The "Sevens" in the Tarot Deck are associated
with experimentation, courage, and risks. The nature of the risk may
vary and can be positive or negative.
In the case of the Seven of Swords, this is usually taken as a negative
card - with connotations of sneaky and deceitful actions. This card
has several titles/themes (in different decks), including "change of
conciousness", "unstable effort", and "self-sabotage".
The Seven of Swords in the Robin
Wood Deck is especially sinister in appearance and is said to
depict a thief, a dark shadowy figure who appears to be stealing
the seven swords underneath this cloak ... escaping from an encampment
by climbing over a wall. This may imply a crisis of personal honour,
or taking risks within oneself.
This is not a comfortable card to appear in a reading but it can
provide useful
advice. If there are untrustworthy or weak elements around us, perhaps it is
better that we recognise them.
