Card for today, 5th February 2022

VIII of Swords

 The Gilded Tarot
Using Rider Waite's Keywords 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.
