Seven of Swords Reversed

For the holidays, I took almost a month off this website in order to focus on my family.

That's a lie! 

I started new happy pills and took off to the Dominican Republic for a much-needed vacation. My family was there, which was great, of course, but really it was all about unwinding, thinking about my next moves, and imbibing all the bad things I possibly could. It was a very reversed seven of swords vacation. Not only did I get away with lounging by the pool with unlimited pina coladas, but I also took time to figure myself out and maybe reevaluate the direction my life is heading. 

Speaking of turning over a new leaf, I was worried about my plants while I was away, as I'm on a very strict watering and feeding schedule with them, but they seemed to like the vacation from me. I have a bunch of new spider plant blooms, and my philodendron seems twice as long. The reversed seven of swords might also be about plants (turning over a new leaf), so tend your gardens! 

The Seven of Swords upright is about stealth, manipulation, and getting away with something sneaky.
Reversed, we’re compelled to confess our sins, turn over a new leaf, or we’ve been caught in a lie. Alternatively, we might dig even deeper into the sneakiness and become a pathological liar, a cheat, or malicious.
