Eight of Swords

Upright

The upright Eight of Swords depicts a scene of entrapment—like the Bichon stuck inside a tall suitcase. This card suggests a feeling of being trapped, possibly due to external circumstances or internal fears and anxiety. Often, the sense of limitation comes more from our own thoughts and beliefs than from actual external restrictions. The card encourages you to confront inner fear and uncertainty, recognize your own strength, and find a way to free yourself from constraints.
