Eight of Swords
The Eight of Swords represents the inescapable nature of fate and destiny. Like Achilles struck down by an arrow to his vulnerable heel, this card symbolizes moments when we face our predetermined path or unavoidable consequences. It speaks to the acceptance of one's fate and the understanding that some events are beyond our control. The card reminds us that even the mightiest heroes have their weaknesses and must ultimately bow to destiny.
