Eight of Swords
The Eight of Swords represents negative thoughts and imposing restrictions on oneself. When the Eight of Swords appears, there will be a sense of panic about an issue or situation. Negativity, pessimism and doom and gloom will govern. You cannot possibly deal with all Eight Swords at the one time for that would be too much for any of us. You need to take one Sword (stress) at a time and attempt to sort it before moving on to the next one. Think clearly and lose the victim mentality. Solutions to your problems are there if you are prepared to seek them out.
