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 Dynamism 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 Dynamism 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 Dynamism 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.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Elements of the Psychic World: A box or confined space thought to attract, store and release spiritual forces, enabling a medium to produce phenomena. The use of cabinets to manifest paranormal activity began in the mid-1800s with the Davenport brothers. The brothers had themselves bound and locked in a wooden cabinet, where they were supposedly incapable of moving, but somehow musical instruments would play as if guided by spirit hands. Their act was a huge success, and until the early twentieth century cabinets or black curtains for the medium to retire behind were all the rage. Cabinets are rarely used by modern mediums.

Creative Tarot: Of course, half the reason we think or say things like that is because we want someone to rescue us. To dust us off, and tell us how smart and important and talented we are. Or we want someone to tell us what to do, so that we don’t have to take responsibility for our own decisions. It’s an understandable response to failure, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good place to stay stuck. The only thing to do when you have the Eight of Swords is to save yourself. No one else is coming for you. You have only yourself to rely on. So it’s either save yourself or quit entirely. Which is it going to be?

Reversed Cards: When we walk into the world, we have to start from the beginning. We have to learn skills, social structures, rules, ideas and ways of being. Even movement needs to be learned. We wriggle, sit up, crawl, bend, and finally walk. Once we find our legs, the world needs to be relearned all over again. Learning to navigate the world once we find our legs is where the pages of the tarot come in. They are the beginning of the independent self, the self that has movement and the self that craves freedom. The pages show us what the first hooks of desire look like and how they can and do trap us. The pages teach us that freedom, independence, and identity come at a price and are not always easily maintained or given. The pages remind us that all of us, every single one of us, has to start somewhere. Even if we are upside down.

Astrology Basics: These four elements exist in three modalities, namely Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. These modalities further help assigning characteristics to the zodiac signs. Cardinal represents a personality of great force and action. Fixed modality represents a person with great willpower and an inability to be flexible. Mutable is someone who is resourceful and adaptive. These modalities are combined with the elements to describe someone who is born under a particular sign.
