Surrounded by Swords

Just Picked the Eight of Swords Today
MEANINGS AND DESCRIPTION
The Eight of Swords shows a woman tied up, blindfolded, and surrounded by swords that act as a kind of prison or enclosure. It appears that there is no possibility of escape. She appears isolated and alone as she stands in the midst of a barren, watery wasteland far from the town in the distance. The sky is grey and cloudy, indicating despair and a lack of hope. The woman’s feet do not touch the water, indicating that the feeling of being restricted in the Eight of Swords is based on an intellectual assessment of the situation and not an emotional one. There is a path cleared before her, so there is actually a way out of this situation but the blindfolds prevent the woman from seeing her way out.
This is probably one of my favorite cards but one of my most dreaded.
I can probably interpret it as me stuck and helpless. Stuck in my own head
Analysis Paralysis and Information overload.
When you pick the Eight of Swords it is best if you chill and wait till your mind is clear.
Good Day :)

@shshiju Its a deck of cards consisting of 78 cards 56 minor arcana(knight of swords, two of cups) and 22 major arcana( Judgement,The fool, The magician).
and as for fortune telling there are many different techniques but I prefer the more simpler techniques which is the one card draw ( I draw one card from the shuffled deck :) )

One could see it that way...but also, they could see it as a hint...like, if one is blind to a way out, at least knowing there is a way out can be helpful...if we know we are blind, we can take off the blind fold;).
