Eight of Swords: Tarot Card Meaning and Description

Reversed position

There is a saying: “A fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey.” So the inverted card of the Eight of Swords is a spoonful of honey in a large barrel of tar. It turns out that a person sees a little positive in a huge mass of negativity. This may be due to past betrayal, difficulties, hard work, depression, and unforeseen situations. But there are, of course, bright sides that give a person hope.

In a period of complete helplessness and hopelessness, he can count on the completion of such restrictions. And even though positive changes will not solve all the problems, you can at least count on the fact that some of them are already in the past. And thanks to this, a person begins to believe in himself, his success.

Problems that seemed so global are actually not so terrible. At the same time, freedom of action appears, fear is no more, and all restrictions are nearing completion.

Eight of Swords: Meaning in love and relationships

Direct position

There is a problem in the relationship between two people. Here, the destructive influence on the feelings of a person and the obvious inconsistency of characters also matter. Moreover, in a relationship, both partners do not want to give in to each other. Marriage can end badly, as the relationship has already become obsolete.

Perhaps a person voluntarily moves away from his partner when he is simply unable to maintain a relationship, and behaves infantile. In other words, there is a crisis in the relationship. They literally hang by a thread. And this situation cannot be resolved, since one of the partners does not want to save the union.

Is it possible to keep two people together if they do not experience sincere feelings for each other, joy and love. In such a family, quarrels, misunderstandings, and mutual attacks are increasingly occurring.

Reversed position

The lasso testifies to reconciliation when a person strives for this and tries to find a common language with a loved one. And, indeed, the situation cannot be called a dead end, everything can be resolved if you want it.

Also, the card can describe the fact that one of the partners is clearly pulling the blanket over himself, and is ready to make a decision for both. There is negativity in relationships, as depression, unnecessary emotions, and anxiety are manifested.

A person with an inverted eight of swords can behave differently: he is biased towards a loved one, he is too honest with himself, and this prevents him from building relationships with a partner (after all, you want not only to love yourself, but to be loved too).

Eight of Swords: Meaning in Situation and Question

Direct position

A person has certain life difficulties, duties have not yet been clearly defined. It will not be easy for him to be given official duties, experience and competence will not be enough. Perhaps he himself will be very critical of himself due to inexperience, and thereby further aggravate the problem.

A situation with litigation, financial losses, bad news related to the money issue is possible. The situation will be a dead end, as if their hands were tied, and nothing more can be done.

Reversed position

The card speaks of the troubles that have taken place. This may be related to professional activities, and to other situations too.

These problems greatly spoil the overall picture of a person, but are not fatal. A person has begun a boring period in life, which is distinguished by its monotony. But this is just the same very difficult period. Of course, he will get out of this story, but it will happen very slowly - step by step.

If you wisely dispose of material resources, connect your foresight and foresight, then success will surely come.
