Description
June 2019 The Eight of Swords represents feeling restricted, insecure, isolated, inhibited, and uptight. It suggests an experience of victim mentality, of being so imprisoned by one’s own mind, that the very act of thinking becomes limited and rigid. The problems we face might be real, but the fears and stories wrapped around them are not necessarily. If there is a desire to move out of this bondage, we can realize our fears are constructs of the mind, and begin to use the same powers to choose different, more empowering thoughts. The woman on this card may feel trapped and isolated, but it is an illusion. The ropes which bind her hands are loosely tied; with just a small amount of effort, she can liberate herself. Solutions exist, though they’re not always easy. Look for ways to ease the fears, search for solutions, and your mind will follow suit. Pride Tarot is an incredibly diverse and unique deck that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community.
