      INTERFERENCE    EIGHT OF SWORDS      The number Eight, Hod, here signifies lack of persistence in matters of the intellect and  of contest. Good fortune, however, attends even these weakened efforts, thanks to the influ‐ ence of Jupiter in Gemini, ruling the Decan. Yet the Will is constantly thwarted by accidental  interference.    The centre of the card is occupied by two long Swords pointed downward. These are  crossed by six small swords, three on each side. They remind one of weapons peculiar to their  countries or their cults; we see here the Kriss, the Kukri, the Scramasax, the Dagger, the Ma‐ chete and the Yataghan.
