Seven of Swords

A hat covers the head—symbolically shielding the mind and its intentions. In this card, it implies the concealment of thoughts or plans. The Seven of Swords represents taking a different, often secretive or morally ambiguous route to achieve one's goal, prioritizing cleverness over confrontation. Of the seven swords, only five are taken, and rather than seek help, this figure works alone—highlighting a preference for solo action over collaboration.
