The Meaning of the Seven of Swords in the Tarot Card System

The 7 (Seven) of Swords

General Meaning

Deception, cunning, a dangerous enemy, a secret saboteur, attempts to take the querent's property, resourcefulness, intellectual superiority over an opponent, surmountable difficulties and obstacles, gossip, slander, trouble in business dealings. Troubles and problems that are not easy to cope with. You need outside help to solve the problem. This card may also reflect your current negative outlook on life. Robbery, deceit. If you intend to acquire something that does not belong to you, you had better abandon the idea, because it will not pay off. Be vigilant and careful.

Meaning in Situations

New attempts to overcome past failures. Most likely, you suspect that you have become the victim of a fraud. Or perhaps you feel uneasy about your own recent dishonest behavior. You feel like dropping everything and running as far away as possible. But do not give up so quickly. Perhaps you need to listen to your intuition and show agility and diplomacy — then you may well achieve your goal with ease. You have devised a brilliant plan of action, but be prepared for it to work out not quite the way you intended. Sometimes this card indicates that you could genuinely be robbed, so be careful. Do not tell others about your plans and needs — your ill-wishers may use them against you.

Theft, losses, disappearance. Surveillance, gathering of information. The need to take what is yours from the situation (to get your way, but not directly — better by roundabout paths). An encounter with dishonesty, or dishonest behavior of your own.

Work

Robbery (either of you, or by you, depending on the essence of the question). Money laundering, shady companies. There is money (provided, of course, it does not mean you being robbed): opportunities arise to earn it, obtain it, steal it.

Health

A hidden course of illness, undetected diseases. Difficulty establishing a diagnosis. If the question concerns a change in condition, it means recovery in spite of the circumstances.

Relationships

Straying on the side. A double life. Secret meetings, not necessarily intimate: for example, negotiations kept secret from partners. In the spread positions "thoughts" and "motives" it can warn that you are being watched.

Personality Type

Cunning, with a sense of humor. Lies with an honest face (and is capable of it) — you need to be careful with them.

Advice and Warning

Advises quietly going about your business. Warns to beware of theft, surveillance, and secret enemies.

Yes or No

"No." What you need will not go anywhere if you act covertly.

Reversed Meaning

If misfortune has struck and you have been robbed, rest assured: the thief will be caught and the stolen items will most likely be returned to you. If someone has wronged you, they will apologize very soon. If you have received critical remarks, now is exactly the right time to listen to them, because they contain constructive suggestions. If something has been taken from you dishonestly, it will all be returned to you very soon.

Pointless concealment of one's actions. The secret becomes known: tracking, surveillance, cunning, and deception come to light.

Detection and exposure of theft, document violations, and intrigues.

Reversed Meaning: Health

A favorable card. Discovery of an illness, a correct diagnosis.

Infidelity becomes visible. Inability to keep hiding a secret affair.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Exposed, caught red-handed.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning
