Seven of Swords as a person

Strategic, independent and a little elusive, this is someone who prefers to work things out alone and keep their cards close. They can be resourceful and quick to find a way around an obstacle.

As a person, upright

Strategic, independent and a little elusive, this is someone who prefers to work things out alone and keep their cards close. They can be resourceful and quick to find a way around an obstacle. Trust may take time with them, because they rarely say everything they are thinking.

As a person, reversed

The shadow of this card is a person whose schemes are coming undone, or who has been fooling themselves about their motives. In a better light, it describes someone choosing to stop sneaking around and to be straightforward at last. Either way, the secrecy is costing more than it is worth.

Their strengths

At best this person brings strategy, stealth and acting alone.

In love

Strategy or secrecy in love: someone acting alone, keeping something back, managing the relationship rather than living it. Not always malicious, rarely healthy.

At work

Strategy or secrecy: a solo move, a competitor's manoeuvre, information kept back. Not always wrong, rarely comfortable.

As feelings

Something is being kept back. This person may have feelings for you they are not ready to show, or they may be managing the connection carefully, saying one thing while weighing another. It is not always deceit; sometimes it is self-protection. Either way, the full picture is probably not on the table yet.
