I've been dabbling with Tarot but I get what you mean. The 8 of Swords usually shows up when someone's feeling stuck or trapped by their own worries — fears and insecurities that hold you back.
If Temperance turns up as a follow-up, that's a really positive shift: more balance and healing. It could also mean the chemistry between you two has room to grow once those mental blocks are worked through.
Just my two cents, but I see promise there.
