so you like being in a self imposed prison and being trapped by circumstances? you like making excuses for yourself perhaps? or maybe it's a fear of the unknown that's keeping you from breaking free from those chains..8 of swords is card of restriction but it's usually a restriction that you bring on yourself..why would you want to do that? just curious..
What I get from the card is first, my element, which is air, or swords, and eight, which is my number. The tradition I subscribe to has it down with the frustration, the need for patience thing, and not being able to see the way out of a problem.
I do need patience in great quantity, but I like the idea that with the use of all my good qualities, I can successfully overcome these sorts of problems. I can deal with frustration, I am gaining patience, and I'm learning very quickly how to look my way around problems rather than through them.
It's a reminder to me: See, here are the things you need to work on. I need that reminder.
