Upright
A blindfolded, loosely bound figure stands surrounded by eight swords — the fence isn’t as solid as it feels, and the blindfold is the real obstacle. Upright, Eight of Swords is a trap that’s mostly made of your own perspective.

Reversed: finally seeing the way out, or continuing to feel stuck out of habit.
