Seven of Swords
Upright
Your thoughts go out into the world and receive an answer. Someone picks up the idea, someone objects, and somewhere circumstances no one foresaw step in. This is a time for feedback and a flexible mind: listen, weigh and adjust your course. The unexpected is part of the road too.
Reversed
The collision with the world turned out to be painful: the idea wasn't understood, or unforeseen events wrecked every plan. Instead of flexibility, cunning or a wish to hide appears. The process has stopped — an honest conversation will give you more right now than any roundabout way.
