Upright meaning

Five swords carried away from a camp, two left behind. Something is being done without full disclosure — sometimes clever strategy, more often a shortcut that will be discovered.

Seven of Swords reversed

The truth surfacing, or the recognition that you have been deceiving yourself first.

Reversal does not flip Seven of Swords into its opposite. The same force is present but blocked, turned inward, or overdone — which of the three applies is decided by the cards around it. The keywords shift to coming clean, caught, self-deception.
