Seven of Swords
The Fool journeys to the Seven of Swords and realises that it’s time to change tactics. He knows he needs to diffuse others or situations by being diplomatic, biting his tongue, and not rising to any bait. He needs to stay aware of all that is going on around him; he is in the enemy camp, and he should stay focused on keeping things calm. It is time for the intellectual part of The Fool to act, not the emotional, and to stay alert to the actions and words of others.

Here we find a battle of wits, the balancing of odds in favour of yourself or another as you defuse someone, a situation, or are the person being disarmed.
Intellect rules here, and diplomacy and analysis events, words to be said, actions to be taken, as well as those already in play and made to gain ground or even keep a peace.
Odds need to be evened; a truce needs to be aimed for so that real, constructive communication can take place, even if it results in silence instead. Now is the time to defuse any potential danger, embarrassment, awkwardness, or stress with a bit of forward planning.
If you or another person is quiet and calm, then actions can go unnoticed, and if tension suddenly fades from a situation, all is well. Aim for peace.
Stay alert, wake up, and be aware of all that is happening within a situation. If you have a brilliant idea or things that you wish to keep close, stay quiet and keep them safe in case someone swoops in and takes them as their own.
Change tactics. Brains, not brawn. Bite your tongue.

Really delighted with the book "Understanding Tarot". Had a few tarot books over the years but this is the best. Also a comparatively large book nice and easy to read print. Highly recommend it.

Pam is extremely thoughtful and thorough. She puts great care in how she explains things especially sensitive matters. I've had a few readings from her that were very accurate. I look forward to future readings.

I just received my reading I was blown away by her accuracy and insight into the emotional dynamics of what is going on in my relationship. She is spot on. I feel the truth in her advice as well, even though I'm scared to act on it, I know deep down it is what is needed. I am so grateful! Thank you so much!

I am totally blown away by how great this book is! Before you even get into the content you will notice it's sheer size. This book is HUGE. The book is filled with beautiful coloured reproductions of each card with a comprehensive breakdown of each cards imagery and numerical associations. Then you have the in a nutshell portion if you want the quick fix.
Upright and reversed meanings of each card are also included. There are chapters on spreads, belief systems, psychic abilities, working with difficult or negative cards. Pam has shared her knowledge and love of tarot in a beautifully accessible
guide that is thorough and easy to understand without feeling like too much hard work.
It's an utter joy to have this book in my collection and is fast becoming my go to treasure.
As an addition while waiting for my print copy I was able to buy the eBook version.
Yes, I have 2! It's THAT good.
