Seven of Swords
Deception, Gains, Theft < Moon in Aquarius >
A person stands alone in a nocturnal setting, holding five swords, three of which are stuck in the ground while the other two are held close to the chest. The person appears nimble and alert, attempting to quietly leave a camp or a group, with the outlines of other figures or the camp in the background. The overall atmosphere is one of concealment and secrecy. The person is clearly engaged in some secretive action, which could involve theft, evasion, or avoiding conflict. The swords surrounding them do not directly threaten them but form a wall that traps them. The depiction conveys a sense of being trapped and helpless. The person cannot see the path or an escape route, feeling restricted and unable to move freely. However, the key is that their predicament is self-created, as they could easily untie the rope binding their hands, and the swords do not physically harm them. This suggests that they are trapped by their own fears, hesitations, and negative thoughts.
