Romance, Love Or Relationships:
In the context of love, the Eight of Swords points to a need to seriously re-evaluate a relationship. You may be sticking with someone that is actually bad for you, since you figure it’s ‘better than nothing.’ If that’s the case, rethink. Being in an unhealthy relationship is much worse than being alone. If you are looking for love, first look at how well you love yourself. Someone else cannot come along and fix you. Start where you are.
Card Meanings: Feeling Pressure, Paralysed By Fear/Terror, Indecision, Persecution, Crisis, Victimised, Psychological Issues, Punishment, Censure, Weakness, Hands Tied, Feeling Trapped, Silenced, Dilemma, Restricted, Judgment, Anxiety, Backed Into A Corner, Hopeless, Trial By Jury, Helpless, Negative Attitudes, Consequences, Powerless, Drama, Imprisonment, Slavery
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.

Reversed Cards: One could argue that the upright version of this card is actually the retrograde aspect of its ruling planet, Jupiter. When Jupiter is retrograde, it is much harder to find the traction to expand and grow, which means that when you flip this card in the reverse aspect, you actually free Jupiter and return it to its direct position. This may or may not be a good thing. It really does depend on what cards land before this one in your reading. If you can see that you have been spinning your wheels, desperate to find firmer ground, then this is a positive position for the Eight of Swords. If, however, you find dreamy, distracting cards in front of this card, maybe you want to keep Jupiter bound just a little longer.

Complete Book of Tarot: Waite (1911): A posse of youths, who are brandishing staves, as if in sport or strife. It is mimic warfare, and hereto correspond the Divinatory Meanings: Imitation, as, for example, sham fight, but also the strenuous competition and struggle of the search after riches and fortune. In this sense it connects with the battle of life. Hence some attributions say that it is a card of gold, gain, opulence; (R) litigation, disputes, trickery, contradiction.
