Seven of Swords upright
A man tiptoes away from a camp with five swords in his arms, glancing back over his shoulder. This card has two faces: on one side, cunning, strategy and the ability to act with discretion; on the other, deception or the feeling that something isn't being told in full. It may invite you to check whether someone is playing with an advantage or whether you are the one avoiding the direct route. Being resourceful is valuable, as long as it doesn't take you away from your integrity.
Seven of Swords reversed
Reversed, secrets tend to come to light. It can point to a confession, a decision to stop hiding or a wish to act with more transparency. It also warns about self-deception: those stories you tell yourself so as not to face something you already sense deep down.
The suit of Swords
The suit of air: the mind and the word. The Swords speak of thoughts, decisions, truths and conflicts.
