Seven of Swords
Seven of Swords — a man carries off five swords, glancing back: cunning, not always honest.
Upright Position
Deception, a trick, going around the rules. The card points to someone playing their own game — sometimes the querent.
Reversed Position
The deception is exposed, the conscience speaks up, stolen goods are returned. Sometimes — self-deception.
In love and at work
In love — things left unsaid, hidden motives. In career — intrigue, poaching clients, someone else's idea passed off as your own.
Suit
Swords are the suit of Air: thoughts, words, conflicts, decisions. The Seven is a number card: it describes a situation, not a person.
The card's advice
Check who is playing their own game — including you. Right now a roundabout way will cost more than the direct one.
