A secret strikes like lightening
The Seven of Swords suggests secrets, trickery, or deceit.
While malintent may not always be the reason, even well-intended sins of omission weave tangled webs.
Honesty with yourself and others is always the best policy.
Upright:
You are deluding yourself. Wake up. As Arcade Fire sings, “sleeping is giving in / so lift those heavy eyelids.”
Reversed:
Keep your guard up. A cover-up is about to come crashing down around you. Someone is hiding something from you or may be sneaking around behind your back, or you may suffer a loss from theft.
