Seven of Swords Tarot Card Meaning
Minor Arcana, suit of Swords
strategy, stealth, evasion, going it alone
The card
A man tiptoes away from a camp of tents with five swords in his arms, glancing back over his shoulder at the two he has left planted in the ground. He is clever and quick, but he is also slipping away from something. The card asks you to look honestly at any shortcut or secret, your own or someone else's, and at what might be left behind.
Upright meaning
Strategy, stealth or getting away with something; act cleverly, but watch your honesty.
Reversed meaning
A deception is exposed, or a conscience nudges you to come clean.
