Todays Tarot card- the Eight of Swords.

Todays Tarot card I have drawn from the deck is the Eight of Swords.

The image on this card shows a figure of 8 formed from some barbed golden bramble or somesuch material, with 8 upwardly pointing swords within it.
The figure of 8 is held within a stone room with a window. Either side of the window stand two knights in armour, but we cannot see if the suits are full or not. Sunlight pours in through the window and illuminates the scene.

The number 8 has a meaning of unity- there is balance and harmony as the bottom and top halves of the figure are equal.
But this symbol also has a meaning of infinity, of everlastingness.

With this card, the presence of the guards and the fact that the swords are within the symbol of 8,the feeling of being trapped or confined within a space are strong. It may be that you feel as though you have limited options to feel more free in your relationship or job or whatever it is in your life that makes you feel confined or limited.
The card also has the hope from the sunlight. It cannot be confined, it is free to go wherever it likes as long as there is an aperture for it to shine through. This indicates that you have a chance to feel less constricted especially if you can use your intuition to help guide you through your choices in life.

The image is of a scarecrow in the village show which is traditionally a guardian of the crops to scare predators away from the grain.
