Upright:
Bondage. Restriction.
Being blind to the problem.
Trapped and anxious.
Reversed:
Frustration and guilt.
A lashing out at others.
Now, this too shall pass.

Another card with a somewhat darker meaning both Upright and Reversed. But despite the heavy interpretations, I love how you ended it on a positive and reassuring note 
Tarot cards seem to be all shades of light and dark, but I don’t think any of them are so negative that they leave no room at all for positivity. I love how you include some hope even with the darkest cards of the deck, @Amethyst. Really great job as always!

Thank you, my dear! I’m glad you like my interpretation of the cards. I dunno about hope, the ten of swords is popping up soon and that to me is even worse than the Tower, IMO.
Thank you, love!

Haha well, sometimes hope in a reading can be “at least it can’t get any worse than this!”

Haha I’ll have to keep these in mind for the days when I draw the Tower, Ten of Swords, and other not-so-cheery cards

Sense this isn’t a reading for anyone, I can feel free to give my interpretation to this card, according of what I see on the image. While the number 8 is a sign of luck and of infinity. You can see that the woman; specially on the Raider Waite, is using a red dress, which is a fire element. In which can make a person to be adventurous, determined to make things happen. But she’s also eye fold and tied with swords on her sides. Like @Amethyst wrote, restricting her to move, and solve the situations that might come or is in motion in her life. The motive can be a lot of things, even from herself. There’s a castle, in which can make you understand that she isn’t a person in needs, showing to us that being surrounded of wealth, can make a person unhappy and unmotivated, even though there is fire in her, but the lack of experience and to be independent, is limiting her way in life.

There’s more things that can be added on this single card. The water element on the floor, and near the castle. This are keys that can help a cartomancer to interpret a card on a section. This and the spread used, so you can have a better spectrum of it. While there’s cartomancers with the ability to fall in trance, and start talking without the need of a question. Is amazing of how the cards is attached with the zodiac. By understanding a little the elements and the zodiac. A single card can give you insights to a person, and not be wrong on a reading, without the need to be a professional on the subject of cartomancy, and the science involve in it.
