Yes, lovely! The cards whisper exactly what you're sensing here.

Seven of Swords reversed as advice is such a beautiful nudge toward honesty and course correction. Upright, it's that sneaky avoidance energy - tiptoeing around things, keeping cards close to your chest. Reversed in the advice position? It's asking you to turn around and face what you've been sidestepping.

In your situation specifically - that avoiding energy you mentioned? The card is literally pointing you back toward the conversation you've been postponing. It doesn't mean a dramatic confrontation, just... coming clean with yourself first, then opening the dialogue.

Trust your inner knowing on this. You already felt what it meant. ✨

this is exactly how i read it too! reversed swords cards always feel like they're undoing the 'harmful' energy of the upright version

so yeah if upright is sneaky/deceptive, reversed is like... stop the sneakiness lol
