What does 7 swords mean. On a deeper level. General interpretation of the card

Other names for the Seven of Swords tarot card: Spades, Leaves, Shields, Spears, Guilt, Vini


The Seven of Swords shows the reverse side of the Magician, with which it is related by the golden background of both cards. The power of knowledge, a clear, sharp mind turn here into cunning and intrigue, meanness and deceit. In a milder form, this can be an evil tongue, intellectual arrogance, or the position of "my hut is on the edge" - unwillingness to notice some things, the habit of squirming, evading, spoofing, etc. At the same time, it is not clear who is deceiving whom here, who we are - a swindler or a victim. But most often it turns out that we are harming ourselves here.

Work and business

We may be deceived, or we ourselves may be deceived; perhaps we are trying to achieve something in a dishonest, fraudulent way. In the course are such dubious means as hypocrisy, "stand", passing out of turn and other tricks of little respect. If this card falls out in response to a question about work, of course, you need to be on the alert, but the main thing is to take a closer look at how we behave ourselves so as not to fall victim to our own intrigues. At the event-personal level, the card symbolizes a piper, either evading responsibility in every possible way, or frankly cheating.

Consciousness

At the level of consciousness, it shows that we stubbornly refuse to admit the obvious and avoid discussions on these topics. And this is dishonest, first of all, in relation to ourselves: in this way we close the path to knowing the truth, and in especially difficult cases we devote our lives to a cause that is obviously false. Therefore, here this card should be taken as a serious warning and advice not to elevate your views to the absolute, to question them more often.

Relationships and love

Here, the spectrum of this card is very wide: from petty nasty things, such as gloating and hypocrisy, to low lies, malice, meanness and betrayal. On the other hand, it may indicate a lack of openness in a relationship, when we avoid direct conversations with a partner or dodge an important decision.

inner meaning

This is a card of hope and renewed self-confidence. Looks like the worst is over. If your confidence and your plans are based on experience and knowledge of the situation, then you can still succeed. Beware of overconfidence and don't try to bluff. Your experience has taught you what you need to know, and your strength will carry you through the hardships. No need to rush forward. Don't talk too much about what you need or what you plan to do; your talkativeness will play into the hands of your enemies.

Futility

Moon in Aquarius

20°—30° Aquarius

Original title: The Lord of Fickle Efforts Initial composition in the Golden Dawn system: two hands are stretched out from the clouds to the right and left, each of which holds three swords, similar to the daggers of Air - the tools of the Zealot Adept Minor. The third hand, extended from below, holds one central sword. All swords touch each other with their points; the central sword is unable to finally separate the others. A rose with five petals blooms on the blade of the central sword

Color of Netzach according to the Prince's scale: bright yellowish green
Colors of the Moon on four scales: crimson (ultraviolet); deep yellow flecked with silvery white; light translucent pinkish brown; stone color
Colors of Aquarius on four scales: violet; sky blue; bluish-lilac; white with a slight tinge of purple
Formula: Seven (Netzach) + Swords (Yetzira) + Moon in Aquarius = VAIT.

As a rule, it is not easy for me to interpret the Seven of Swords in a layout. It would seem that the card of the suit of Swords, which landed in the sphere of Netzach, should be simply terrible. However, some of the factors that make up the formula of this card relieve it of some of the shortcomings that are characteristic of Sevens as a whole. For example, the very name of the seventh Sephira is Victory. It may seem that this is a very weak excuse, but the Swords really respond to the word "victory" with a joyful ringing. In addition, the Moon in Aquarius brings an element of volatility and opens up opportunities for compromise. This card, Crowley notes, “is like a rheumatic boxer who retired from the ring a long time ago, but is now trying to 'get back into the sport.'” But let's not forget that fortune sometimes smiles on oldies too.

Frieda Harris depicted on this map the battle of six planets against the Sun. Take a closer look at the swords. The hilts of the six swords, arranged in a crescent at the top of the card, are adorned with the symbols of the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Saturn (from left to right). The central sword is the Sun itself, which was in the minority and wounded by the blows of opponents. The composition as a whole, with all the orderly clarity and rigor, hints that the time has come to sit down at the negotiating table. But will the parties come to an agreement? I don't think so.

Description of the lasso

Do you recognize this person? In each of us, except for the most innocent and sincere, there is a politician. lurking somewhere in our mind. In fact, the mind is the politician. It is in his very nature to plan, scheme, and try to manipulate situations and people to get what he desires. Here the mind is represented by a snake covered in clouds and "speaking with a forked tongue." But the most important thing to understand in this card is that both faces are false. The sweet, innocent "trust me" face is a mask, and the evil, venomous "I'll do what I want with you" is also a mask. Politicians don't have real faces. The whole game is a lie.

Direct position

Take a look at yourself and see if you're playing this game. What you see may hurt you, but it's not as painful as continuing to play. Ultimately, it doesn't serve anyone's interest but yours. Everything that you can achieve in this way will crumble to dust in your hands.

The meaning of the card

Anyone who can be a good pretender, a hypocrite, will become your leader in politics, will become your priest in religion. All he wants is hypocrisy, all he wants is cunning, all he wants is a facade to hide behind. Your politicians live a double life, your priests live a double life - one from the front, the other from the back door. And life from the back door is theirs real life. Those front smiles are just fake, those faces that look so innocent are just masks. If you want to see the reality of a politician, you need to see through the back door. There he will appear before you in all his nakedness, such as he is. And the same thing happens with the priest. These two types of insidious people rule over humanity. They realize very quickly that if you want to dominate mankind, make him weak, make him feel guilty, make him feel unworthy, take away all his glory, humiliate him. And they invent such subtle ways of humiliation that you don't even notice them; They let you humiliate yourself, destroy yourself. They have taught you the slow suicide method. (Osho)

Do not dig a hole for another, you will fall into it yourself.

This is a card of cunning designs. The Minor Arcana Tarot card Seven of Swords means new well-thought-out plans, built strategies, thinking over tactics, calculating options. In this article, we will look at the description and meaning in the relationship of a direct and inverted card, interpretation and combination with other cards in layouts for love, health, career and work.

The Seven of Swords in all its meanings is connected with the subtle depths of the human psyche.

Map Description

The map shows a temporarily sprawling tent city. The man hesitantly carries five swords and looks back at two more, which he did not take, apparently forgotten by him due to absent-mindedness. Or maybe he just couldn't take with him all the weapons he found in the enemy camp. And, apparently, no one in the tents even realized what was happening.

There is an opinion that the card depicts a person habitually trying to find a way out of a difficult situation with the help of cunning, to avoid conflict. But now, alas, the tried and tested method does not help him well: the enemies have two swords left, and even those that he was able to carry away cut his hands. The tents symbolize instability: in the realm of the unknown, consciousness feels like a thief sneaking up to the enemy - it is able to reject and lose all its past achievements.

According to one version, those five swords that the character carries on the map are the weapons that were taken away on the Five of Swords Arcana, after which he had to retreat for some time (Six of Swords), but now he returned and took his own.

General meaning of the Seven of Swords card

This Arcana symbolizes finding a non-standard way out of a difficult situation, when we need to act not on the forehead, avoid conflict and look for alternative ways. Seven of Tarot Swords, the meaning of the card indicates ingenuity, logic and resourceful "creative" solutions, as well as the presence of strategy and tactics.

This Arcana is not about cheating in its purest form, but about what is called "cheating" from English cheater or cheat(tricks, trick). Indeed, the strategy of the Seven of Swords is sometimes simply necessary in order to prevent serious conflicts and at the same time to win in this or that situation. Of course, it is about the ability to negotiate as well.

However, the Seven of Swords Tarot always speaks of cunning and little lies with good intentions. However, the card can only mean that we have to solve problems for the speed of thinking and the sharpness of the mind. One of the traditional meanings of this card is perseverance, coupled with a developed intellect, which helps to find solutions even in the most difficult situations.

The Seven of Swords can cause a lot of negativity for some and is a symbol of Fortune and opportunities to find a small loophole in life for others. It can simplify problem solving, optimize losses to a minimum in an attempt to achieve its goals.

This card patronizes scouts, secret agents and everyone whose activities are related to secrecy and the need to hide something. Falling out to such people in a scenario, she speaks of the success of their enterprise, of skill and experience, the ability to act cunningly, smartly, to avoid danger and not enter into direct confrontation and conflict.

The Seven of Swords embodies dexterity and diplomacy, the ability to please and tact, the ability to leave in English at any time and avoid an open fight. Using this property, you can achieve success in many cases. In the worst case, deeds done by the Seven of Swords can end in ostracism and isolation if you have to answer for your actions.

From whichever side we look at this map, it is important to take into account those around us. A negative environment will speak of risk and self-confidence, warning that you need to be more careful and prudent. A positive card environment will mean good luck and pleasant surprises: when we can suddenly find ourselves in right time and in the right place, everything develops as if by itself and our actions acquire simply cosmic efficiency.

The Seven of Swords in some cases can raise a hidden issue that a person avoids solving, especially if the environment speaks of tension and stress. According to this card, a person is inclined to deceive and be deceived, however, he does not just run away from problems, but tries not to reach a conflict, maneuvering in a web of negotiations and even manipulations. He tends to hide the truth from others, which, of course, prevents him from touching the truth even for himself.

No matter how wonderful the path of the Seven of Swords may seem to some, life sooner or later gives other tasks where it is required to show completely different qualities. Therefore, the card may indicate that we have played trickster so much that we have already forgotten about our true face and essence.

This can concern both personal relationships and obligations once assumed (one of the typical meanings is “treason”), as well as business, labor relations, and so on (tricks, cunning and loss of trust).

In the everyday sense, the Seven of Swords can indicate theft, surrounded by negative cards - theft of something or a collision with blackmail. This is a significator of fakes of all kinds - money, love, documents, all sorts of secret boxes and pockets, hidden stash, boxes with a double bottom, hidden cameras and voice recorders, and password-protected smartphones and laptops in three layers also pass through this map.

Description of personality

According to the Seven of Swords, we hatch quite dangerous thoughts and plans. Our theories and concepts depend on the mood, and the mood is often quite cowardly - we would gladly dodge something or cheat. Appearing in the layout, this card indicates that now we simply do not have enough strength to achieve the goal or fulfill the promise, and therefore tricks, evasions and attempts to get out of the situation begin.

Positive features

A person of the Seven of Swords is not necessarily an inveterate liar. He appreciates intellectual freedom and diversity - but are there many of them in everyday life, if you look at it this way? He just makes reality a little more interesting - both for himself and for others. He enjoys mind games, riddles, charades and subtle hints, cross-references and disturbing coincidences.

How far it will go is another question. The Seven of Swords is different. Let's imagine a game of poker: a skillful bluff is not meanness and deceit, but marked cards are.

The person designated in the layout by the Seven of Swords is always striving for something, making an attempt to turn something around, relying on something. He has tenacity, intelligence and a winning strategy. What will lead to what, the surrounding cards can tell.

He has a good understanding of the human psyche with all its weaknesses and is inclined to explain everything subtle and irrational with the help of logic, sometimes somewhat incorrectly. A person has a developed and sharp intellect, quite successfully bypassing moral restrictions (this is called unscrupulousness).

Negative Traits

He is unreliable. Sometimes it is assumed that he is a coward, but this can be argued. Man of the Seven of Swords classical form is a spy, a double agent, a person who sells other people's secrets. In order to, say, wander through fake documents, you need your own, specific courage, just not the one with which they rush hand to hand.

This is a map of blackmailers, thieves, scouts, kidnappers, scammers, hoaxers and paparazzi. A typical representative of the card is a master of hanging noodles on his ears and snooping along slippery paths, mainly to evade retribution.

Questions from visitors and answers from experts:

On a deeper level

Withdrawal into daydreaming and melancholy detachment from practical life. The flight of thought into transcendental spheres. The mind gives itself to the service of the soul and accepts its aspirations, hopes and illusions: it breaks away from reality and experiences surprise and confusion in front of those of its properties that it had not even suspected before.

The human imagination can draw beautiful worlds- however, she is not able to bring these worlds to life, therefore the Seven of Swords is called "Futility". What is created by thought is ephemeral, and the mind doubts the own reality of its ideas.

Seven is the most perfect of numbers. At its stage, the desire for perfection is manifested, therefore, actions at the level of the Seven of Swords are distinguished by sophistication, subtlety, although sometimes they turn out to be superfluous. Air builds too complex schemes on the way to victory, often far-fetched. If we talk about art, then this is the development of skills and abilities. Here, metaphysical forces are realized as an act of creativity at the level of subtle planes.

Venus, Neptune, Uranus sound distinctly in the theme of the Seven of Swords. Neptune gives illusions. It pushes towards the fact that the desired is perceived as valid, and in fact the Path to the intended Goal turns out to be more difficult and longer. At the same time, this card combines the idealism of Aquarius and the half-heartedness of Libra. The partial achievement of what was planned also implies the presence of a certain amount of unachieved. But the Seven is not as maximalistic as the Three or Five, because it is able to be satisfied with a partial result.

Some tarologists believe that the Seven of Swords shows the reverse side of the Magician, with which she is related by the golden background of both cards. The power of knowledge, a clear, sharp mind turn here into dangerous thoughts and unscrupulousness, hidden plans and a fraudulent game, cunning and intrigue, meanness and deceit, theft and swindle.

In a milder form, it can be a prank, an evil tongue, intellectual arrogance or unwillingness to notice some things, the habit of playing around, evading, spoofing, etc. At the same time, it is not clear who is deceiving whom here, who is a swindler, and who is a victim. But most often it turns out that we are harming ourselves here. Deciding on this, a person sacrifices his conscience - this is the road to nowhere. Resourcefulness in overcoming difficulties, a way out of a predicament through bluffing and lying.

The goals are very questionable, but in any case, the main thing is not to go too far. Manipulation, slipping away from duties with fox cunning. Dodges and excuses, tricks and tricks to achieve the goal. Skillful actions, quite appropriate to the situation, for the benefit of themselves. Often this benefit is to find a safe haven, a place of comfort and meditative pastime and hide there, fooling everyone. We are talking about dubious and invisible goals and intentions, about an attempt to slip away, evade unpleasant situations, contradictions, duties.

And the basis for this are fears and negative expectations, depression. The only problem is that the conscious and subconscious have exchanged places. Gloomy subconscious ideas take over consciousness and prevent clear success. Severe anxiety prevails, although in reality everything is going quite normally.

These destructive thoughts should not be taken seriously. Reality differs significantly from its perception on this moment. Fear has nothing to do with her. This is a map of a critical approach to thinking itself - you need to wake up and see what is really happening.

In this situation, it is important to determine the guidelines of thought, remembering your previous goals: this will give support and more confident movement in the future. An appeal to the past can become a "remembrance of the future", and the secrets of the depths of the soul - the heights of thought, if, of course, they do not remain secrets.

In the best case, the Seven of Swords pass through inner knowledge, insight, finding obvious solutions to complex issues, the ability to read the signs of fate; systematic development of inner perception. That is why there are such positive interpretations of this card as a strong inner voice, great knowledge of esotericism, understanding and acceptance of symbols, finding the spiritual meaning of life.

The third decade of Aquarius is ruled by the Moon and Neptune, the planets of Faith and mystics, symbolizing the flight of thought into the transcendental spheres of utopia. In this decade, the mind gives itself to the service of the soul and accepts its aspirations, hopes and illusions. He breaks away from reality and is surprised and confused in front of those of his properties, which he had not even suspected before. This decade is characterized by a retreat into dreams and a melancholic detachment from a sober assessment of life.

Human fantasy can draw beautiful worlds - but it is not able to bring these worlds to life, therefore this decade is called - "Futility". What is created by thought is ephemeral, and the mind doubts the own reality of its ideas. The essence of this decade reflects the saying that laziness is the engine of progress, and the Aquarius image of Ivanushka the Fool, who miraculously became the king - but only because he, without doing anything extra, without hesitation, went to the intended goal. Venus, Neptune, Uranus sound distinctly in the theme of the Seven of Swords. Therefore, this card also has the meaning of esotericism and verbal demiurgy (words that direct the will, one of the meanings of the “Oath” card).

The meaning of the Seven of Swords in various layouts

For career and work

This is a map of planning and maneuvers. The surrounding cards will tell you what will come of it. There is an opinion that the plan for the Seven of Swords is always unsuccessful, but this is a clear exaggeration. The card may well be like a shiny special operations behind enemy lines, about which legends will circulate for a long time to come. This is energy aimed at creating plans, projects. The Seven of Swords can also signify the overcoming of difficulties, the victory over the routine by scrupulous mastery of it, this is success after a long feverish activity.

Getting strength, instructions, smart tips on how to cope and get through all the difficulties. New attempts to overcome old obstacles this time can be successful if confidence and plans are based on knowledge of the situation and experience has already taught what needs to be known.

All kinds of research for projects and diplomas go through this card, but, in fairness, it should be noted - manipulation of the results for one's own benefit, as well as plagiarism. The best words that fit the Seven of Swords in a negative environment are dark dealings, dubious deals. But it can also be just an unconventional approach to solving some issue.

The card often falls to a person who feels guilty about a particular situation in front of certain people, because he let them down, or avoids his superiors because he neglects his duties. She talks about cunning and manipulative behavior, grandiose deception, misleading others and slipping away, distorting the real state of affairs, weaving intrigues. Unforeseen circumstances, obstacles, interference.

If we talk about art, then the Seven of Swords symbolizes the development of skills and abilities. Its metaphysical forces are realized as an act of creativity at the level of quite subtle planes. This is energy aimed at creating plans, projects.

The card can also mean overcoming difficulties, defeating the routine by scrupulously mastering it, this is success after a long feverish activity.

At the same time, it is a card of surveillance, espionage and betrayal. These things can happen in a wide variety of organizations. Even if the questioner is not an agent 007, copying materials from other people's flash drives and winding overheard telephone conversations on his mustache can be a familiar activity for him.

For finance and property

Some interpreters admit that this card portends financial success, so it makes sense to carefully study the other cards in the layout. The desire to appropriate something someone else's, to make a profit by deceit and tricks. Unreliable financial offers. The promised profit is an empty phrase, but trouble is likely. Scams leading to losses.

For love and relationships

Seven of Tarot Swords, the meaning in relationships is deceit and lies, or at least insincerity. Other cards may suggest an exact interpretation. This card loves what can be called a fake idyll - partners pretend that everything is fine, although at least one of them knows perfectly well that everything is not at all what it seems and leads the other around the finger.

The Seven of Swords in relationships is often associated with deceit and betrayal.

In love - a serious deceit, fooling a partner or avoiding an open display of feelings. However, not everything is always so scary. “I won’t take it by force - I’ll take it by cunning!” in this case, you can change it by imagining a not particularly beautiful Vasilisa or a not particularly beautiful knight without a white horse, who firmly know that no one will fall in love with them at first sight.

Techniques, strategies and tricks are being developed so that the other side is imbued and believes that in front of her is "the most charming and attractive." (By the way, the maneuvers from the film of the same name are also a pure Seven of Swords: there are zero feelings, but falling in love with the chosen object is equated to a combat mission, and each of the naive maneuvers is coordinated in the “general staff”).

In a more formidable version, this is Valmont from Dangerous Liaisons. This is an experienced intriguer and a big lover of fooling his head, "grated kalach", cunning and reckless. He went through fire, water and copper pipes and is ready for any test. His genre is excitement, insincerity, play, seduction, subtle tricks and escape from responsibility. This person always heads to slip away, get out of the game. A traitor and manipulator, deftly deceiving other people's expectations. On the sly, he plans pranks and insidious intrigues, not being honest and frank in his feelings and thoughts. But sometimes he crosses the line and becomes defenseless against the negative encroachments of others.

The partner described by the Seven of Swords can be very sophisticated in love games in all their stages. Pick up here is usually mastered to perfection, it is a master (or craftswoman) to seduce, moreover, without any sincere feelings on her part. This is art for art's sake, strategy for strategy's sake, and concrete objects are always in the position of extras here, even if it seems to them that they are finally invited to the most leading role.

This person knows perfectly well what to write in ambiguous messages, with what expression to look into the eyes, what and how to do when it comes to intimacy, and most importantly, at what moment to melt like morning fog. And do not underestimate him, thinking that his skill is limited solely to flirting and bed frills - he finds “G-points” in his heart no less confidently.

Sometimes the Seven of Swords is followed by surveillance of the object, breaking into his mobile phone and e-mail, secretly taken photographs and the like. Theft, embezzlement or planting of any personal items, for example, for the purpose of compromising evidence, is also included here. One of the meanings of the card is "immodest peeping." It can be both an erotic voyeur and a businesslike paparazzi.

Personally, a person of the Seven of Swords does not like to lose his freedom and take responsibility for anything and anyone. Emotional attachments that threaten personal independence scare this nature. Sometimes this card describes the desire for loneliness.

For the state of health

Melancholy.

Show ingenuity and diplomacy, do not go into conflict, do not try to act ahead in resolving issues, but use workarounds, disguising your intentions. Strategically adjusted behavior, no unnecessary movements. Caution will lead to what the heart desires.

Now is not the time to force things, and also to discover your true intentions, it is better to walk around and around. You can use all available dexterity and all known tricks. Sometimes it's advice to get out of the game, not to get involved at all. It is also advice to carefully cover your tracks, to make sure that persecution is impossible and inquiries will lead nowhere. This is important when you have to do something that is incompatible with morality, but for the benefit of yourself or other people.

Classic advice from the Seven of Swords: keep quiet. We must beware of excessive self-confidence, otherwise everything will collapse. No need to rush forward too much and talk about your plans.

The card says that you do not need to talk about what you plan to do - talkativeness will not be at hand. Avoid questionable companions. And finally, beware of fraud and people who manipulate others in their own interests.

Reversed Card Meaning

The Seven of Swords inverted indicates the ability to move away from a conflict with a dangerous opponent. Although not everything is completely legal, there is nothing to be afraid of. Suspicions of theft and dishonesty can be dropped.

In an inverted position, the card symbolizes advice, instructions, remarks, reproaches, reprimands, corrections, that is, what does not allow cheating and deviating from the true path. At the same time, the inverted Seven of Swords can also indicate a lack of energy to achieve what was planned (Libra), as well as non-recognition by others (Aquarius).

In addition, this card means disarmament, including psychological - to be weak, helpless, incomplete. For example, a person, having barely reached a certain point, instead of moving on, being afraid of trials and abandoning an already close goal, runs away.

One interesting interpretation is that the reversed Seven of Swords indicates the presence of a rejected or unsuitable person. This value should be taken into account if the alignment is done on relationships, as well as the value of exposing, tearing off masks, exposing true intentions.

Traditional reversed meaning of the card: slander, plans that can collapse, excessive self-confidence leading to instability in business, annoyance. Questionable advice received from someone. Sometimes the card says that a person has penetrated into a secret that he does not need, has become an extra witness, stuck his nose into something that it would be better to stay away from.

At the same time, there is an opinion that the inverted Seven of Swords speaks of cautious actions and a balanced approach to business. Before starting intrigues and cunning plans, a person ponders whether the game is worth the candle.

Combined with other cards

How the Seven of Swords is interpreted in combination with other cards:

  • With the Hermit - loneliness, removal from society;
  • With the Hanged Man - loss of property or position;
  • With the Moon - something hidden in a person, unconscious, suppressed;
  • With the Sun, with the World - acquisition and good luck;
  • With the Ten of Wands - making commitments that you wanted to evade;
  • With the Two of Swords - an escape from the truth;
  • With the Five of Swords - dishonor, separation from others, perhaps due to the exposure of a lie;
  • With the Six of Cups - openness and kindness;
  • With the Nine of Pentacles - the desire to rely on oneself, to act at one's own discretion;
  • With Justice - there is a great risk of running into exposure and incurring punishment, it will not be possible to hide maneuvers;
  • With the Devil, the outcome is more favorable - it is possible to cover up the traces. But still, this should not be considered as a guarantee of security.
  • With the Seven of Pentacles - profit;
  • With an inverted Ace of Swords - childbirth (from an old interpreter).

The motto of the Seven of Swords is "normal heroes always go around". This card describes an attempt to find a way out of a difficult situation with the help of some tricks and machinations (rather than an open struggle), to avoid conflict. She points to the need to show cunning, to think with your head, to go for strategic evasions. Maybe this is not the best behavior, but sometimes it is necessary in life, and we all understand this as a child. Well, you can’t tell your parents the WHOLE truth, really! J Somewhere it is necessary to use the Seven of Swords, so that the wolves are fed, the sheep are safe, and the shepherd is on the honor roll.

The Seven of Swords is unclean, it always raises the question of the correctness of actions and the plausibility of intentions. At the same time, this card may simply indicate that we are to be tested for the speed and effectiveness of thinking and considerations. One of the ancient meanings, which has not lost its relevance at all, is perseverance, intelligence and perseverance in a difficult situation.

The amazing property of all Tarot Sevens is their amazing fluidity and "adjustment" to the individual characteristics of a person. So, there are people who can not stand the Seven of Pentacles, and those who consider it a very good card. The Seven of Cups for one person means not at all what it means for another. The same thing happens with the Seven of Swords. For some, it may well be the most disliked card in the deck, indicating outrageous treachery and portending the most unpleasant things.

And for some, it is like a small luck, a valuable opportunity to get your feet out of a difficult situation, let in a little dust, a little fog and cover your tracks with a habitual movement. Seven of Swords - a card of scouts, "their patron and soul." For them, her loss is a professional holiday. It describes the ability to act by cunning, covertly, the ability to escape from danger, not to conflict openly with the enemy. The only question is how big the deception is, what it generally concerns and what it is fraught with (and this is usually shown by other cards).

This is a card of insincerity and dexterity, diplomacy and tact "on your mind." It is also an escape card, a way out of a situation, not a fight (unlike the Five of Swords). It's not always bad. You just need to act subtly and not overdo it. In the worst case, deeds committed by the Seven of Swords can end in ostracism and isolation if you have to answer for your actions.

Interestingly, the literature also does not contain unambiguous interpretations. Some highly respected tarologists scream that this is just a giant red warning sign and everything is terrible. Others, no less venerable, position hope as a key value, declaring that, in general, the Seven of Swords good map renewed confidence, the worst is behind, and new attempts to overcome previous failures will be successful this time, because the person has grown wiser and gained experience - new plans, perseverance, patience, hope, faith ... Still others hold some other views. It remains to observe and draw your own conclusions.

Perhaps it can be argued that in a negative card environment there is a risk that overconfidence in the correctness of one's concepts will lead to collapse. It can also mean the need to be on the lookout, because someone is not going to keep promises or tries to cheat. In a favorable environment for the Seven of Swords, it happens that real miracles happen. A person is faced with pleasant surprises, which he did not count on at all and which help to solve the problem on the verge of fantasy (for example, a random fellow traveler, who turned out to be an official of the highest rank, scribbled such a piece of paper out of the kindness of his soul that it was impossible to dream ).

There is the Seven of Cups is a card of dreams and fantasies, then the Seven of Swords is a card of intentions. And sometimes - intent ... or conjecture ... or fiction. Making new plans in solitude, thinking, finding a solution, efforts caused by uncertainty also follow this map. Critical reflection on one's actions, calculation of decisive steps ... a sort of "military council in Fili". With the Devil, of course, unethical behavior, dishonest tricks, something to be ashamed of if it comes out.

The Seven of Swords can indicate an issue that the person is avoiding, especially if there are other cards in the spread that indicate stress. He does not like what is happening, it is difficult to accept it, and he somehow deceives himself and others. He is a little more agile than just an ostrich hiding his head in the sand (Two of Swords), but is also inclined to take the path of least resistance. It is hiding secrets and avoiding responsibility.

Life is life - and it is impossible to travel endlessly on a smooth and paved road: at some point we inevitably turn off. The Seven of Swords may point to the fact that we have already "turned to the side" and deviated from the previous guidelines. This can apply to both personal relationships and obligations once assumed (hence one of the typical meanings is “treason”), as well as business, labor relations, and so on (hence “tricks, tricks” and loss of trust).

In the everyday sense, the card may indicate theft, surrounded by negative cards - theft of something or a collision with blackmail. This is the significator of all kinds of fakes - money, love, documents. All sorts of secret drawers and pockets, hidden stash, boxes with a double bottom, hidden cameras and voice recorders, and three layers of "password-protected" smartphones and laptops also pass through this map.

"Great maneuvers". According to the Seven of Swords, we hatch quite dangerous thoughts and plans. Our theories and concepts depend on the mood, and the mood is often rather cowardly - we would gladly dodge something or cheat. Appearing in the layout, this card indicates that now we simply do not have enough strength to achieve the goal or fulfill the promise, and therefore tricks, evasions and attempts to get out of the situation begin.

A person of the Seven of Swords is not necessarily an inveterate liar. He appreciates intellectual freedom and diversity - and how many of them in everyday life, if you look at it this way? He just makes reality a little more interesting - both for himself and for others. He enjoys mind games, riddles, charades and subtle hints, cross-references and disturbing coincidences. How far it will go is another question. The Seven of Swords is different. Let's imagine a game of poker: a skillful bluff is not meanness and deceit, but marked cards are.

The person designated in the layout by the Seven of Swords is always striving for something, making an attempt to turn something around, relying on something. He has tenacity, intelligence and a winning strategy. What will lead to what, the surrounding cards can tell. A person of the Seven of Swords has a developed and sharp intellect, quite successfully bypassing moral restrictions (this is called unscrupulousness).

He is unreliable. Sometimes it is assumed that he is a coward, but this can be argued. The Seven of Swords in its classic form is a spy, a double agent, a person who sells other people's secrets. In order to, say, wander through forged documents, you need your own, specific courage, just not the one with which they rush hand to hand. This is a map of blackmailers, thieves, scouts, kidnappers, scammers, hoaxers and paparazzi.

It happens that this is a card of revenge, the desire to win back, to receive compensation. According to one version, those five swords that the character takes away on the map (two remain on the ground) are the weapons that were taken away on the Five of Swords Arcana, after which he had to retreat for some time (Six of Swords), but now come back and take his own. This is a grated kalach who has gone through "Crimea and Rome", a master of hanging noodles on his ears and snooping along slippery paths, mainly to evade retribution.

The Seven of Swords has a good understanding of the human psyche with all its weaknesses and tends to explain everything subtle and irrational with the help of logic (sometimes a little nervously).

Withdrawal into dreams (and often negative expectations) and melancholic detachment from a sober assessment of practical life. The flight of thought into the transcendent spheres of utopia. The mind gives itself to the service of the soul and accepts its aspirations, hopes and illusions: it breaks away from reality and experiences surprise and confusion in front of those of its properties that it had not even suspected before. The human imagination can draw beautiful worlds - but it is not able to bring these worlds to life, therefore this card is called "Futility". What is created by thought is ephemeral, and the mind doubts the own reality of its ideas.

Seven is the most perfect of numbers. At its stage, the desire for perfection is manifested, therefore, actions at the level of the Seven of Swords are distinguished by sophistication, subtlety, although sometimes excessive. Air builds too complex schemes on the way to victory, often far-fetched. If we talk about art, then this is the development of skills and abilities. Here, metaphysical forces are realized as an act of creativity at the level of subtle planes.

Venus, Neptune, Uranus sound distinctly in the theme of the Seven of Swords. Neptune gives the Seven of Swords illusions. It pushes towards the fact that the desired is perceived as valid, and in fact the Path to the intended Goal turns out to be more difficult and longer. At the same time, this card combines the idealism of Aquarius and the half-heartedness of Libra. (Partial achievement of what was conceived also implies the presence of a certain amount of unachieved.) But the Seven is not as maximalistic as the Three or Five, therefore it is able to be satisfied with a partial result.

Some authors believe that the Seven of Swords shows the reverse side of the Magician, with which she is related by the golden background of both cards. The power of knowledge, a clear, sharp mind turn here into dangerous thoughts and unscrupulousness, hidden plans and a fraudulent game, cunning and intrigue, meanness and deceit, theft and swindle. In a milder form, it can be a prank, an evil tongue, intellectual arrogance, or the position of "my hut is on the edge" - unwillingness to notice some things, the habit of fidgeting, evading, shilling, etc. At the same time, it is not clear who is deceiving whom here, who is a swindler, and who is a victim. But most often it turns out that we are harming ourselves here.

Deciding on this, a person sacrifices his conscience - this is the road to nowhere. Resourcefulness in overcoming difficulties, getting out of a predicament by bluffing and lying ... in general, goals are very dubious, but in any case, the main thing is not to go too far. Manipulation, slipping away from duties with fox cunning. Dodges and excuses, tricks and tricks to achieve the goal. Skillful cunning actions, quite appropriate to the situation, to their advantage. Often this benefit is to find a safe haven, a place of comfort and meditative pastime, and lurk there, fooling everyone. We are talking about dubious and invisible goals and intentions, about an attempt to slip away, to evade unpleasant situations, contradictions, duties ...

And the basis for this are fears about existence and negative expectations (depression). The only problem is that the conscious and subconscious have exchanged places. Gloomy subconscious expectations take over consciousness and prevent clear success. Severe anxiety prevails, although in reality everything is going quite normally. These destructive thoughts should not be taken seriously. The reality differs significantly from its perception at the moment. Fear has nothing to do with her. This is a map of a critical approach to thinking itself - you need to wake up and see what is really happening.

The map shows a temporarily sprawling tent city. The man hesitantly carries five swords and looks back at two more, which he did not take, apparently forgotten by him due to absent-mindedness. Or maybe he just couldn't take with him all the weapons he found in the enemy camp. There is an opinion that the card depicts a person habitually trying to find a way out of a difficult situation with the help of cunning, to avoid conflict. But now, alas, the tried and tested method does not help him well: the “enemies” have two swords left, and even those that he could carry away cut his hands. The tents symbolize instability: in the sphere of the unknown, consciousness feels like a thief who has sneaked into the enemy - it is able to reject and lose all its past achievements.

In this situation, it is important to determine the guidelines of thought, remembering your previous goals: this will give support and more confident movement in the future. An appeal to the past can become a "remembrance of the future", and the secrets of the depths of the soul - future heights of thought: if, of course, they do not remain secrets. At best, internal knowledge, insight, finding obvious solutions to complex issues, the ability to read the signs of fate pass through this card; systematic development of inner perception. That is why there are such super-positive interpretations of this card as a strong inner voice, great knowledge of esotericism, understanding and acceptance of symbols, finding the spiritual meaning of life.

The third decade of Aquarius is ruled by the Moon and Neptune, the planets of Faith and mystics, symbolizing the flight of thought into the transcendental spheres of utopia. In this decade, the mind gives itself to the service of the soul and accepts its aspirations, hopes and illusions: it breaks away from reality and experiences surprise and confusion in front of those of its properties that it had not even suspected before. This decade is characterized by retreat into daydreaming and melancholic detachment from a sober assessment of practical life.

Human fantasy can draw beautiful worlds - but it is not able to bring these worlds to life, therefore this decade is called - "Futility". What is created by thought is ephemeral, and the mind doubts the own reality of its ideas. The essence of this decade reflects the saying that laziness is the engine of progress, and the Aquarius image of Ivanushka the Fool, who miraculously became the king - but only because he, without doing anything extra, without hesitation, went to the intended goal. Venus, Neptune, Uranus sound distinctly in the theme of the Seven of Swords. Therefore, this card also has the meaning of esotericism and verbal demiurgy (words that direct the will, one of the meanings of the “Oath” card).

Light and shadow (advice and caution)

Advice: I won’t take it by force - I’ll take it by cunning! Show ingenuity and diplomacy, do not go into conflict, do not try to act ahead in resolving issues, but use workarounds, disguising your intentions. Strategically adjusted behavior, no unnecessary movements. Caution, like an owl at one o'clock in the night, will lead to what the heart desires. Now is not the time to force things, and also to discover your true intentions, it is better to walk around and around. You can use all available dexterity and all known tricks. Sometimes it's advice to get out of the game, not to get involved at all. It is also advice to carefully cover your tracks, to make sure that persecution is impossible and inquiries will lead nowhere. This is important when you have to do something that is incompatible with morality, but for the benefit of yourself or other people.

Classic Seven of Swords warning: keep quiet. We must beware of excessive self-confidence, otherwise everything will collapse. No need to rush forward too much and talk about your plans. The card says that you do not need to talk about what you need or what you plan to do - talkativeness will not be at hand. It is also clearly not the time for lies, double play, tricks and deceit. "Don't dig a hole for another - you yourself will fall into it." WITH " palace coups"It makes sense to wait. Avoid questionable companions. And finally - beware of fraud and people manipulating others in their own interests.

In general, this is a map of planning and maneuvers. The surrounding cards will tell you what will come of it. There is an opinion that the plan for the Seven of Swords is always unsuccessful, but this is a clear exaggeration. This map may well be like a brilliant special operation behind enemy lines, which will be legendary for a long time to come. This is energy aimed at creating plans, projects. The card can also mean overcoming difficulties, defeating the routine by scrupulously mastering it, this is success after a long feverish activity.

Getting strength, instructions, smart tips on how to cope and get through all the difficulties. New attempts to overcome old obstacles this time can be successful if confidence and plans are based on knowledge of the situation and experience has already taught what needs to be known.

All kinds of research for projects and diplomas go through this map, but, in fairness, it should be noted - manipulation of the results for one's own benefit, as well as plagiarism.

The best words that fit this card in a negative environment are dark dealings, dubious deals. But it can also be just an unconventional approach to solving some issue.

The card often falls to a person who feels guilty in a particular situation to certain people because he let them down, or avoids his superiors because he neglects his duties. She talks about cunning and manipulative behavior, grandiose deception, misleading others and slipping away, distorting the real state of affairs, weaving intrigues.

If we talk about art, then the Seven of Swords symbolizes the development of skills and abilities. Its metaphysical forces are realized as an act of creativity at the level of quite subtle planes. This is energy aimed at creating plans, projects. The card can also mean overcoming difficulties, defeating the routine by scrupulously mastering it, this is success after a long feverish activity (trouble).

Unforeseen circumstances, obstacles, intrigues, interference.

This is a map of surveillance, espionage and betrayal. These things can happen in a wide variety of activities in a wide variety of organizations. Even if the questioner is not an agent 007, copying materials from other people's flash drives and winding overheard telephone conversations on his mustache can be a familiar activity for him.

Sometimes the card describes "the battle of one strong against many weak".

Some interpretations allow that this card portends financial success. The desire to appropriate something someone else's, to make a profit by deceit and tricks. Unreliable financial offers (promised profits are an empty phrase, but troubles are likely). Scams leading to losses (however, it makes sense to carefully study other cards in the layout).

Deceit and lies, or at least - insincerity. What hinders sincerity, other cards can suggest. This card loves what can be called a fake idyll - partners pretend that everything is fine, although at least one of them knows very well that everything is not at all what it seems and leads the other around the finger.

In love - a serious deceit, fooling a partner or avoiding an open display of feelings. However, not everything is always so scary. “I won’t take it by force - I’ll take it by cunning!” in this case, you can change it by imagining a not particularly beautiful Vasilisa or a not particularly beautiful knight without a white horse, who firmly know that no one will fall in love with them at first sight. Techniques, strategies and tricks are being developed so that the other side is imbued and believes that in front of her is “the most charming and attractive” (by the way, maneuvers from the film of the same name are also a pure Seven of Swords: zero feelings, but falling in love with the chosen object is equated with a combat mission , and each of the naive maneuvers was agreed upon in the "general staff").

In a more formidable version, this is Valmont from Dangerous Liaisons. This is an experienced intriguer and a big lover of fooling his head, "grated kalach", cunning and reckless. He went through fire, water and copper pipes and is ready for any test. His genre is excitement, insincerity, play, seduction, subtle tricks and escape from responsibility. This person always heads to slip away, get out of the game. A traitor and a manipulator, deftly deceiving other people's expectations and getting away with it once and for all. On the sly, he plans pranks and insidious intrigues, not being honest and frank in his feelings and thoughts. But sometimes he crosses the line and becomes defenseless against the negative encroachments of others.

The partner described by the Seven of Swords can be very sophisticated in love games in all their stages. Pick up here is usually mastered to perfection, it is a master (or craftswoman) to seduce, moreover, without any sincere feelings from her side. This is art for art's sake, strategy for strategy's sake, and specific objects are always in the position of extras here, even if it seems to them that they are finally invited to the most important role. This person knows perfectly well what to write in ambiguous messages, with what expression to look into the eyes, what and how to do when it comes to intimacy, and most importantly, at what moment to melt like morning fog. And do not underestimate him, thinking that his skill is limited solely to flirting and bed frills - he finds the “G-points” in his heart no less confidently.

The Seven of Swords disarms, in exact accordance with the image on the Arcana ... and apparently in the tents there no one even realized what was happening.

flipped card

Again - "do not dig a hole for another - you will fall into it yourself", but here, it seems, you have already hit it!

The best value of this card is the ability to move away from a conflict with a dangerous opponent. Although not everything is completely legal, there is nothing to be afraid of. Suspicions of theft and dishonesty can be dropped.

In an inverted position, the card symbolizes advice, instructions, remarks, reproaches, reprimands, corrections, that is, what does not allow cheating and deviating from the true path. At the same time, the inverted Seven of Swords can also indicate a lack of energy to achieve what was planned (Libra), as well as non-recognition by others (Aquarius). In addition, this card means disarmament (including psychological - to be weak, helpless), incompleteness. For example, a person, having barely reached a certain point, instead of moving on, being afraid of trials and abandoning an already close goal, runs away. One interesting interpretation is that the reversed Seven of Swords indicates the presence of a rejected or "unsuitable" person. This value should be taken into account if the alignment is done on relationships, as well as the meaning of exposing, tearing off masks, exposing true intentions.

Traditional Reversed: slander, plans that can fail, over-confidence leading to instability in business, annoyance. Questionable advice received from someone. Sometimes the card says that a person has penetrated into a secret that he does not need, has become an “extra witness”, stuck his nose into something that it would be better to stay away from. A straight card speaks of the mind, inverted - "many knowledge, many sorrows."

At the same time, there is an opinion that the inverted Seven of Swords speaks of cautious actions and a balanced approach to business. Before starting intrigues and cunning plans, a person ponders whether the game is worth the candle.

The traditional meaning is news, announcements. With the Seven of Pentacles - profit, with an inverted Ace of Swords - childbirth (from an old interpreter).

Hierophant - weakens the action of the Seven of Swords

Justice - weakens the effect of the Seven of Swords

With the Hermit - loneliness, removal from society

With the Hanged Man - loss of property or position.

With the Moon - something hidden in a person, unconscious, suppressed.

With the Sun, with the World - acquisition and good luck in that area of ​​\u200b\u200blife that the questioner is guessing at.

With the Ten of Wands - making commitments that you wanted to evade

With the Two of Swords - flight from the truth

With the Five of Swords - dishonor, separation from others, possibly due to exposure of lies

With the Six of Cups - the cunning influence of the Seven of Swords is weakening: openness and kindness

With the Nine of Pentacles - the desire to rely on oneself, to act at one's own discretion.

In combination with Justice - there is a great risk of running into exposure and incurring punishment, maneuvers cannot be hidden. In combination with the Devil, the outcome is more favorable for the questioner - he manages to get out of the water dry and cover his tracks. But still, this should not be considered as a guarantee of security.

All situations of betrayal and renunciation

Tarot - an opportunity to find out the answer to an exciting question with the help of an old deck of cards. It's easy to guess them. Today, anyone can do it. It is enough to be able to interpret the symbols and their combinations in the layout. But it is not enough to understand the meaning of only the major arcana. It is important for younger children to be able to read. For example, 7 swords. The meaning of this card should be interpreted depending on the subject of the question asked.

Suit of swords

The entire deck of Tarot cards is conditionally divided into two groups. The first includes the major arcana. The second consists of four suits, each of which is responsible for a certain area of ​​​​our life. So, the suit of swords personifies the intangible sphere. In her responsibility are the motives of a person, his desire for power and victory. The fight against obstacles is also subject to swords, namely the efforts made by a person in overcoming them.

In the playing deck, the suit of swords corresponds to spades. It is a symbol of struggle and victory. In the zodiac series, the symbol is identified with the element of air. Signs: Libra, Gemini and Aquarius. Court cards often describe characters born under these constellations.

The suit of swords itself is very complex. It embodies difficulties and the ability (or impossibility) to overcome them. In any scenario, you should pay attention not only to the symbols themselves, but also to the predominance of certain suits. Especially if swords were caught in divination. So, their abundance surrounded by bowls speaks of a problematic situation in the family. The neighborhood of many swords with pentacles indicates a weak financial sector . Combination with wands- Trouble in career.

But you should not interpret any suit card as negative. The tarot rarely indicates a clear problem. Most often they warn about possible difficulties. In addition, the cards will always give advice on how to resolve them. One has only to turn to the deck for help.

Seven of Swords

The Seven Swords Tarot card has an interesting meaning. Its meaning is negative, but the card not only states the problem, but also advises the best ways to solve it.

The card shows a young man who performs some deed early in the morning. He crept up to the tents of the military camp, which can be seen in the background, and gathered up a bunch of swords stuck in the ground. This character is strangely dressed, and looks more like a clown or a jester. He leaves the crime scene on tiptoe, smiling.

He holds his swords by their blades, a dangerous way of carrying sharp objects. Two of them are still stuck in the ground. The youth turns around to check if they are running after him.

In the Aquarius Tarot deck, the card has a slightly different pattern. It depicts a young man who has already returned with "booty" from the enemy camp. He sits wondering if he did the right thing.

There is deep symbolism in the map. Each of the elements of the picture corresponds to the interpretation of the card itself. A youth who steals swords is trying to solve a problem. He tries to use dishonest methods, but at the same time he is afraid of conflict. He has to act early in the morning while enemies (common sense) sleep. Taking the weapon by the blades, the boy will be seriously injured, and his success is doubtful. Two swords still remained in the camp.

The card calls not to solve problems in the old ways. The emergence of new difficulties must be followed by new ways of overcoming them. You need to find them yourself.

The value of the minor arcana

Seven can be interpreted in different ways. It all depends on the neighboring cards and the layout itself, its subject matter. In one case, the symbol may speak of an evil bad joke. Another interpretation speaks of theft, appropriation of other people's ideas and capabilities. The position of the symbol in the layout also matters.

The Seven of Swords card is in any case more negative than positive. But its meaning in the correct orientation is more optimistic.

Brief meaning of the symbol in the correct position:

  • Hope for a happy ending;
  • Trying to get comfortable
  • intentions;
  • Will and desire;
  • Striving for action;
  • urge;
  • Wild fantasy.

In the correct position, the card denotes cowardice. Humans have fears and doubts. He is ready to resort to any methods of solving the problem, even the lowest. There is rivalry, fraud and strife. It is also possible that a person is mistaken about his own powers. He is deceiving himself.

For a strong person, this card can serve as a warning that it is not worth consciously going into conflict. Despite its power, it is important not to show it openly. There is no point in boasting about your superiority.

The symbol encourages the querent to be flexible and able to adapt to the situation. Sometimes we are not driven by the most good intentions. This is nothing to be ashamed of. But you also need to be smart. It lies at the heart of competent diplomacy.

In some cases, the Seven card may fall upside down. The meaning of the card at the same time becomes positive and acquires some other features.

Meaning of the Seven of Swords Reversed:

  • Good intentions and better advice;
  • Good instructions;
  • A warning that will save the situation;
  • Observation, remark;
  • Whiplash, reproaches and reprimand;
  • Some news, news;
  • Consultation with a wise mentor, adviser.

In an inverted position, the card speaks of obstacles, which will be the fault of gossip, lies and betrayal. Do not listen to the advice of non-authoritative people.

The symbol also testifies to the involvement of a person in a showdown, initiation into unpleasant secrets. The seven speaks of the influence on affairs from the outside. Someone malevolent is trying to harm the plans of the querent. The red background of the map indicates this influence. It symbolizes enmity and evil intentions..

In reflection, an inverted card can speak of indecision and uncertainty. Man cannot rely on himself. He feels helpless.

Alignment for personality analysis

When describing a personality, the Seven of Swords card speaks of a stubborn person who does not want to admit obvious things. Moreover, he avoids this topic and does not want to enter into a conversation (the young man takes away his swords early in the morning). His attitude to the situation is reinforced by self-deception. He does not want to admit his weakness. His actions are aimed at a case known to be false.

The card encourages a person not to put his opinion at the head of everything. Sometimes you need to look at the situation from a different angle.

Divination about career and finances

In a career scenario, the Seven of Swords has a warning meaning. Important to pay attention on its position and neighboring arcana in the layout.

In the correct orientation, it speaks of some dishonest act. It does not have to come from the querent himself. The questioner is advised to take a closer look at the allies. Are all of them honest? Is everything clear to him in the affairs of like-minded people?

The card represents the dark deeds of competitors and allies. A person will have to look for the source of interference in the work on their own. It will tell you the direction and proximity of the cards. Moderation calls to solve the problem peacefully, without going to conflict. Death speaks of the need to go the beaten path.

Seven keeps talking about problems in professional activities. They may not come from outside, being born by the questioner himself. There is an ill-conceived strategy, rash steps. It may turn out that the leader lacks an intelligent ally. He alone cannot cover all aspects of the case.

A card in the wrong position indicates a lack of experience and means to succeed. The case has already been started, but suspended. Instability in work can also be caused by the insidious actions of competitors. Reinforces their tricks and the uncertainty of the querent himself in his success.

The card speaks of a retreat from plans, an inability to bring what has been started to completion. A person succumbs to minor difficulties overreacting to obstacles.

It is important to pay attention to the major arcana if they are next to the Seven. The sun calls to be benevolent and "love your enemy." The court warns of the impunity of the villain. The tower speaks of a trick that will come out sideways to the questioner.

In any case, you need to act according to your conscience, regardless of the tricks of competitors. You must not stoop to their level. Consult with your conscience and reason. You shouldn't go to any lengths for the sake of profit. It will not bring you satisfaction. Think of a young man who stole swords and does not know what to do with them next.

Question about love relationships

The Seven of Swords card in a love spread has a contradictory interpretation. The key in the interpretation, as usual, will be the position of the symbol.

Correct lasso

The 7 swords of the Tarot have an extremely negative meaning in the layout of the personal life. The meaning in the relationship of this symbol speaks of the hypocrisy that reigns in the pair. A love union is undermined by deceit, falsehood and deceit. It is possible that one of the partners may be the source of such baseness. But it also happens that both halves sin with ostentatious well-being, behind which hides a heap of problems and misunderstandings.

More favorable, though not too positive value can be interpreted as the secrecy of one of the chosen ones. He cannot or does not want to show his feelings and experiences. It is difficult to understand him, because he is silent about his emotions. The reason for this may be self-doubt. Sometimes this behavior is observed with a selfish attitude towards love. There is no need for a person to open up, because in this pair he is only a consumer.

The commercialism of a partner often reveals the right card. He wants to cash in on the relationship by creating an image of a character in love.

Wrong lasso

The inverted Seven speaks of a person's tendency to perceive other people's words and deeds too sharply. He is completely dependent on outsiders opinion. Allows such a weak partner to manipulate himself. The wrong symbol can also mean passivity in love. A person does not want to make efforts in order to be a worthy chosen one.

An inverted card of 7 swords can also personify extraneous influence on a couple. Rumors, envious people and slander gradually undermine the relationship of lovers. There is again the gullibility of one of the spouses.

In a health situation, the card speaks of some kind of dormant disease. Its symptoms are still invisible, but the disease has already crept up to the questioner.

In the question of the emotional state, the symbol indicates an apathetic and depressive state. Experienced events and recent experiences have left too strong an imprint on a person. He cannot recover from what happened.

If the card is turned upside down, then soon you will recover. This is the only case, where the symbol of the seven of swords has an absolutely positive interpretation.

The cards that fell next to the Seven will help interpret the resulting alignment. Especially clearly reinforce its significance senior arcana.

Such an interpretation of the cards.

Attention, only TODAY!

Seven swords are subject to the elements of air. The number seven itself is a divine number. Most often, the card depicts a guy who stole swords. He walks stealthily and looks back with fear. This whole production suggests that a person, through deception, decided to get what he needed. Also, the time of day in the illustration is either early morning, when everyone is still sleeping, or evening, when everyone is already sleeping.

General meaning of the card

IN in general terms the meaning of the card is:

  • self-doubt;
  • useless attempts to do something, the impossibility of the success of the enterprise is justified by the position in society, unwillingness to notice any nuances;
  • you don’t need to climb on the rampage in order to achieve the goal - sometimes you need to be able to go around, adjust to the situation and society;

  • All decisions must be carefully weighed and roundabout ways must be used to bypass problems. Sometimes you have to make concessions.

What can a card mean in divination for relationships

In the layouts for love and the continuation of relationships, the interpretation is very complicated. Partly also because the number seven itself is not very disposed to communicate with magicians and fortune-tellers. The worst option would be a gradual transition love relationship into rival ones. After parting, anger will remain in the pair, and on both sides. It is very likely that one of the partners is cheating.

The seven of swords tarot card can be a symbol of closeness in relation to your soul mate. The fortuneteller does not have enough fortitude to start a conversation that the partner has been waiting for so long. May be the reason for everything is an attempt to hide away from actions that require a responsible approach, in the pettiness of the questioner.

Often, when you see a card in a relationship layout, you need to think about the partner’s attitude. Such people lure, enchant their so-called victims, creating a visual picture of falling in love. And then enjoy the victory. If the victim got into the network, then he can get out of them only at the request of the usurper himself.

The inverted lasso in the layouts speaks of the complete dependence of one partner on the other. A dependent partner indulges his half in everything. Uncertainty in relationships, which generates slander from other people. This very uncertainty and reticence eventually leads to destruction. Painful for both partners.

An inverted card is the meaning of an inverted lasso.

  1. Most likely, the questioner in the past became a victim of dishonest machinations by opponents. Gossip played a big role. The man suffered a loss.
  2. The time has come to return what was lost. Now the enemies cannot take over, because all the actions on the part of the fortuneteller are correct, weighed. Every step and strike is delivered with professional precision.
  3. It promises the return of stolen property or restoration at the same place of work.

Astrological binding

The minor lasso of the seven of pentacles is under the influence of the planet Mercury. He is responsible for resourcefulness, cunning, deceptive actions. Aquarius in the third decade is under the control of the Moon and Neptune. They affect mental flight. It is possible to realize everything conceived not only with the help of brute force, but also by finding a creative, irrational approach.

The sacred meaning, interpretation based on the link to the previous lasso, and, accordingly, to the six, acquires a certain dual character. What do we see?

The minor lasso of the seven of pentacles is under the influence of the planet Mercury.

Initially, we saw a family that left everything familiar to itself. This family sailed away on a boat. Having reached the shore, people begin to realize that they still have nothing in their new place.

And then comes the realization that you need to survive at any cost. Then the father of the family steals swords while the owners are sleeping. But, only five swords were stolen, two remained. Therefore, having committed a crime, a person must prepare for a blow in response to his meanness.

Another development of events shows us a picture when the family, having moored to the shore, tired from long ordeals, falls exhausted and falls asleep. Here, under the cover of night, a certain criminal appears and steals the swords that were in the boat. Again, the two swords left symbolize that there is no escape from retribution. Everything stolen will be returned.

Personality characteristic

The cards not only describe events and provide answers to questions, but also show the environment of the questioner.

  1. If seven swords fall out next to a card symbolizing a person, this may mean that a very resourceful and intelligent person is nearby. The image of a person who is always well informed in any business. Such people will never disappear even alone.
  2. Often shows that next to the questioner is a thieving colleague or gossip.
  3. In some layouts, it shows a frequent change of housing.

A person who is capable of vile acts in order to achieve his goals. He can plan his tricks for a long time and carefully. He plausibly knows how to lie, which causes a trusting attitude towards him. There is always a weapon in his pocket, which he will deftly use at the first opportunity.

The inverted Seven of Swords indicates the narrow-mindedness of the mind. Often, this is a thief who does not know how to act inconspicuously.

What does the card of the day seven swords promise? If today, this card fell into your hands, do not be sad. Just on this day, there may be an obstacle on the way that needs to be eliminated with a little thought. Some kind of compromise will be needed. The main thing is to look the problem straight in the face. You should not retreat and play up.

A person who is capable of mean deeds in order to achieve his goals

Relationship breakdown.

  1. Asked question from married woman who noticed the discord in the relationship: what lies ahead for our marriage?
  2. The lasso fell seven of swords justice and the hermit.
  3. Based on this, we can conclude that the couple is waiting for a divorce. Moreover, the husband is always trying to get away from retribution. There is some uncertainty in the relationship. The hermit reinforces the initial interpretation of divorce, as if showing that the woman will be left alone. An additional card fell death. Which is a sign of the end of the old relationship.

The cards seem to say that for a long time the cup of patience is full. And stop living like this. It's time to end this phase and start a new one.

conclusions

Not always everything lends itself to template descriptions. Especially in tarot cards. The meaning of the seven of swords comes across in good interpretations. This, depending on which side and for which question fortune-telling is intended. You need to look and read cards more with your gut than with your mind. So the Seven of Pentacles can be seen in comparison to a chess game between fate and man. In chess there is no place for proof of brute force. The enemy must prove his superiority, relying on his experience, intelligence and ability to choose the right tactics. In this battle, the strongest will win and not necessarily fate can break a person.

The Seven of Tarot Swords will help you find the right path, take the path of life priorities that will help you survive in any cold.
