Eight of Swords, Reversed

The Eight of Swords shows us a woman bound, blindfolded, in a field.  She stand in water runoff , behind her is a secure fortress.  This woman feels bound, helpless, hopeless, and life seems to be running out of her.  The woman runs the risk of this imprisonment becoming comfortable and safe.

The reverse of this card would indicate that freedom has occurred or will occur very soon.  This person is becoming Spiritually aware and awake.  Hope, faith, love are returning to her.  The troubles of yesterday are behind her, the future is very bright and much alive.

Queen of Wands

The Queen of Wands reminds us to be aware, watchful, think, and consider all of the sides of a situation before acting or making a decision.  Remember to give leniency where it is due but also judge fairly when judgement is required.  The control of the situation lies with you - even if you can't control the outcome, you can control how you react to it.
