Romance, Love Or Relationships:
When it comes to love, the Eight of Swords reversed points to potential disagreements and petty arguments in an existing relationship. Try to get to the root of any problems; arguments are not always about what they seem to be about on the surface. If you are feeling lonely and looking for love, this card is a hint that you have some work to do on yourself first. Another person cannot fill you up, if you are feeling empty. And feeling empty drives prospective partners away.
Card Meanings: Healing, Oppression, Standing Up To Abuse, Paralysis, Escape, Finding Solutions/ Options, Hopeful, End Of Punishment, Relaxation, New Beginnings, Freedom, Overcome Obstacles, Release, Relief, Prison Release, Facing Fears/ Truth, Releasing Anxiety, Clear Mind, Empowered, Severe Depression, Survivor, Mental Strength, Self-Belief, Taking Control
When the Eight of Swords appears, you may be holding yourself back because you fear moving into the future, or because you are wary of getting hurt by a new situation, or maybe for no reason at all. Think through what it is that you’re afraid of. The truth of the situations are probably much less frightening than your mind is making it out to be.

Creative Tarot: You must do the same when you pull the Eight of Swords. You have to find a way to create again.
Tarot Triumphs: This is the basic concept of how we can use the Tarot for divination. But to set all this in a wider context, let’s first explore the idea of divination itself and see how Tarot may fit into the wide spectrum of divination methods. Then we’ll take a foray into its history, following an intriguing and often elusive trail back toward its source. All this can only be an overview, within the scope of this chapter; many points are bound to remain unexplored in such a brief exposition. Nevertheless, having some sense of the bigger picture, even in a general way, can deepen our understanding of Tarot too. Seeing Tarot in its divinatory and its historical contexts adds to our appreciation of it. This in turn can increase fluency in using the cards and give confidence when deciding what approaches to employ in Tarot divination. It also helps us to maintain a thoughtful, flexible outlook. Rules tend to become rigid when these deeper sorts of questions are not asked, and then a system is at risk of becoming brittle and losing its inner life.

Reversed Cards: If you have ever felt out of alignment, off balance, and completely out of place, then you have experienced Temperance in the blocked aspect. When Temperance is blocked, it is almost impossible to feel like you have a clear head or a focused plan of action. Stress, anxiety, and doubt will be the three major players in your life, and there is a good chance you are self-medicating just to avoid the issue. Yes, Temperance does look like an esoteric bartender. The good news is the healing energy of this card is still available to you; the key to this aspect of Temperance is meditation. When all else fails, meditation should always be your go-to. Try downloading an app like Stop, Breathe & Think and plug yourself into one of many free and quick meditations. If nothing else, it will put a gap between you and your normal, habitual denial go-to.
