Reversed, it shows you starting to free yourself and reclaim your power. You can see options you couldn't see before. Now is the time to take that first step out.
In love
Feeling trapped in a relationship or in your own fears; you have more options than you think.
Work and money
A sense of being stuck; take a look at your limiting beliefs.
Advice
The cage is weaker than you think: take a step.
Symbolism
A blindfolded woman with her body bound is surrounded by eight swords planted in the ground. But the bindings are loose and there's room to walk out: the prison is mostly in the mind. The castle in the background shows that safety is within reach.
Yes or no?
No. In a yes or no reading, Eight of Swords leans towards no. Reversed it can soften: less a flat no than a “not yet” or “not like this”. Yes or no tarot
