Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith, Eight of Swords
The Rider-Waite-Smith- Eight of Swords implies a certain amount of fear of change, of moving out of a binding or restricting situation. This is emphasized by the bound person on the Rider-Waite-Smith card. The personage is in a prison of Swords which represents thoughts causing a narrowness and/or restriction of mind along with shortened will power. Many of us know this as being narrow minded or short sighted.
The positive side of this is that change, no matter how resisted, will soon come. The Good Fortune of Jupiter, will show up. What is again implied, is stop wasting time and proceed with change, your scattered efforts will not stop it, only interfere with your wholesome transition.
B.O.T.A. Tarot- 8 of Swords
The B.O.T.A.- 8 of Swords, represents thoughts as a multidirectional radiation of 8 swords all pointing outward. This implies that one is bombarded by so many associated thoughts, that there is no clarity in action provided. Here is the minimalistic image of indecision, a waster of energy in details and a mental/emotional crisis. As the old axiom goes, "One cannot see the forest through the trees". Just like rings in water, interrupting each other, so are one's thoughts interrupting any further action.
When the Eight/ 8 of Swords is thrown during a reading, the querent is experiencing:
- Confusion, and a feeling of being trapped, isolated by oppressive ideas.
- Feeling trapped or ashamed, which are the beginnings of recognizing the need for change, and moving on ward with your life.
- The mental dissolution or loss of faith in situations or ideas, is a sure sign of progress beyond the old.
- The mind is saying," your perspectives no longer serve your life motion, so new ideas will soon be presented."
If reversed, it implies:
- Confusion.
- Mental blocks.
