Eight of Swords
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.
Swords
Swords belong to the element of air and represent the realm of thought: decisions, conflicts, truth, and clarity. These cards often appear when you are working through a mental challenge or facing a difficult choice. Swords can be confronting, but they ultimately push you toward honesty, both with yourself and with others.
