Eight of Swords

Lotus Circle 8 of Swords

A woman peers out of an upstairs window. The windows on the lower floor are barred by eight swords.

The Tarot of the Lotus Circle gives the following keywords for this card: Self-Imprisonment, Restriction, Crippling Fear, Denial, Imagined Helplessness, Victimization.

Traditionally, this is the “Damsel in Distress” card though not necessarily physical danger. Swords correspond to the element of Air, meaning intellectual matters. Historically, this card was interpreted as meaning a victim scandal, spread by lies and rumors.

If this card appears in answer to a yes or no question, the answer is No.

Ask yourself: What are you doing to keep yourself immobilized?
