Discretion and caution are advised with The Seven Of Swords. Someone is up to no good, so be aware because you may be deceived, or are you the deceiver? This card has a trickster quality to it, you need to be careful of who you trust with your secrets. There are ulterior motives at play, so be aware of any manipulation and unethical behavior. This card represents dishonesty, lies, betrayal, and deception, but it will also teach you to be honest with your intentions.

In the Nine of Wands, the Rider Waite image shows a figure who has faced many struggles and, while he’s still standing strong, the bandage around his head indicates that he has sustained injury along the way. The figure is watchful, wary, anticipating further attacks from any angle.

In the Two of Wands, we see a man standing, alone, atop a walled fortress, holding the world in one of his hands. In the other, he holds one of the Wands of the card, while the second Wand has been fastened to the ramparts on his right. Like this bound Wand the figure here has been hemmed in by his success, and we can imagine him pondering on what, exactly, it has brought him.

The Devil card depicts a male and a female demon, with chains about their necks, held captive by a central devil figure. Although if examined more closely: the chains are loose. These human-like figures could easily slip out of them and be free. Their captivity, therefore, is optional; or perhaps a price that they are willing to pay for something else. The Devil, thus, represents what can happen when primal forces, kept in harmony by Temperance and used with direction by The Hanged Man, are allowed to rage unchecked.

Ten of Pentacles represents a sense of security and a certain standing within your community. This card can also signify prosperity for both yourself and your family. The wealth represented in this card goes beyond material things and indicates a rich connection to family, community, and the legacy that you have fostered.

The Nine of Pentacles depicts a woman standing in a garden, dressed in a way that signifies a high status. The card symbolizes a comfortable lifestyle that has been achieved based on merit. It indicates that managing resources and looking ahead is what ensures long-lasting livelihood.
