Card for Discussion – The Eight of Swords.  The 8 of Swords has to do with feeling like you are stuck or trapped in your current circumstances.  You may feel like there is just no way out or be at a loss as to how to escape or get yourself out of a mess.  Although you may feel like your situation is hopeless, this card tells you that there is ALWAYS a way out of every spot.  It is just that you are basically blindfolded and can’t see it right now.  Remind yourself that you have had many other times in your life that you have felt this way (as have we all) and realize that you found a way out of all those problems too.  You can certainly do it again, you just have to open your eyes or look at things in a new way.  You have what it takes to do it.  Get past your fear of breaking free and don’t count on being rescued.  This is a lesson for you to learn and you will grow stronger as you do.  Blessings!
