Seven of Swords

Seven of Swords — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

deception, going alone, something withheld

Something is not being done openly — by someone else, or by you. It works in the short term only.

In a yes or no reading, Seven of Swords upright answers no.

Reversed

coming clean, being found out, returning what was taken

The concealment is ending, one way or the other. Voluntarily is much better.

In a yes or no reading, Seven of Swords reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Seven of Swords can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
