The Seven of Swords is sometimes renamed the Thief Card. Considering this, an interpretation is relatively straightforward. The Thief refers to dishonest or illegal acts and charming yet roguish characters. There are also implications of infiltration and disguise, if someone being somewhere they shouldn’t be for ulterior motives. The Card is not wholly negative and may refer to someone resorting to underhand methods after playing by the rules for long enough to know that the rules do not work, and the odds are stacked against them. Often what is legal is not what is right, and what is law is not always fair. Some readings take into account ideas of imposter syndrome, of feeling like you don’t deserve to be somewhere, or that you are in some way unworthy.
