Eight of Swords

Major Arcana 8

Upright

"Feeling trapped, mental prison, self-imposed limitation, victimization."

In Love

Feeling paralyzed in a relationship. A sense that you have no choice, which is often an illusion. You have the power to leave if you open your eyes.

Career and Money

Feeling stuck in a dead-end job or restricted by rules. Look for the exit that is right in front of you. Your fear of failure is the real trap.

Reversed

"Release, perspective, breaking free from self-doubt, empowerment."

Love Challenges

Shadow Work

"How am I benefiting from playing the victim? What truth would I have to face if I admitted I am actually free?"

I open my eyes and realize that I have always been free to walk away.
