Eight of Swords
The Fool journeys to the Eight of Swords and feels trapped and powerless to make changes. He feels like a victim, which disempowers him even more. His swords are all about him, imprisoning him as he listens to his fears. Disabled by his anxieties, he does nothing and becomes stagnant and static. All he needs is someone to come and help him, and he can be free from what is binding up his mind.
Here, we can be left feeling confined and powerless. Success is there, but we feel disconnected from it as our minds become our own worst enemy. Often, where we are and why we feel as we do are issues of our own making.
Decisions are feared, and personal problems are exaggerated in the mind, turning thoughts into monsters and leaving us helpless to make any changes. We feel inadequate and lacking.
So, you’re stuck! Set in place, stuck in a rut, unable to leave your thoughts and fears, which become your jailors. You dearly wish for change, but it just will not come into sight, as you have a fear of change at the heart of your issues.
Are you blaming others, a situation, or a "thing" for why you’re caught up in a trap. Negative thoughts undermine your optimism and leave you feeling trapped as you tie your own mind in knots.
Reach out to another, as while you may not see a pathway, another will.

Pam read my spread a while back and although the spread and the reading was not good news, it was accurate and on point regarding the situation and helped me move on from it. Thank you
Kay
Thank you so much for the reading Pam it was like you knew me and my situation. There was a lot of information to absorb and the more I read through it the more I took away from it. I am very grateful for your kindness and the very thorough reading which was absolute value for money. Thank you again x

I appreciate your gift. I have the gift as well not as developed and I can’t see beyond my own feelings so quite difficult to read myself. You are 95% very accurate and I am very impressed. Should I get a future love reading from you?

I bought this on Kindle ( love the instant availablity) and love using it! I find all the in-depth explanations of the symbolism on each card has been so helpful to me! Yesterday- I look at my daily card (huh here's a guy in a chariot with 2 sphinxes), then read your Chariot discussion-- WOW I was stunned at how much was on the card ! Thank you for making this all available for us.
