Upright Seven of Swords Card Meaning

When the Seven of Swords is upright in a Tarot reading, it means you or someone connected to you wants to be a "lone wolf." A lone wolf is someone who runs alone and free, acting totally on his own. This is a card that indicates separation from others. You may feel you're most effective when you act alone. You wish to ignore the fumbling efforts of the ineffectual group and assert your independence. This style of working in isolation is only effective for some people because most of us need to have a commitment from others to be productive. The Seven of Swords card can also signify running away from commitments or responsibilities. There is a need to face what needs to be faced head-on. One just can't wish problems away. Procrastination doesn't work. There is a need to deal with the problems.
