Seven of Swords
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seven of Swords is a Minor Arcana tarot card. Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1].
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2].
[edit] Divination Usage
A hasty decision, greed and/or thoughtless behavior, the individual acts in an impulsive fashion. It represents secret plans, hidden dishonor, frustration and the possibility of failure.
[edit] Rider-Waite symbolism
- The figure is taking stealthy steps, looking back to examine the scene he's leaving. Apparently he's doing something he knows he shouldn't be doing, and is attempting to get away with it anyway.
