If you or someone close to you is represented by this card, beware. It is symbolic of a forceful personality, one which combines zealous dedication to success with razor-sharp intellect. However, whether in the form of a companion or your own inner nature, these same attributes can give rise to a formidable enemy. When it refers instead to your circumstances, this suggests you are headed for turbulent times, which can be most successfully faced with decisive action on your part
Knight of Swords
Look to a friend for encouragement or help in an important career move.
Knight of Swords
Is the worldly and calm projection of authority. To find him in your spread is most likely a reference to someone else who will aid you in achieving your goals. This person may seem unconcerned, even distant, but their motivations are pure. Whatever advice they give will be important to you and should be considered in your own deliberations. If it does refer to you personally, it shows an inner strength and tightly disciplined control of emotions.

Two of Swords
Like crossed blades, it represents a balance of forces. Not necessarily an absence of struggle, but an equal distribution of force in opposition. It may indicate you are in a position to mediate a conflict, or it may instead suggest you are caught in the middle of a dilemma with no clear outcome. The resolution of this state will likely bring peace for you.

Obstacles
You must rely on your courage and patience to overcome adversity and the restrictions placed upon you.
Some things in life are beyond your control, and the Eight of Swords suggests that you are being actively held back by some of them. This can be something as personal as a bad boss or as sweeping as international politics. In any case, you are likely finding your options restricted at every turn, and may be experiencing rising frustration and anxiety. Your best course of action lies with the only thing you can control: You. Approach this situation with patience, and be ready to move when the situation changes.

Past Foundations
You have held an ideal of perfection which has caused you loss or pain.
Queen of Swords
Represents a very perceptive individual, sharp-witted and professionally distant. You will most likely find her to be your aid and counsel, possibly a teacher. Not necessarily female, but likely to be, this person should be trusted and may take an interest in you, but that interest is unlikely to be romantic. A powerful ally, respect her intelligence and you will be rewarded with guidance.

Future
You will be tempted to delay facing a difficult situation, yet your reticence will only cause the situation to deteriorate. Act with courage, and in the most honourable manner you can to bring about the best possible ending.
