Eight of Swords: Restriction

Changes need to be made. You have been feeling restricted for too long now. It’s crucial for these changes to come as soon as possible but you may not currently be able to see how these will occur. Consequently, it is crucial for you to look within yourself to figure out how you can bring that missing sense of freedom into your life. Perhaps you have yourself oversubscribed to too many activities or people. Maybe you need to think about focusing on yourself for a while. Also, you need to act sensibly right now even though you might feel like throwing caution to the wind. Resist the urge to enter into contracts right now for products such as a mortgage loan or other financial agreement. You need fewer ties right now – not more.

Now is Not the Time to Enter into Financial Agreements For a Mortgage/Loan

Keywords that connect with the Eight of Swords: Restriction include: change, fear, and isolation. You perhaps feel isolated because you are constantly worrying about what you lack in life rather than focusing on what you already have. You alone have the power to set your set yourself free of these constraints. So, it is crucial to work on changing your mindset to one of ‘plenty’ rather than ‘lack.’ 

Your angels wish you to begin to look back on the choices you have made that have taken you to the place you are now. If you’re feeling restricted by your financial choices, perhaps you have overstretched yourself when securing a mortgage/loan. Maybe you’re spending over and above your means. If this is the case, it’s crucial that you take steps to get things back on track again. 

Try to Stop Isolating Yourself

You may be in an isolated position right now. Perhaps you feel that there is a distance between you and someone who should be closer. Maybe you have taken the decision to actively distance yourself from others. Whatever is going on in your life, it is important for your wellbeing and sense of inner happiness to connect with others who will support you and treat you with kindness.

If you feel sidelined or blocked within your usual social circle or at work, it’s crucial for you to get back out there and remedy this. Whatever is making you feel restricted won’t last forever. There is a way out. You will find a way!
