What does Eight of Swords mean upright?
Feeling trapped, restricted and out of options. The limitation is real in your experience and largely constructed in fact — the bindings are loose and the swords leave a path. Question the belief that you cannot move. The Eight of Swords is a prison with an open side.
What does Eight of Swords mean reversed?
Freeing yourself, seeing the way out, or a restriction lifting. What held you was more mental than material, and you are beginning to know it. Take the first step even if it is small. Every step from here widens the opening.
