Seven of Swords

The Seven of Swords shows a person leaving community.  In the background we see people gathered, an elder stands in the mist of people having a spirited conversation or exchange.  I see this as people questioning tradition, questioning the current state of a situation and possibly recalling the events that lead to the current situation.

The tents are symbolic of tradition, home, stability, yet portable to move.

The two swords stuck in the ground, to me, symbolize a door way - so our actor here, in my interpretation today, is leaving his home, he's leaving security, and is in search of exploring or experiencing something new.  The swords the person is carrying are symbolic of positive experiences he taking away with him.

The red hat and boots would mean that he's passionate about his decision, the long brown shirt would mean that he's thought about his decision, he's grounded, this was a decision not made in haste.  The white under shirt, close to his heart, is symbolic of pure motives while the blue pants would symbolize freedom and inspiration.  The yellow, which is the prominent color, would symbolize growth, opportunity, guidance.

One should follow their heart, their dreams, pursing something new.  Be brave and leave the status quo, you just might discover that you life is enriched with new experiences and friends.
