What does Eight of Swords mean in love?
In love, feeling trapped; the way out is closer than you think.

Yes or no?
No, first overcome your fear. That is the answer Eight of Swords gives in yes-or-no spreads; but a card's meaning is only complete when read together with the cards beside it and the context of your question.
