Seven of Swords Upright
You are fleeing from something— a boring task, consequences for an unethical action, or perhaps societal conventions— and feeling good about it. While it’s likely no malice is intended, this could catch up with you in the long run. It’s natural to want to push boundaries and to be impulsive every so often, but make sure you’re able to withstand the consequences if things don’t work out in your favor.
Seven of Swords Reversed
The Seven of Swords upright is about tricking others; in reverse it can refer to tricking yourself. Perhaps you’ve convinced yourself that you have everything under control when you really need help, or impostor syndrome has tricked you into thinking you don’t deserve to be where you are. Otherwise, the Seven of Swords in reverse can refer to owning up to unethical actions. The consequences might not be fun, but you’ll feel better in the long run.
