This is the cutest card, I think. Bad things done by a kitten become cute. The Seven of Swords is about strategy, stealth, and schemes. An orange kitten reaches out its paw, quietly preparing to steal a slice of fish. This isn't an honorable action, but the kitten shows its wit. So this card also expresses achieving goals in unconventional ways when the environment is unfavorable. The cutting of Shunde Yusheng requires extreme knife skills—the blade must be both accurate and fast—this is the emphasis on skill and thought in the card. The kitten stealing fish reminds us that sometimes gains don't come from the straight path, but by taking an opportunity.
Theft, cleverness, ingenious strategy, avoiding disaster, divine intervention. Reversed: Trickery discovered, escape.
