The Eight of Swords best represents today's guest on The Tarot Table. This card in the Tarot deck represents feelings of being trapped or restricted.

In the traditional Rider-Waite deck, the card depicts a woman blindfolded and bound, surrounded by eight swords.

The swords form a barrier around her, symbolizing her limitations and obstacles.

The Eight of Swords often signifies a situation where one feels trapped by one's thoughts, fears, or circumstances.

It suggests a state of mental or emotional paralysis, where one feels powerless to make decisions or take action.

The blindfold represents a lack of clarity or understanding, while the bound hands symbolize a sense of helplessness.

However, it's important to note that the Eight of Swords also carries a message of hope.

The woman in the card is not physically restrained, and the swords do not form a complete enclosure.

This suggests that the limitations are self-imposed and can be overcome with a change in perspective or mindset.

And my guest today, Stepanka Kuralova is fitting with this card.
