SEVEN OF SWORDS

, ,
Seven of Swords indicates theft, betrayal, deception and trickery. To me it’s the sneaky card. You may be trying to get away with something and are sneaking around behind other people’s backs, hoping to go undetected.

The 7 of Swords does have a reputation for being underhanded, but in some situations, there may be good reason for this. To me it’s the Sneaky Pete card. Someone is covering up the truth and trying to get away with it unnoticed. People hide the truth for all kinds of reasons. While an unfaithful lover or sneaky business person may be uncovered by this card, it might also indicate news that has been kept secret to protect feelings.

The 7 of Swords is a card to keep an eye on since it may suggest that someone is covering up the truth. Though this might be for our own good, there will be times when their intention is to deceive and manipulate. The card may confirm a feeling you had about a close friend or relative, but it could also suggest to check the fine print in a business deal or to be careful about an investment you may be considering.

In it’s most positive light, the 7 of Swords may represent being an assertive, strategic planner and staying one step ahead of others.

Traditionally, the Seven of Swords indicates theft, a cunning person, selfishness, dishonesty, betrayal, deception and trickery.

The 7 of Swords will describe all kinds of dishonest people. At it’s worst, it pinpoints crooks or an adulterer, but more likely, it will highlight those who tell little white lies or twist the truth to suit themselves.

You may be trying to get away with something and are sneaking around behind other people’s backs, hoping to go undetected. The Seven of Swords could imply that sometimes you just have to face what has to be faced.  It means to use your wits for diplomacy and not to use aggression.

At times it can be viewed as secret, strategic planning or hidden dishonor. Your acts may be legitimate. However, you prefer to use your mind and intellect rather than force or by obvious means.

Ask yourself this?
How honest are you with those around you?
When is it acceptable to tell little white lies?
Can you think of a time when your trust was taken advantage of?

EIGHT OF SWORDS

EIGHT OF SWORDS - You're feeling trapped, victimized and caged in. You are not seeing clearly. This is the "damned if you do, damned if you don't," card.

You’re feeling trapped, victimized and caged in. You are not seeing clearly. You may feel as though you’re stuck in rut and very unsure of your next move. This is the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” card. Even if the next move is obvious there is something that seems to be holding you back. Why are you feeling so restricted? You may feel powerless because, in your mind, you feel that changing the situation might be beyond you. Are your fears even realistic or are they self imposed? Don’t procrastinate for too long when making decisions or taking action. Don’t bury your head in sand, the situation is still going be there when you eventually come up for air. It’s your turn to make a move, so make it!

NINE OF SWORDS

, ,

Have you ever had so much on your mind that you can’t sleep, you’re feeling all anxious and overwhelmed.

Maybe you had a nightmare or a problem or situation that’s consumed your mind into the twilight hours. Weather these feelings hit during the day or the night, the Nine of Swords represents worry, fear and anxiety.

What we must remember is that worries are merely our thoughts. And in reality, thoughts should not be able to hurt us. When we begin to worry unnecessarily we should remember the FEAR acronym. False Evidence Appearing Real. Give it the 3 day rule. If it still bugs you in three days, it needs to be confronted. Unless you have the true facts that it’s a legitimate worry, there is little point becoming lost in the fiction of needless worry.

Nine of Swords is a card that represents self-defeat. It describes mental anguish and stress. It could mean a period of many sleepless nights to come. 

You’re experiencing unhealthy thoughts that are keeping you up at night. You’ve allowed negative emotions to take over your entire existence. Your pain can take the form of fear, depression, loneliness and isolation. Find the courage to reach out for help.  You need to rise above it and figure out a way to turn what’s challenging into an opportunity. It can be harnessed positively with the right attitude, and it takes plenty of willpower and discipline to do so. Try not to allow your inner angst to get the better of you.
