8 of Swords
This card shows disorientation. You don't know who you are or what you want—you feel like an outsider in a community. It is too easy to listen to others, and you don't know what to do unless someone tells you to.
The environment (8) pushes you to grasp and think clearly (the elements of the suite = air), but you are not in touch with yourself, so you do not know what you want.
You feel left out. You cannot participate in anything social or planned. You have problems with friends or family. You are an outsider, sad and alone, lost with yourself.
You feel left out. You cannot participate in anything social or planned. You have problems with friends or family. You are an outsider, sad and alone, lost with yourself.
You are dodging worries. You have promised to do something, but you are disappointed. You avoid all responsibility, feeling relief.
Love
There is nothing to build on but lust for power insecurity. You cannot show your feelings for fear of being left behind or insufficient. You're hard to reach, elusive, swinging in the mood. Manic-depressive quickly creates a lousy conscience and gets stuck in fear of being abandoned or not being seen. You avoid a relationship; the limitations are too significant for love to be enough to defeat them. You are limited, doubting, have low self-esteem, demand attention but have difficulty sharing a companionship, insecure and elusive.
Past
You have encountered obstacles, been stuck, and had difficulty finding your role. You have had a challenging period with much resistance in your planning and relationships.
Present
You are limited, worried, pessimistic, insecure, evasive, cowardly, procrastinate, and not daring to try. You encounter obstacles in your activities.
Future
You can meet resistance and incomprehension of your actions. You are facing obstacles, limitations, and hitting the wall. It's hard to feel freedom.
