8 of Swords, Interference.

One can certainly think too much. At a certain point, no amount of thinking can place us back upon the way. Every minute detail is considered, then the process is begun again. There is no sleep there is no release. The engine of the mind begins to spin faster and faster. Disengaged, out of control, the mechanism begins to consume itself.

the lord jupiter and his messager mercury canst not have any effect on anything through the objective universe that rests in the sephira of hod. try and tell someone it is this or that way, but in hod it is already absolutely and unquestionably defined. another path must be taken to have them see it your way.

If you look at the six of disks, you can see a small cross behind the rose and the cross. It is the symbol of "Dominion" (two of wands). It is formed by the outweighing of Aries and Venus and Jupiter and Mercury. In the set of swords you have Jupiter twice, as the four and the eight of swords. The four of swords is the established order, a structure to look at things or to regulate them. There are millions of ways to structure reality, but generally you choose one certain way to gain clarity. Sometimes life is too complex. Suddenly you face a situation were you can't decide which of maybe two suitable models should be preferred. Both have their right to be, but they won't fit together. Until you reconciled them this causes a certain tension (eight of swords). To be in balance you have to accept a position in the middle of the four and the eight of swords and balance it with the Mercury of the swords: "science". In science you learn to develop falsifiable models. A completion of the interference, the backside, would be the three of cups.

This is deep doubt about 2 situations, people or aspcects of the self or life. There is an inability to grow or move on as a you are unable to make up your mind about 2 things (gemini). Sometimes things have to fully expand before you can let them contract and become less a part of your life. (Jupiter). This is expansion of the 2 of Swords but to such an extent that they are digressent and may become opposing. There is not much one can do but wait. Interference can often be just sheer bad luck!! But this can also be interference from a gemini person that is not abling you to expand and move on. A situation in life is so restricting that its creating deep negative energy (shown by the dark blue in the back of the card). You are unable to use your swords of protection against this element and maybe feel caught between a rock and a hard place. Piggy in the middle between two people is leading to hatred for both. Inability to express your conscience fully. Deep confusion and a tendency to over analyse to the point of indecision. The 6 positive swords in Science have lost their power. To counter balance this situation concentrate on the Major Arcarna VIII, Adjustment, which will realign your mental clarity and reshift your focus, so as to deal with the situation or person as best is possible considering.

Jupiter in Gemini.
Mental interference.
Look from within--stop listening to everyone else.
Stop and center yourself...look at what you want and focus.
Come back into balance.
