Seven of Swords 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.
In love, upright
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.
In love, reversed
Exposure: a secret surfacing, a deception coming to light, or a decision to stop sneaking and be plain. Honesty costs less than you feared. Come back for the swords you left.
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.
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.
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. Trust may take time with them, because they rarely say everything they are thinking.
As the other person in a reading
They are working quietly on their own plan, discreet at best and sneaky at worst. Expect strategy rather than openness. Trust carefully and check what has gone missing.
The other person, reversed
Their plan is unravelling, or a secret of theirs is surfacing, or they are facing their own self-deception. Expect exposure and perhaps a confession. Meet honesty with honesty; do not gloat.
Yes or no in love
Upright, Seven of Swords leans a no; reversed, a maybe. Be strategic and discreet.
