Seven of Swords 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.

As feelings, upright

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.

As feelings, reversed

Honesty is starting to win out. This person may be close to admitting what they really feel, or a feeling they hid is coming to light whether they planned it or not. There can be embarrassment in that, and also relief. Meeting the reveal calmly tends to make it easier for both of you.

What it says about love

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

The person behind the feelings

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.

Feelings it can stir in you

Upright, Seven of Swords is about strategy, stealth and acting alone; reversed, about exposure, coming clean and a plan unravelling. If the question is how you feel, read it as a mirror rather than a verdict.
