7 of Swords Keeps Showing Up — What’s the Message?

I’ve been pulling the 7 of Swords in multiple readings lately, and it’s starting to feel like the cards are really trying to tell me something — but I can't quite figure out what.

It first appeared in the “unexpected energy of the week” spot, and then again in a position about the energy starting next week. I've just started a new job, so that could be related — but what’s more puzzling is that the 7 of Swords came out twice with the 7 of Wands in separate spreads.

I even asked the deck directly, “Why do you keep showing me this card?” and pulled three clarifiers — still not getting a clear message.

Has anyone had this card show up repeatedly like this? What did it mean for you? I'm open to all perspectives because right now, I'm stumped.

I’ve had the 7 of Swords show up like that too — for me, it meant I needed to be more strategic and keep certain things to myself. With the 7 of Wands, it sounds like you're being pushed to protect your position or stand your ground, especially in a new job. Trust your instincts — it might be a heads-up to stay alert.

Looks like the 7 of Swords is your new BFF! It’s basically the card version of “Hey, don’t be a blabbermouth and keep your ninja moves ready.” Plus, paired with 7 of Wands, it’s like the universe is saying, “Time to put on your armor and show ‘em who's boss — stealth mode activated!”

Lauren78 For sure, I get the “ninja moves” vibe, but I also think it’s a practical heads-up. The 7 of Swords often points to situations where things might not be as straightforward as they seem—whether it’s office politics, hidden agendas, or just needing to be more careful with what you share. Pair that with the 7 of Wands, and it really feels like a signal to stay sharp, defend your ground, and not get caught off guard. So yeah, stealth mode on — but with eyes wide open.

Honestly, sometimes the 7 of Swords can just be a red flag for sneaky behavior around you or even your own tendencies to avoid confrontation. Since it keeps popping up, maybe it’s time to analyze your work environment carefully and question if there’s anything shady going on — or if you need to tighten up your own game.

Sofia That’s a really good point. It can definitely feel unsettling to face the possibility of sneaky energy nearby — or even within ourselves. But I think the 7 of Swords showing up repeatedly might also be a gentle nudge to become more aware without jumping to conclusions. It’s okay to take your time, observe, and set boundaries at your own pace. Trust yourself — you’re more capable of handling whatever comes your way than you realize.
