Eight of Swords

If you wish—do not be afraid. Open your heart…Helpless solitude evokes despair, like the woman in this image—bound by swords, blindfolded, trapped, yet unable to break free. It reflects feelings of isolation, misunderstanding, or standing on the world’s edge. And yet, even in her most confined moment, her red dress and scattered red petals symbolize a deep yearning for freedom and a fervent love for life.
