Eight of Swords
The Eight of Swords signifies the struggle between self-doubt and personal power. It encourages you to stop overthinking and take action despite feeling trapped by circumstances or mental blockages.

Stop overthinking it & just do it.
Upright Meaning
"I'm never going to get this paper done," the witch mumbles to herself, hoping no one hears her over all the hustle & bustle of the café. "Thanks a million, writer's block!" Sometimes we leave the things we dread doing until the very last moment, & while working under pressure works out for some, it doesn't so much for others. What time-sensitive predicament have you gotten yourself into? This card suggests that you should accept the fate you've created for yourself & stop stressing out so much. Once your mind has a chance to clear a little, you'll find that you have the power to work through your personal blockages & get it done. Don't think, I can't do this. Instead, think, you know what? I'll do the best I can.
Reversed Meaning
You convinced yourself you wouldn't be able to pull something off, not because you actually couldn't do it, but because you wanted an excuse not to do it. You let yourself down & perhaps even others in the process, you're capable of so much more—keep that in mind for next time.
