7 of Swords (Unstable Effort/Politics)

Crowley associates this card(path) with Moon in Aquarius.

i.e. thirst for the unusual

"The Seven of Swords is tied to the Five of Swords...

because both cards involve separation from others. "

                                                                                                                                                                                  (interesting note*)

7 of Swords is The Lone Wolf.

the number 7 is associated with intuition and inate knowledge

"The Seven of Swords can also indicate a hidden dishonor - a choice you or another has made that does not do justice to the highest. We all make wrong choices that we want to hide. Some of these are minor, some serious. Your inner voice will tell you when this is happening. When you see the Seven of Swords, take a good look at what you're doing because hidden dishonors will eat away at your happiness and self-respect."

Positively - Uniqueness of personality, behavior, thinking and ability. Important lessons learned. Understanding. An enhanced sense of individual purpose. Taking the roads less traveled. Enhanced self-expression.

it is true that tonight is the end of the gregorian year i.e. new years eve. we are invited to a party/music jam..and to be honest i really don't feel like going. is that what this card is reinforcing? to shirk my responsibility of going to this party?   ;) i dunno, cuz it's not really a responsibility.

me(?) leaving the 'party'     ;)

the rest of the gang can have those two thoughts...

the rest i am keeping safe till later*

the yellow background in the rider-waite card signifies we are dealing with Solar Energy...
3rd chakra energies. i.e. will/creative forces.

we've got a rather sneaky looking character...

tip-toeing away with Most of the 'weaponry'...

is he taking away the source of his antagonist's security?

seems to me he isn't taking them away in order to defend himself...

maybe he is taking them away, so he doesn't Have to defend himself.

the swords are representative of Air/Thought...

is he taking the thoughts of others?...

...redirecting them so to speak (?)

Keeping thoughts to himself.*
