The traditional Rider Waite depiction of the Seven of Swords card features a figure stealthily carrying away five swords from a camp, leaving behind two swords. The person may be looking over their shoulder with a sense of secrecy or cunning. The scene is often set at night, and the figure may be shown tiptoeing away to avoid detection. The Seven of Swords is associated with themes of deception, cunning, and strategy. The card may suggest the need for careful planning, the use of wit or cleverness to navigate a situation, or a warning about potential dishonesty or betrayal. In a tarot reading, the Seven of Swords may indicate a situation where caution and strategic thinking are required. It could also suggest the need to be aware of potential deceit or manipulative actions. Alternatively, it may prompt the individual to consider whether they are being overly secretive or if someone in their life is not being forthright.
In the Mystic Monday’s Tarot deck, the Seven of Swords card is depicted as a female figure, her back facing the viewer, who is in a mysterious landscape in the dark. Six swords surround them in the background, four in the background, and two in the foreground that have fallen on the ground. She is holding one sword behind her back, one arm outstretched with her fingers pitched. In the night sky, there is a glowing crescent moon.

General Seven of Swords Card Upright Meaning
Sneaky, sneaky! Be careful who you confide in, as you may not be able to trust them with your secrets. This is a time to be discreet and protect yourself, as confiding in others can bring more harm than good. Underhanded methods used to gain the upper hand can be rewarding, if you don’t get caught. Deception is at play, whether it is you being the predator or the prey. You are seeing what you can get away with and pushing past boundaries to gain advantage. Seeking shortcuts seems appealing, as you don’t want to waste any time or effort on the things that don’t matter in the long run. In your eyes, you’re working smarter, not harder. However, be clear on what this course of action will do to your conscience and the possible impact that it will have on others.
