Eight of Swords Love Tarot Meaning

You may feel hemmed in or even trapped with no obvious solution in sight. In fact, things aren't as bleak as you think if you take a step back. You need to turn down your emotions and tune in your brain - follow your head not your heart.

The Eight of Swords is associated with individualism and independence, but this doesn't mean you have to drop your date or avoid your amour. It can mean you just need to celebrate yourselves as individuals. Don't be one of those couples that are overly dependent on each other.

If a recent relationship has ended it is natural you might feel rather vulnerable. Give yourself time to heal before you head out on the town.

At least now you should know where you are going and develop an objective view of your relationship, the question is; do you like what you see? Whether you are delighted or disappointed with this new revelation you need to take action. If you don't act on your own terms fate will force your hand later. On a positive note, the reversed Eight of Swords may suggest you've been a bit of a worrywart; seeing problems where none existed.

Looking for love? Make sure you remove those rose coloured glasses, is your latest squeeze totally super or only superficially so?
