Career, Work Or Retirement:

In the context of work, the appearance of the Seven of Swords can mean that your employer is looking at your work and conduct very closely. Keep your shoulder to the grindstone, and make sure your work is above reproach. Try not to get involved in work politics. If you’re looking for work, don’t hesitate to speak to people you know or have worked with in the past.

Card Meanings: Theft, Cheating, Strategy, Lies, Underhanded, Adaptable, Enemy Masquerading As Friend, Resourceful, Cunning, Mental Manipulation, Flexible, Courage, Insolence, Escaping Detection, Daring, Dangerous/Risky Behaviour, Deceit, Betrayal, Spying, Unwise Attempt, Trickery, Getting Away With It, Sharp Wit, Scheming, Lack Of Conscience

The Seven of Swords can point to someone who is behaving with less than ethical intentions. It sometimes also means prying into someone’s life where you don’t belong. If you sense that someone is spying on you, you may be right. If you are tempted to dig through someone else’s life (unless it is that of your minor child who has given you cause for concern), resist the impulse. Everyone deserves privacy.

Reversed Cards: Have you ever had someone talk you out of doing something you knew you would eventually regret? If so, then you have experienced the Seven of Swords in the protection aspect in real life. In the upright position there tends to be a bit of an implosive energy to this card; it’s action without thinking about the long-term consequences. Here in the protection aspect, the reality of the future beyond the action looms large. Karmically speaking, when we take from others or deal with others with a vibration of ill intent, then that energy comes back and bites us in the ass. Having this card in the protection aspect is a blessing to your future self.

Complete Book of Tarot: The decanate system divides the 360-degree circle of zodiac signs into thirty-six equal parts of 10 degrees each. Each sign consists of three decans. There are twelve signs, so there are 12 x 3 = 36 decans. For thousands of years, astrologers have assigned the visible planets to these decans. Thus, each tarot card numbered from two through ten is associated with a decan as well as with the planet ruling the decan. In his book Mystical Origins of the Tarot, author Paul Huson shows how the decans’ esoteric meanings influenced the Golden Dawn’s interpretations of the cards.

Complete Book of Tarot: Card 7, the querent’s experience of the matter, was Judgment depicting an angel sounding a trumpet at the end of time to awaken the souls of the dead and call them to a new phase of existence. The querent felt that having a child now would be like entering a completely new phase of life. He added that the angel on the Judgment card reminded him of his girlfriend’s name, which was Angela!
