Finance, Money Matters Or Debt:

The reversed Eight tells you that unexpected things may occur with your finances – this is an important time to make sure that you have some form of a financial ‘safety net.’ At the same time these unexpected things can be related to financial increase that you weren’t expecting. However, this is not a time when you are likely to be lucky with gambling.

A day which is ruled by the Lord of Interference is bound to present some difficulties. However, as with all Tarot cards, the 8 of Swords carries with it the means of dealing with any obstacles or problems which appear. The first thing to recognise is that anybody’s life has the occasional bump – we would never get anywhere if it did not. Bumps can be caused by all kinds of different things – people, our own attitudes, astrological influences…the possibilities for interference are boundless. Make sure you’re not going around in circles attempting to make a decision through a sense of duty or guilt. That often causes problems when this card is around.

Finally keep your eyes open for anyone else who may be deliberately stepping in your path. Often when somebody interferes, merely recognising what they are doing robs their actions of any power over us. However – whatever the source of the problem is, the message of the 8 of Swords is clear. Don’t rush to fight with things that are not currently going your way – you’ll almost certainly fail. Go and find something else to do instead. There will be a better time to deal with the things that are in your way today. Don’t waste your energy hacking away at something that may be better cleared up tomorrow. Don’t frustrate yourself by banging on a door that just will not open. Rely on the idea that things will ease off, and that you will deal with them better for not having wasted hours on them today! In readings, the Eight of Swords is often a sign that you are heading toward (or already in) a situation in which you will feel a lack of freedom and choice. Such situations are tricky because the more you get into them, the more restricted you feel. At each step, your options seem to narrow until you feel completely stuck.

Reversed Cards: Every so often we fall prey to showing off. We have all been guilty of unintentionally rubbing other people’s noses into our good fortune, whether it’s a new toy, a new job, or a new partner. Most times we do this without much malice. It is when we do this on purpose and to deliberately make others feel bad that we have entered the shadow aspect of the Magician. If you have drawn this card, you know you have skills and you understand how to bring magic into your life, but you have failed to understand that these gifts are for you to share. What you consider amazing news might be terrible to someone close to you. Your newest toy might just remind someone else in your life of all that they can’t afford. Or perhaps you are the one who feels you are constantly being shown up by someone in your life. Remember, sometimes the Magician needs an audience, and if you no longer wish to watch, he will just move on and show someone else.
