Dignified:     The general feeling of the Seven of Swords is that of being overburdened.  The Seven represents someone who has taken on more then they can handle and eventually something will have to give.  Being overburdened can bring feelings of worry, exhaustion, and unnecessary stress.  The Seven of Swords can also signify feelings of being frenzied and strong feelings of having to get things done in a limited amount of time.  Essentially the Seven of Swords represents someone who has taken on more then they can chew and if they don’t slow down and start to take things one step at a time, they run the risk of becoming burned out.  Many times the Seven of Swords indicates someone who takes on other people’s responsibilities without need.  It can be a warning to a mother not to baby her children or it can simply suggest one to allow friends and family to take care of their own problems.  Overall the Seven of Swords suggests a need to slow down or else physical and mental problems will start to occur.

Ill-Dignified:     In a reversed position the Seven of Swords represents over-reliance on other people to get things done.  It represents irresponsibility, laziness, and a total lack of motivation.  It can also represent feelings of physical exhaustion.
