寶劍 · VII
寶劍七
Strategy in a grey light. This can be tact, theft, a necessary unofficial exit, or the part of you that will not fight fair because the camp was never fair. Name the ethics out loud to yourself.

- 風
- 數字
- Seven — test of stance: leaving camp with five, two left in the ground.
- 象徵
- a figure in profile, arms full of five swords, stepping away from a tented camp · two swords remaining in the earth, what could not be carried or what was left as decoy · a yellow sky, the odd light of a strategy that is not quite day · a look back, cunning mixed with the knowledge of being seen
正位
- +cleverness in an uneven field
- +taking only what is yours, even if the taking looks sideways
- +knowing when not to announce the plan
- −betrayal of a trust you actually had
- −living as if everyone is a camp to raid
- −pride in being the one who got away
- 在愛情中
- A secret, a half-truth, an exit in progress. If you are the camp, ask what was actually taken. If you are the figure, ask whether the five swords are yours.
- 在工作中
- Office politics, IP, a quiet job search. Strategy is allowed. Theft of dignity is not.
- 在自身中
- You may need a sideways move. Do not build a self out of never being catchable.
逆位
The figure is caught, confesses, or turns back — or the strategy goes fully underground.
- 受阻——正位的水流存在，卻被堤住。
- 陰影——這張牌未被使用的那一面。
- 內化——戲劇在內裡，而非在世上。
Reversed Seven of Swords can be a return of what was taken. Shadow Seven doubles down on the sneak. Inner Seven is a private plot you have not tested against ethics.
