Meaning
At nightfall, a woman walks away from a house. She carries five swords with her, leaving two behind. As she departs, she looks back over her shoulder, hoping she has not been noticed. This card indicates deception and secrecy. Perhaps you are keeping a secret or doing something that you don't want others to find out. If you are caught, you may be faced with shame or humiliation. You are being reminded to act with integrity. The Seven of Swords also suggests you may be taking shortcuts out of laziness, which can cause damage in the future. Think about your actions and how it would make you feel if people you cared about were aware of them. Behave in a way to be proud of, even when you are alone.
Visual Description
A barefoot figure in a pale yellow gown walks along a path beside a gently flowing stream at night, cradling a bundle of swords in their arms. Behind them is a small wooden cottage with warm lights in the windows set at the edge of a dark forest; the moon and stars glow through bare branches. Butterflies and pale mushrooms dot the grassy foreground and the distant hillside is bathed in soft light. The composition feels quiet and furtive, with the figure glancing back as they move away.
