VIII of Swords

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: restrictions, entrapment.

Description: The Eight of Swords indicates a type of bondage. This bondage is likely to be verbal in nature as the person in question is not able to say what is on his or her mind. There seems to be a sense of entrapment where the person is not able to move because of prevailing circumstances that are the result of decisions made in the past. A run of bad luck, and so, much patient effort is needed to get out of this difficult situation. Help is available if you can forget pride and ask for it. Restrictions will gradually fade.

Upright Associations: Restricted action, indecision, temporary weakness. Jealousy of colleagues. Fear, self-restriction, being bound to expectations, isolation, inhibition. Playing the martyr.

Reversed Associations: Difficulties, an accident, an unexpected event, feelings of frustration, restrictions being lifted, moving on. Release, quarrels finding your voice.

XII The Hanged Man

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: stop, retreat, reflect (change point of view), observe, meditate

Description: The Hanged Man is an unsettling, mysterious card, because it symbolises the reversal of our life situations, all contradictions we face in ourselves and in life in general, paradox in action. Although the Hanged Man seems restricted and helpless, he looks calm and relaxed. 

In this position the card represents the rational mind being turned off, acceptance of a new situation, a unique point of view, reflection and serenity. Deeply thoughtful he seems to have reached a higher consciousness. By letting go and giving up, as painful as it may be, this symbolism suggests that we can overcome restrictions, find what we have been looking for, and ultimately become free, self-determined beings.

Upright Associations: Adaptability to change, reversal, transformation, pausing to reflect. Rebirth, readjustment, suspension. Sacrificing one thing to obtain another. Stepping back to leap.

In a negative setting the symbolism suggests manipulation, passivity, useless sacrifice, and apathy.

Reversed Associations: Crime and punishment, pain, selfishness, the sacrifice of success, surrender. A great contentment in life. Materialism, need for approval.
