The Eight of Swords shows a binding mental organisation: rules, arguments and beliefs can limit the possibilities they were meant to clarify.

Eight upright swords line up in two parallel files and close the space like a fence. The blades rise side by side, regular, with not a single crossing.
Going back over the rules you follow one by one drops those with no reason left to stand, and shows what holds only through habit.
The inner frame closes: you turn down proposals before even reading them, and chances pass without you, filtered by a rule you no longer question.
Symbolism TdM. The VIII takes up the square of the IV in mirror and closes the most regular figure among the numbers, before the IX adds an axis to it.
Isolate the obstacle that holds you back the most and look for what actually attests to it. Without verifiable evidence, it is only an assumption to test.
