Seven of Swords

Meaning for Seven of Swords

Traditional Seven of Swords warns of cunning, evasion, and potential deceit. In a Yes/No spread, it leans toward No because the card cautions against taking actions that involve stealth or bending the truth. The imagery shows a lone figure slipping away with five swords while two stand behind in the ground, with distant tents, a river, and hills under a clear sky—signs that success comes from caution and honesty, not reckless advantage. Ethical considerations and timing matter more than boldness.

In love, Seven of Swords advises honesty over sly games. It may warn of secret plans, jealousy, or a partner withholding truth. The card urges clear communication, boundaries, and careful trust.
