have been through some challenges, seeing this card indicates that you are perpetuating a sense of entitled victimhood. Instead of taking the reigns and committing to action, you are waiting for someone or something to come along and change the situation. This card suggests that you have more power than you realize. Also, you may not know the “right” choice and may not get everything you want, but that doesn’t matter. Any movement forward at this juncture is essential. You will also find greater freedom and more possibilities coming your way if you change your perspective. Like attracts like. To see this card reversed in a reading suggests that you are overcoming a period of restriction and confusion. It can also indicate that you are not open to confronting feelings of powerlessness.
