Eight of Swords.
Art by Jen Phippen, from the Tarot of Transcendence.
The Eight of Swords represents a feeling of being a victim. This feeling of helplessness has only made the current situation worse. The good news is that because this trap was self made, you have the power to change the narrative and take the blindfold off. You are not trapped and you are encouraged to let go of the metaphorical blindfold to honor your power and let go of a story that doesn’t serve you. Once you do so, you will find your own strength and the possibilities available to you on your path ahead.
Key Ideas: Helplessness, restriction, victim, powerless, imprisonment
Reversed: Freedom, release, empowered
Affirmation: “I am an empowered being.”
