Stop creating your own limitations. When the 8 of Swords Reversed appears in your reading, it is a sign that you might be making your situation more difficult than it needs to be, or that you are willfully blinding yourself to the truth of your situation. However, as complicated as things might appear, it is very likely that the truth is not nearly so bad as you might assume, and that your circumstances are actually much better than you realize. When the 8 of Swords is right side up, you do not have any easy options or clear paths forward, but now that this card is reversed, you can start to see your situation with greater clarity, and realize what options are indeed available to you.

This is your moment to take control and to assert yourself, and if that feels like a daunting task, then take heart because this card is telling you to face your fears. You may have not felt very empowered as of late, but that energy is changing for the better, and soon you will see just how many different avenues are open to you. Still, you cannot wait for someone else to choose which road you will pursue. It is up to you to take the first step forward, so go ahead and start making moves.
