Description of the 7 of Swords Tarot

Meaning of the 7 of Swords of the Tarot

The Seven of Swords is one of the minor arcana of the Tarot. This card is marked by the presence of the sword in its center. This one is surrounded by 3 ovals on each side which meet at the top of the card with the sword. This oval, which recalls the oval of the World, symbolizes the space given to thought. At the same time, this space is enclosed and shows an important internal reflection that only very partially manages to act on the outside. Here, the card shows the difficulties to take frank action. It is rather a question of getting around it.
