There is a mystery here that repays meditation. The divine name has both three letters, yet at the same time four letters. Keep this in mind when reflecting that the elements are threefold, when considering only the higher spiritual side of the elements represented in the trumps, yet fourfold, when considering the lower earthly expression of the elements represented by the suits.

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.
