8 Of Swords

General:

Being open to defeat will increase your wins. Do not fear the unknown. Examine your thoughts, speech, and behaviour for negativity and know that what you say and do affect the outcomes in your life. If you need help managing and dealing with your fears, ask for it.

Work:

If you’re worrying your work, believe that you hold the power to change your situation. In other words, if your heart and spirit are crying out for a different and better work situation, do not let your worry hold you back. You cannot have it both ways; either you want out of your current situation, or you are prepared to put up with the way things are. Which one is it?

Love:

You need to seriously revaluate your relationship. You may be sticking with someone that is bad for you, just because you figure it’s better than nothing. 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.

Finances: 

You need to beware the self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe your bad financial luck will never change, that may be the reality that you create in your life. Think through what your skillset and options are or might be. Explore new income streams. Expect the best, even as you are preparing for the worst.

Health:

This card points to the mind-body connection and the urgency with which we all need to look at our thoughts, expectations, and behaviours, especially when we are dealing with troublesome symptoms or health conditions. Disease is created by dis-ease and can be manifested from what we put in our body. This includes our worrisome thoughts, unhealthy foods, and lack of exercise. Find help if you need to in order to unearth these damaging patterns.

Spirituality:

Know that you have the answers that you need inside already. Time spent in meditation will be helpful. If you still need direction, ask your spirit guides and the universe for signs. These can be as subtle as repeatedly seeing a phrase or hearing a song. You will not be kept down unless you’re the one refusing to get help.
