Hi!
I've been pondering the meaning of the 8 of Swords in feelings, and it recently appeared as feelings in one of my readings. Typically, this card suggests feeling stuck or restricted. So, when it comes to feelings about another person, could it imply that person X feels stuck or confused about person Y?

Examining the card, I notice the lady surrounded by swords. Could these swords represent the factors keeping person X restricted? Perhaps the swords symbolize thoughts, indicating that thoughts are blocking or restricting the feelings of person X towards person Y?

My friend views the 8 of Swords in feelings as suggesting that person X feels restricted and stuck when close to person Y.

I understand that interpretations can vary depending on the reading, but what are the potential meanings that you folks see with this card in this context? Any alternative perspectives or thoughts on what I just shared would be appreciated.

Thanks! 🌟

    The individual in question might be overly logical about the situation to the extent of being unable to genuinely feel anything. In this case, there doesn't seem to be confusion; rather, it's a person who has consciously set aside their feelings, perhaps at the expense of something else. This aligns with the aspect of "being stuck/restricted."

    Receiving the 8 of Swords for someone's feelings isn't an ideal scenario in my view.

    Alternatively, consider this interpretation:

    When experiencing intense feelings for someone, such as passionate love, and feeling desperate and stuck due to the inability to act on those emotions as in the case of unrequited love, I often encounter the 8 of Swords as a representation of those feelings.

    Ultimately, you'll need to decide which interpretation resonates more in the given context. 🌟

      I don't interpret the 8 of Swords as representing confusion in feelings, but I do concur with the notion of being stuck or restricted. In the context of feelings, the 8 of Swords may suggest an inability or reluctance to express one's emotions because the object of those feelings is unavailable or off-limits for instance, a best friend's significant other or it's deemed inappropriate to reveal such feelings like to a boss.

      Another perspective could be that the person refuses to acknowledge or confront those feelings personally—adopting the mindset of "If I can't see, touch, or feel you, I can ignore my feelings for you."

      Additionally, the 8 of Swords could symbolize a kind of teenage angst-infused "lurve" intentional misspelling of love, characterized by sentiments like "I can't live without you! I'm no good without you! Nothing matters if you're not around!"💑

          Hi! Shoron11Ostrovsky

          Hahaha, 😺 I enjoyed your "lurve" interpretation; it makes sense in the context of this card... I really liked it.

          Regarding the rest, I agree—especially with the denial of feelings, particularly the inability to express them.

          Thanks for the insights, Shoron! 🌟

            I appreciated your interpretation of being "extremely logical"; it might be challenging for someone to adopt, but many people do so for various reasons.

            Thanks for sharing your insights, Mariia! 🌟

              In the realm of feelings, the 8 of Swords suggests a sense of being restricted or confined. If someone is expressing emotions associated with this card, they might feel limited or trapped in some aspect of their emotional experience. This could indicate a sense of uncertainty, self-imposed restrictions, or feeling unable to break free from a challenging situation. It's important to approach these feelings with empathy and understanding, recognizing that the person may be going through a tough time and may need support in navigating their emotional constraints.💗
