Eight of Swords Tarot Card DESCRIPTION: illustration, colors, and symbolism

• Eight of Swords Tarot Card shows a woman bound and blindfolded. She is surrounded by eight swords, seemingly trapping her in place. Her arms are tied behind her and bound to her body with the same bandage she is blinded with. The swords around her seem to serve as a prison. But there is enough space in front of her to escape. It seems as if she is too focused on the painful past, leaving her unable to see a way out. The swords are a symbol of the limiting thoughts and mindset that prevent her from moving forward in her life. If she removes her blindfold, she will realize that she can escape. The water pool at her feet suggests that her intuition might see what her eyes cannot. So, refusing to take a step forward will only lead to more of what you are already facing.
