What does the Eight of Swords mean?

The Eight of Swords is about feeling trapped when, in truth, most of the trap is in your head.

UPRIGHT
  • Restriction: You feel stuck, like every direction is blocked.
  • Limiting beliefs: Your own fears hold you tighter than the situation does.
  • Helplessness: You are waiting for rescue when you could simply walk.
REVERSED
  • Freedom: You are realising the door was never locked.
  • New perspective: Options you could not see before are appearing.
  • Release: The fear that froze you is losing its grip.
