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.

My book arrived this week. Yes!
The Universal Waite Tarot deck shows Pamela Coleman Smith’s artwork recoloured by Mary Hanson Roberts. The line-art is clean with non-blurry lines and beautifully coloured, of course.
I am house-sitting for my son for two weeks so decided to also buy the ebook from Amazon Kindle. I’ll leave the hardcopy at home so it doesn’t weigh-down my suitcase. It’s a 427 page book, so very thick!
I’ve only read the introduction and The Fool so far. What I like so far, is the way the Fool’s meaning is described in detail, referring to colour, symbols, and zodiac and astrological associations. All important details for me to remember and learn. There is a lot to learn, to enjoy and to gradually remember. I say gradually, as it’s not about memorising but savouring the details. This is not a book with keywords, although there is a “In a nutshell” summation at the end of each long description for the card. The long description (often three pages in length) is followed by two shorter ones (less than one page long) for upright and reversed meanings. In these shorter sections, keywords are in bold-type. It’s far easier to remember them when they’re given in a story-like context rather than as a separate list to memorise.
I can see myself using this book as my primary resource for years!
This began as sharing a photo and ended up as a short review for those who have not yet bought Pam’s book.
My advice is to not hesitate.

Love the book and been referring to it a lot for my own and others readings... detailed description of the cards is the best I've come across.

Thank you, Pam, for your encouraging reading. It has provided me with further guidance and peace of mind. Initially, I was hesitant about the slow process, but after your reading, I realized that some things cannot be rushed and need time to unfold. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for your guidance. Kat C
