The Meaning of the Seven of Wands in the Tarot Card System

Seven of Wands (Seven)

General Meaning

Determination, courage, the ability to protect and defend your rights. Confrontation, conflict, dispute, a clash. A difficult situation, the need to defend yourself. Fierce competition, tough negotiations.

In a conflict situation, you will hold the advantageous position. A period of confrontation, opposition, and problems is setting in for you. You may feel pressure being applied to you. To overcome obstacles, competition, and various difficulties, you will have to summon all your resolve and inner strength. Even if you do not notice it, your position has certain advantages. To reach your chosen goal, you must stand very firmly on your feet. Just do not give up! With a certain amount of effort, you will achieve everything. If your career is what interests you, it will develop successfully. You may find yourself facing a highly unusual situation.

Meaning in Situations

Courageous action in a difficult situation. With negative cards: envy, intrigues, a hidden struggle. Defending your achievements. Fighting obstacles and competitors. A battle against unseen enemies and rivals.

Work

A fight between competitors, defending your position, "nothing personal" (you are being undermined not because you are bad, but simply because someone covets your place). Success that must be fought for, constantly proving your right to your position (including qualification exams and re-certification). Battles of wits, hidden competition. Defending your territory.

Health

Strong bodily resistance. Weak immunity, an illness running a hidden course.

Relationships

Defending your territory. A threat to the relationship from third parties: the person senses the relationship is in danger. Most often, though, it is not a rival but the partner's parents or other close people. The feeling of constantly having to fend off interference (blackmail, suspicion, intrigues — and resisting it all).

Personality Type

The ability to defend your opinion against the whole of society. Fighting for the truth at any cost. The ability to stand up for yourself, to defend your opinion and position. A suspicious person in a defensive stance.

Advice and Warning

Advises looking the challenge boldly in the eye (defend your interests). Warns not to underestimate the enemy. This situation exists to test your attentiveness and resilience. You do not know who your enemies are.

Yes or No

"No." Success lies in preserving what you already have. You will have to defend yourself against the unknown.

Reversed Meaning: Meaning in Situations

In the reversed position, the card speaks of an unwillingness to move forward when faced with a problem. This card also warns that if you retreat even a single step, you will lose a wonderful opportunity. Most likely, however, you will never have to face the thing you fear so much. The card insists that the problem at hand must be solved, not hidden from. Your lack of confidence and indecisiveness only make the current situation worse. The card may be exposing your weak spot and telling you that from the very start you took on a venture that is doomed to fail.

Energy wasted on nothing, fighting imaginary enemies. The card is much weaker than in the upright position. Pointless arguments, groundless worries. Over-insurance, a constant readiness for battle.

Reversed Meaning: Work

Tilting at windmills, a persecution complex. Financial losses due to a poor distribution of effort. Lost profits due to excessive caution, seeing competition where there is none.

Reversed Meaning: Health

The body overreacts to external irritants (allergies). Excessive bodily resistance. A phobia of falling ill.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

A scandal over nothing. Persecution mania, suspicions of infidelity.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Too many ideas, none of which will ever be realized. A state of restlessness, expecting hidden traps from everyone around. Unable to concentrate.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Advises playing it extra safe (it cannot hurt). Better to be careful. Stay alert, and do not get carried away chasing invisible enemies.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

Much ado, little sense.
