Eight of Swords

Reverse:
Trapped, Victim, Paralyzed, Powerless
Upright:
Freedom, Escape, Surrender, Empowered
The eight of swords shows us a pixie tied up and surrounded by swords. It is trapped and cannot move... You may be feeling stuck right now, perhaps even trapped with no way out. You may feel like you have no control over anything that happens to you right now. Things just keep on happening and you have no other option aside from just letting it happen. Know that you are the only one in control of you, you can control what you say, how you react, and what you do with what you have available to you.
Card in Reverse:
You are coming out of feeling stuck! You were able to push through your jail of swords and take control. Making decisions feels clearer to you now. Your sense of agency is returning and you're feeling ready to take on new things.
