Upright Meaning
A solitary raccoon runs away with seven swords. This card speaks of a person who doesn't reveal their secrets and acts alone. Why do we distance ourselves from others: because we want to feel independent or because relationships have become too problematic? While this card can signify someone who is deceiving you or distancing themselves, it also compels us to look within ourselves and consider our own motives. Define the boundary between independence and isolation, as well as the difference between secrecy and deception.
Reversed Meaning
The reversed Seven of Swords symbolizes a lack of initiative that has become the result of compromise rather than trusting your instincts. It may indicate that you hesitate to take risks or that you're being pressured by public opinion. This Major Arcana in reversed position also suggests that now is not the time for any tricks. Be honest with yourself and with others.
