Your current situation

The Eight of Swords represents vulnerability. This is a time when your situation is currently getting the best of you. You are feeling all tied up and are unable to see your choices. The keywords here are 'feeling tied up.' You are not without the resources necessary to get out of your present situation, you just need to find focus and clarity.

What is in your way

The Two of Swords is all about denial. This is an indication that you may be hiding your emotions while pretending that things are different. It is important that you try and see the truth because the only way to see the different choices available to you is to be able to see them. By denying things, you are blocking off your acknowledgement of some of the paths that are available to you.

What you are hoping to achieve

The presence of the Devil is an indication that your goals are not really your own. It is possible that you are being manipulated by others. This is a very dangerous state to be in because often people are not aware that others are manipulating them unless they are willing to take a close look at reality. Often, reality is not as clean as you would like. These cobwebs make taking a look at things much harder. It is important to remember that a thirst for power is often the tool less-scrupulous people use to gain control over you.

What is influencing your efforts

The Queen of Cups is about empathy. She is telling you to take a look at your current situation not just through logic and critical thinking, but also with emotion. While it is possible to be emotional to the point where you are no longer able to see the truth, it is also possible to repress your emotions to the point where you lose your compassion. The first extreme is caused by using your emotions in-spite of your rational mind while the later extreme is caused by applying logic without thinking about the human side of the equation into account.

Past influences

As the Star represents upcoming success, being in a past position is usually a really good sign. While it may mean that you are realizing your dreams, in an otherwise negative layout, it could mean that your ideas or expectations are too high. In either case, success lies ahead of you as long as you trust in yourself and your capabilities.

The near future

The Five of Swords in the future position indicates conflict or hostility may be coming. You need to take a close look at your limitations to know whether this indicates that you need to retreat or if this is an opportunity for conquest.

Potential outcome

Judgement is about finding the truth and facing up to the facts. Have you really lived life to your potential? Have you been the best person you are capable of being or have you let greed destroy your soul?
