What does 7 Of Swords and 8 Of Swords mean together for your love life?

When the 7 of Swords tarot card and 8 of Swords tarot card appear together in a love reading, it can suggest that an act of dishonesty has been perpetrated and it may have led to a sense of restriction or imprisonment in your relationship. There could be a feeling of betrayal and abandonment that has caused you to isolate yourself from your partner, shutting your emotions off and detaching yourself emotionally in order to protect yourself from further hurt. You may be asking yourself why you are in this situation and feeling overwhelmed by the thought of ever having to be vulnerable again.

It is important in this situation to take a step back and identify why you are feeling so restricted. Has your partner been dishonest in some way? Do you feel betrayed or hurt by something your partner has done? It is important to be honest with yourself and your partner about the hurt caused by their actions. This is the only true way to restore trust in your relationship.

On the flip side, the cards also show that this situation can be rectified and there is hope for the future. To make this happen, it is essential to examine why the dishonesty occurred in the first place. Is it linked to a fear of opening up or to lack of communication? It is also key to focus on rebuilding your trust, even if this means taking baby steps to get there.

By looking to the future, it is possible to turn this difficult situation around and use it as an opportunity to develop a stronger, more honest and more connected relationship. With the right amount of effort and communication, you can work together to resolve issues and work towards a more fulfilling and satisfying love life.

When looking at the 7 of Swords and the 8 of Swords together, it can be a bit disconcerting. The 7 of Swords suggests a sense of dishonesty and betrayal, while the 8 of Swords indicates self-imposed restrictions and isolation.

For your physical health, it can be interpreted as a warning against allowing yourself to become so desperate for change or freedom that you allow yourself to become vulnerable to betrayal or theft.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

• The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
• The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Both 7 Of Swords and 8 Of Swords mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw 7 Of Swords and 8 Of Swords the answer to your question is “NO”.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.
