Seven of Swords

Meaning

If you want to succeed, you need to find a new way.

Tarot Reading

This is a picture of a man sneaking into a military camp to steal swords. He only steals five, and the other two stay in the original place. One man’s strength is always limited, so he has no way to engage the enemy openly, but can only adopt this cunning means to weaken the enemy’s combat power. The two swords left represent the danger of this behavior, and a little carelessness would lead to tragedy. However, in such a difficult situation, instead of flinching, he shows full confidence, which is very commendable. The expression on his face seems to imply that he has succeeded, but it is not. As long as he leaves a sword to the enemies, damage will be inevitable. The Seven of Swords tells people that when doing something difficult, if they want to succeed, they must make a lot of effort. It also implies that this kind of stealing may work once or twice, but not always.
