Eight of Swords

The Eight of Swords tells you that you feel as if you've lost your sense of power and control.

Upright position meaning

The Eight of Swords pulled upright indicates you feel as if you've lost your sense of power and control in your own life. You may have willingly given it up, or you may have had it taken from you. Either way, you're regretting that this happened, as you're feeling trapped in your current circumstances. However, you can make a change. You can remove the cloth covering your eyes and see things as they truly are to get your power back.

Reversed position meaning

The Eight of Swords pulled reversed means you've gained a sense of maturity, power, responsibility, and self-acceptance. You've finally realized the power you have over your own life and are happy to take that power and run with it. Your confidence is back after a lengthy period of self-doubt and you're ready to make decisions that affect your life - hopefully in a positive way! You know who you are!

Advice meaning

The Eight of Swords is asking you to see yourself and your circumstances as they truly are, as this will help you feel a sense of confidence.
