ILLUSTRATION: The sure things about Knight of Swords are: his hurry, his high energy level, his movement. See him go!
In the illustration, he is pursuing, chasing, running after – hot pursuit, even. That’s because he holds that heavy sword all the way up like that. But in real Tarot life, this Knight of Swords can mean all sorts of directions: He can be running away or fleeing. He commonly ‘returns’ and ‘leaves.’ He goes back and forth, as in commuting or driving by his lady-love’s house. He can be making a U-turn, which can translate ‘turnaround’ of a situation.
So how do you determine? – the surrounding cards, and the question you asked. (We don’t have questions or even questioners (querants) here.)
Knight of Swords goes back and forth, which can be about switching – switching anything. He leaves one lady or job or city or apartment for another. He switches sides. He doubles back. He comes back home.
(Frequent translates that DON’T have anything to do with moving on out for Mr. Knight of Swords are: suddenly, emergency, immediately, instantly. He is associated with forceful action … strike … and great effort because of this high energy you see in his illustration. But today it’s the direction meanings we mostly use.)
.
Here are Eight of Pentacles’ meanings: is work; jobs; (they) keep; every day; to work; the work; how things are done; at work; your job; a constant effort; that I always had; a few (go-rounds); keeps _ing; doing all these things; one after another; workers; doing things; all the time. [Note many times ‘job’ and ‘work’ belong to Eight of Pentacles. I don’t put duplicates in this list.]
.

ILLUSTRATION: You are looking at a working man working. He is hammering repeatedly and making one identical item after another. First, Eight of Pentacles is anything at all to do with job, work, labor or profession; with workplace or work site; with workers, staff, or employees. Next is repeated items or actions: one thing at a time, one thing after another, keeping at (anything), consistent, constant, persistent, unremitting, steady.
Next is actually hands-on doing anything, or being the one (say, the worker, the doer) who is doing or has done whatever it is. (Magician too is associated with this ‘doing,’ and ‘being the one who does’ concept.)
