Jewel13 Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Of late I have been getting repeat cards on my daily guidance pulls. This week it is the 8 of swords. I use the Rider-Waite deck. I struggle a bit with this card. I liked what Lindsay Mack said in one of her posts if you feel trapped check to make sure you can open the window or something like that. I also read it is a feeling of unworthiness. Curious other's thoughts on the card and repeater cards in general.
gregory Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 I read it (usually) as however trapped you feel, there is always a way out; stay calm and you WILL find it.
DanielJUK Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 The upright card's message ultimately is the woman is trapped by her own thoughts and perspectives, she can get out of those bounds and take off the blindfold but she chooses to remain there, constricted by her own self-imposed boundaries. This could be trapped in negative thinking patterns or things that happened in your past. It's really important with this card that you have choices, you still have some power and look at things with new perspectives. If you are getting this repeating, this means it's something you shouldn't ignore and time to change something. I would look for new perspectives and angles on matters currently in your life. The old quote "don't believe everything you think!" matches this card well.

Super interesting interpretation... reminds me of what a therapist said to me years ago. You can't think your way out of this....meaning I needed to drop into my feelings. Of course at that stage of my life and therapy, I had ABSOLUTELY NO idea what she was talking about.

After more reflection and reading these responses, I've also realized I have had some old thoughts on repeat. 8 of swords trying to get my attention - I am creating my own reality.
