The Rider-Waite-Smith- Eight of Swords and The Fairy-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 and the person trapped on an ice flow reluctant to step off.

The RWS Tarot character is in a prison of Swords which represent 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.

The Fairy Tarot- 8 of Winter shows a young fairy frowning and believing she is trapped in a situation. This is a false assumption for she can easily step off the ice flow on to a pathway of ice. Here the Ego has convinced her that she is the ego when the ego is just a product, we build out of a child's survival thinking. We are the Creators of our motion (emotions) and not created by them. Here benevolent Jupiter is trying to get the Gemini twins to stop arguing and get on with the impeccability that only cooperation can supply.
