Well-Being, Physical Health Or Mental Health:
More than anything else, in the context of health, this card points to the mind/body connection and the urgency with which we all need to look at our thoughts and expectations and behaviors when we are dealing with troublesome symptoms or health conditions. We do not create every symptom or illness (genetics and environment certainly can play a role), but health is almost always made worse when our thinking is mainly negative or filled with anxiety. Such things can be buried very deep. Find help if you need to in order to unearth these damaging negative patterns.
Card Meanings: Feeling Pressure, Paralysed By Fear/Terror, Indecision, Persecution, Crisis, Victimised, Psychological Issues, Punishment, Censure, Weakness, Hands Tied, Feeling Trapped, Silenced, Dilemma, Restricted, Judgment, Anxiety, Backed Into A Corner, Hopeless, Trial By Jury, Helpless, Negative Attitudes, Consequences, Powerless, Drama, Imprisonment, Slavery
When the Eight of Swords appears, you may be holding yourself back because you fear moving into the future, or because you are wary of getting hurt by a new situation, or maybe for no reason at all. Think through what it is that you’re afraid of. The truth of the situations are probably much less frightening than your mind is making it out to be.

Reversed Cards: One could argue that the upright version of this card is actually the retrograde aspect of its ruling planet, Jupiter. When Jupiter is retrograde, it is much harder to find the traction to expand and grow, which means that when you flip this card in the reverse aspect, you actually free Jupiter and return it to its direct position. This may or may not be a good thing. It really does depend on what cards land before this one in your reading. If you can see that you have been spinning your wheels, desperate to find firmer ground, then this is a positive position for the Eight of Swords. If, however, you find dreamy, distracting cards in front of this card, maybe you want to keep Jupiter bound just a little longer.

Complete Book of Tarot: Waite (1911): A man of dejected aspect is deserting the cups of his felicity, enterprise, undertaking, or previous concern. Divinatory Meanings: Some say joy, mildness, timidity, honor, modesty, but in practice, the card usually shews the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence—either for good or evil; (R) great joy, happiness, feasting.
