An eight is for me either often an abundance (a cornucopia symbol), or the number of Justice.
The eight of swords, depicting as they do also a quadruple vesica piscis, is the only sword depiction shown three times in the series: as eight, as nine, and as ten.
In a reading, given the incredible symmetry of this depiction - that in the Conver even maintains its colouration when rotated, even though not mirror image, there may be an indication that the person is going around in circles in an attempt to engage what may be best left to grow of its own accord - and to allow for Lady Justitiæ to just take over, and a repose to be permitted to replace an active involvement.
There is an abundance of will-activity that has already been, or is currently being, given to the cardinal points of the compass - ie, to every avenue open. The swords, however, are here on each side stable and firm... allowing for the other to act it further called for.
Attached is the Conver version.
