8 of Swords

Message:
The quarantine is an opportunity to step out of victimhood and projections that keep us trapped in fear. A chance to see fear for what it is- a mechanism of the mind, an inner challenge.


Looking outward to external situations amplifies the feeling of panic, worry, and being trapped. Turning inward strengthens the remembrance that we are light ever expanding and light/ consciousness can never truly be blocked, only prompted to evolve.

If we feel bound/ like we can’t see it’s because we’re not supposed to be ‘seeing’ in the usual way now. We’re supposed to be looking inward.


8 is a symbol of mastery. Swords symbolize the mind. This is a card of mastery of the mind.

Swords are also the element air which is the swiftest/ lightest/ most clear. Once we observe our own mind’s tactics of control, imagination of future scenarios, & worry we are much less likely to be stuck there. Like air, we’ll simply watch fear evaporate in a breath, as we rise up to a new paradigm. It can be a swift maneuver if we just remember change starts within.

It only takes a tiny step to shift the whole picture.


For anyone out there who’s feeling overwhelmed…each morning when you wake up invite the possibility that you only think about the next 24 hours. That’s all, no further. Take this as a one-day-at-a-time Inner journey.
