Seven of Swords - Personality

[AstralPasta]

How would you see the Seven of Swords in someone's natal chart, or as a part of someone's personality?

It's Moon in Aquarius.

I heard it talked a bit on the Moon episode of Fortune’s Wheelhouse. They both have Moon in Aquarius. I do too.

It's a card associated with guile, tricksters, unconventional approaches, thievery, cheating, plagiarism, cunning, covertness, manipulation?, disguise, lies, 'futility,' robin hooding, rebellion, wolf in sheeps clothing, mischief, doing whatever it takes, excuses, resourcefulness, etc.

Some positive, but mostly kinda negative seeming. I'm not sure how to make this more of a balanced picture as personality traits.

I'm interested in your take, whether you're coming from the Thoth or RWS. The Thoth one mainly makes me think of cognitive distortions to be overcome.

I always feel the context is a really big thing, and this relates to formal, psychologicl personality assessment as well as a reading like this. You have the genetic tendency and you have social influences; you have the trait, and you have its context.

Being manipulative could be a negative trait if you're just using people to get your own ends, but if it's combined with a sense of morality, it could mean good leadership, and being able to influence people to improve performance and so on. Being an unconventional Robin Hood? That's a good thing!

When I think of Moon in Aquarius I think of emotional freedom.

I can look at this card as "necessary protection". Though one might not be showing ones finest side, it's necessary for the time being.

I like this card - it's one of the good ones among the swords in my humble opinion, because one are allowed to "rot in the sofa" when this card comes up
