You've got your eye on something. Your mind is racing, coming up with all sorts of cunning plans to get what you want into your hands. The Seven of Swords speaks to a time when using mental strategy, wit and tact is the best way to your goal. In this situation diplomacy and charisma will work far better than a crowbar to open locked doors.

A stealthy plan may be exactly what's needed. However, you may be tempted to adopt some questionable means to your ends. If you find yourself lying or otherwise hiding your true intentions, stop and take a careful look at your motives. Dishonesty can easily backfire. And even if you get away with it this time, compromising your values may make the prize less sweet than you anticipated.
