Seven of Swords Reversed Tarot Meaning

“Change of luck.”

If the Seven of Swords appears reversed, it represents changes in luck.

If an unlucky black rain cloud has been following you around, then this card could indicate that it is finally dissipating. The trickster on the card announces that unexpected events are currently swirling around you. Lucky meetings and encounters may take place. However, you may also need to be on guard for unscrupulous individuals. Read between the lines to any agreements, since there is always an unpredictable (and sneaky) quality to this card.

Have you tried to outsmart a situation that seemed impossible?

The trickster on the Seven of Swords card is a great example of how you can use your wits to outsmart a difficult situation. Rather than fighting the entire army, he strategically steals five of their seven weapons, weakening their strength. You can use a similar approach by taking the time to review your challenge from different angles and finding ways to circumvent it. Seek advice from experts and use the internet to your advantage. Don’t be afraid to take risks or commit to a decision that may lead to change.

When the Seven of Swords appears reversed, it also suggests you can change your own luck. A former teacher of mine used to recite a well-known saying; “Luck is what happens when preparation meets with opportunity.” Think ahead and prepare for what you are trying to accomplish. Use your resilient wits and good luck will find you.

The Seven of Swords reversed asks that you to pay attention to details.

The thief on the card could indicate the need to review current payment plans, to ensure that you aren’t being robbed by a corporation or even another individual. Upright or reversed, the Seven of Swords asks you to get smarter. Preparation of the details will give you the ability to change your luck and overcome your challenges.
