What does Seven of Swords mean upright?
Strategy, discretion and something being done out of sight. This may be clever manoeuvring or outright deception — including self-deception. Examine what is being concealed and by whom. The Seven of Swords asks whether the shortcut is worth what it costs.
What does Seven of Swords mean reversed?
Deception exposed, a confession made, or a return to honesty. What was hidden is coming into the open. Get ahead of it by telling the truth yourself. Concealment costs more to maintain than to end.
