Eight of Swords Yes or No? Get Your Tarot Answers Clearly Now

Alright, let’s gab about this here “Eight of Swords” card, you know, the one them tarot readers keep flappin’ about. Is it a “yes” or a “no”? That’s what folks wanna know, ain’t it? Well, gather ’round, and I’ll tell ya what I reckon, plain and simple, like it is.

So, what’s this Eight of Swords all about?

First off, gotta look at the picture, right? It’s like this gal, all tied up, blindfolded, swords stickin’ in the ground all around her. Looks right uncomfortable, if you ask me. She’s stuck, can’t move much. That ain’t a good sign, now is it?

• Stuck in a rut.
• Feelin’ trapped, like a fly in a spiderweb.
• Can’t see the way out.
• Lots of worries swirling around in her head.

Now, when you ask your question and this card pops up, is it a “yes” or a “no”? Mostly, I’d say it’s a big ol’ NO. Yep, a “no” like a stubborn mule. It’s like the cards are sayin’, “Hold your horses, honey! You ain’t ready yet.”

Why? Well, think about it. That gal in the picture, she ain’t goin’ nowhere fast. She’s gotta get herself untangled first. She’s gotta rip off that blindfold and see what’s what. Same goes for you. If you’re askin’ about somethin’ new, like a new job or movin’ to a new place, this card’s sayin’, “Woah there, slow down! You got some thinkin’ to do.”

But, and there’s always a “but,” ain’t there? Sometimes, it ain’t a straight “no.” It’s more like a “maybe, but it’s gonna be a heck of a lot of work.” It’s like tryin’ to plow a rocky field. You can do it, but you’re gonna sweat buckets and maybe break a plowshare or two.

Think of it this way:

• If the swords are all even, like two, four, six, eight, well, maybe you can do it, but there’ll be delays and roadblocks. Like tryin’ to get to town on a muddy road after a big rain.
• If the swords are odd, like three, five, seven, well, maybe it’s doable, but you’re gonna have to fight tooth and nail for it. Like wrangling a greased pig at the county fair.

So, what do you do if you get this Eight of Swords? Don’t go weepin’ and wailin’ now. It ain’t the end of the world. It just means you gotta take a step back, take a deep breath, and figure things out.

Here’s what I’d tell my own grandbaby:

1. First, figure out what’s holdin’ you back. Is it fear? Is it doubt? Is it that loudmouth neighbor tellin’ you you can’t do it? Whatever it is, name it and face it.
2. Then, rip off that blindfold! Stop listenin’ to them negative voices in your head. Start lookin’ for the good, for the possibilities. There’s always a way out, even if you can’t see it right off.
3. And finally, start movin’. Even if it’s just a tiny step. One foot in front of the other. You gotta get yourself unstuck, you hear?

This Eight of Swords card, it ain’t sayin’ you’re a failure. It’s just sayin’ you need to do some work. You need to clear your head, get your feet on solid ground, and then you can go after what you want. Don’t let them swords keep you trapped. You’re stronger than you think, you got more grit than you know.

So, next time you see that Eight of Swords starin’ back at you, don’t panic. Just remember what I told you. It’s probably a “no” for now, or maybe a “yes” with a whole heap of work attached to it. But either way, you got this. You just gotta get yourself untangled and face the world head-on, like a good, strong woman should. And that’s all there is to it, plain and simple.
