Seven of Swords

The Seven of Swords represents deception, sneakiness, and untruth.

Upright position meaning

Pulling the Seven of Swords upright means that there is deception, sneakiness, and untruth happening somewhere in your life, either by you or someone else you know. There may have been an instance where you or someone you know did something that was perhaps out of character, or required sneakiness. But, now there is a danger of the secret becoming known. It's time to face the consequences of that deception.

Reversed position meaning

Pulling the Seven of Swords reversed may mean one of two things. It may mean that the tactics you've been using to get through life are no longer working, like if you've been lying or using deception to get the things you want. However, this card pulled reversed may also mean a breakthrough of some sort. You or someone you know is about to confess something they've been hiding. The road to reparations is near, and this confession is the first step on that road. You must look at the context to decide which meaning applies.

Advice meaning

The Seven of Swords is asking you to stop using deception in your life, because you will face the consequences, whatever they may be.
