Seven of Cups and Seven of Swords

Illusion and evasion, which is the least trustworthy pair in the tranche. The Seven of Cups is choices that may not be real; the Seven of Swords is taking a route around rather than through. The tradition reads them together as a situation where not everything on offer is what it looks like.

Associated with being told a version of something. The pair notably describes fog rather than proof, and it does not establish that anybody has done anything.

Offers that do not survive inspection, and a plan that relies on nobody looking closely. Read as a prompt for due diligence.

Neither card in this pair is evidence of anything. The most useful reading is the plainest one: check before committing, which costs nothing if the situation is honest.
