8 of Swords Tarot Card: Analyzing Situations
What is the 8 of Swords tarot card all about? Among other things, it is about realizing that obstacles are behind us. We got past them. What happens is, we get conditioned by disappointment and hard times so much sometimes that we come to expect them and assume that they are always going to be a part of our lives. We don’t always realize that we have gotten past the hard times. We are so conditioned to react to them that we think they are always there.
We need to train ourselves to analyze our situations and notice when they have changed and shifted to the better. We need to notice when the difficult times are behind us. If we don’t do this, we stay stuck and stagnant in this energy of non-growth, although it is based on an untruth. This untruth is based on the perception that there is an obstacle in the way. But there is no obstacle in our way. There used to be, but we have moved past it. It is behind us now. So what is blocking us now is only just a mirage. Have the courage to charge towards this block with the faith that it will disappear, because it will- because it’s not real. There is nothing there. Keep some faith in that. — Jim Larsen
