Tell My Tarot
Tell My Tarot
This is a card of valor because the hero stands firm in defense even as six staves are raised toward him. It is also a card of success, because the combatant is at the top, above his enemies so that they may not even be able to reach him.
However, while this meaning is important, it’s also vital to go deeper inside what this card implies and think carefully about how this card relates to us personally. It could mean pushing at a job to get a promotion, but it can also be deeply significant to those who have been personally oppressed all their lives, perhaps by strict and closed-minded people who did not realize the damage they were doing.
The Seven of Wands indicates to us that it is safe to defend our position and our very selves, but it also points out the need for caution. Avoid becoming overemotional and merely rebellious. If we have a just, strong cause to defend, this card gives us the green light to do it.
UPRIGHT
UPSIDE DOWN
Interpretation
The Seven of Wands represents a struggle, which will force you to confront your most deeply held beliefs in a way that can be violent.
This situation may not at first seem very comfortable, but in the long run it will allow you to gain deeper trust in the values that you hold dear. Adversity is part of life, and it is imperative to accept this if you want to evolve serenely.
Your beliefs have allowed you to shape a world that suits you. Perhaps your professional situation really suits you at the moment, or you have a fulfilling romantic relationship and a circle of friends who are beneficial to your well-being. If external events seem to threaten what you have built, don't give up. In the coming weeks, expend your energy in maintaining what you have built. You will probably have to fight more than you had planned, but the result is definitely worth it.
