self-sabotage

"Appearances are often deceiving." - Aesop

Today's intellectual querent is a messenger who is thinking from a new perspective (Page of Swords).  On one hand - this vivacious person is full of youth, and they are exuding beginner energy.  On the other hand - our querent is cheating someone and possibly acting dishonestly in other ways (Seven of Swords).  Despite how upbeat and "nice" this querent might appear, their deceitful intentions are deliberate.  In the long run this person's underhanded actions will hurt themself, more than hurt anybody else, because this person is heading down the wrong path, and that might be the loudest message of today's tarot reading:  Self-centered thinking today will lead to self-sabotage tomorrow.
