The Seven of Wands Tarot Card Description

The Seven of Wands Tarot card shows a man doggedly defending himself against several attackers. The warrior is in a very good defensive position on a cliff, from which he manages to keep even a superior number of attackers at bay.

No one is around him anymore, so only his strong will and his firm conviction are the only allies in his almost hopeless fight.

The fighter has a very aggressive and tense posture, but it allows him to fight off his enemies and defend his territory.

He still stands with both feet firmly on the ground, as if he were fused with his environment so that he will not fall easily and defends his claims until the end.

It is noticeable that he wears two different pairs of shoes, as if he had just been surprised by the attack and, in all his haste, had forgotten to prepare himself properly. Nevertheless, he has his fighting spirit and staff ready, which are his most important tools in this fight.

Upright Seven of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Wands reveals that your position, professional or personal, is being questioned by others trying to dispute your achievements.

Especially if you have many successes and correspondingly high influence and power, envious people could try to take advantage of you in a moment of weakness.

But you are a fighter and ready to defend your achievements and influence against unjustified claims until the end.

Through your experience and willpower, it is possible for you to endure such a confrontation for a long time, especially since you are in a good defensive posture due to your position and power.

Another aspect of the Seven of Wands is that you are surprised unexpectedly by hostility from the outside and have accordingly little time to react appropriately.

The confrontation comes from one or more people you never thought would think so negatively about you or even actively act against you.

Despite all the disappointment and anger about this attack on your person, you should not hesitate for long and quickly come up with a plan that will allow you to get out of the surprise attack with a black eye.

Once you have survived the worst, you can go on the attack again from a safe position and with more support yourself, standing up for your rights and opinions.

The Seven of Wands Tarot card also encourages you to stand up for your values and beliefs the more they are questioned or openly fought against by those around you.

We live in a time with diverse opinions and views of the world, some of which are very different but can coexist despite everything, if we treat each other with mutual respect.

Defending your beliefs is important and necessary when other people try to impose their own ideas on you.

Resist the temptation to conform at all costs, but stand up for your right to your own opinion and thinking and remain steadfast. You will be alone in your struggle for a while, but soon you will receive support from others for your cause.

Upright Seven of Wands Tarot Love Meaning

Single

In a love tarot context, the Seven of Wands represents a surprising turn in your love life. Possibly an initially very promising love affair has developed in a very unexpected direction, with which you have a bad gut feeling and prefer to end the liaison early.

The Seven of Wands encourages you as a single person to persevere and remain steadfast in your search for a partner.

If you have found true love, use all your energy and perseverance to conquer it for yourself. Because only if you stand up for someone and fight for their feelings, they feel what deep emotions you have for them.

Only you and your partner can deal with the problem between you and do not need outside interference.

Another meaning of the Seven of Wands is that your relationship is an important protection against hostility from outside. A stable partnership is the best retreat to guard against conflict or bullying and protect your own values.

Having a partner who will always stand by you and protect you when you have no strength left to fight on is one of the most precious gifts in a relationship.

By giving your partner the same support and protection in difficult situations as he gives you, your partnership will always remain a source of strength and fulfillment.
