The Seven of Swords as How Someone Sees You: Someone They Are Not Sure They Can Trust

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Seven of Swords as how someone sees you means they see the figure creeping away with the swords. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, the Seven of Swords as how someone sees you means they are not sure they can trust you: they see you as strategic, private, possibly hiding something. It may be accurate. It may be their own suspicion. Either way, it is a picture with a question mark in it.

This is you as the figure glancing back over the shoulder. They see the swords in your arms. They are wondering what else is there.

The Seven of Swords upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Seven of Swords guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with deception, strategy, getting away with something and acting alone. When the card lands in a position that asks how someone sees you, I read those meanings as the image the person holds of you, which is not the same as who you are and not the same as what they feel. the Seven of Swords as feelings covers what they feel; the Seven of Swords as intentions covers what they plan. This page covers the picture. The general card meanings at Biddy Tarot are a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Seven of Swords as a person who sees you as clever and guarded, someone who plays their cards close and may not tell them everything.

What I would not read into it is proof of wrongdoing. Suspicion is not evidence.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm you are hiding anything, only that the person thinks you might be. No card lets a reader see inside another person's head. What a card can do is describe the kind of image that fits the person's behaviour toward you, and give you something to check against how they actually treat you.

The Seven of Swords reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Seven of Swords as how someone sees you means they see you coming clean, or they have found something out and now see you differently.

In your own question, ask whether there is something you have not told this person that they have sensed. A reversed card here is a prompt to notice whether the picture the person holds has gone sour or gone wrong, not a verdict on you.

The Seven of Swords as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Seven of Swords suggests they suspect there was more to the story than they were told. My guide to asking a psychic whether an ex will come back explains what a reading can and cannot say about that question.

The Seven of Swords as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they are not sure of you yet. Plain honesty is the remedy.

How to check the picture against reality

Look at whether the person asks follow-up questions or double-checks what you say. That checking is the picture.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, anything you have kept back, and whether it matters to them.

For comparison, the Five of Swords as how someone sees you and the Moon as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Seven of Swords card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Seven of Swords as a yes or no and the Seven of Swords as timing cover the other questions people most often ask of it. For a personal interpretation, my guide to a love psychic reading online explains how I work, and the three-card tarot listing and customer reviews are worth reading before deciding whether to order.
