Seven of Swords

Seven of Swords

Cunning, strategy, and hidden motives

Do not charge head on. Make a plan B. Sometimes a quiet exit beats an honorable defeat.

A direct clash will not work. The Seven of Swords suggests moving sideways, using wit instead of force. It is the card of diplomacy and cunning.

Introduction

The Seven of Swords is the trickster card. Its meaning is unconventional solutions, clever tactics, and at times outright deceit.

It says the rules can be bent or bypassed to reach the goal. But be careful: the line between strategy and betrayal is thin.

TacticPlanTheftLone wolfAdaptation

Love and relationships

Hidden motives. Someone leaves things unsaid. A relationship kept secret. Diplomacy instead of argument.

Career and work

Office intrigue. A clever approach to a task. Working alone. Watching competitors.

Money and finances

Clever schemes. Tax avoidance or optimization. Risky maneuvers.

Spiritual path

The lone path. Hidden knowledge. Studying forbidden topics. Stealing fire from the gods.

Conclusion

The Seven of Swords advises: think with your head. Do not be predictable. But remember, every trick has a price, and one day you may have to pay it.

I am flexible and inventive. I find a way through any situation.
