Card 28 • wands

Seven of Wands

Brief Description

The Seven of Wands symbolizes a situation where you feel the need to defend yourself, possibly against multiple challenges or adversaries. It suggests that you might be fighting hard battles, possibly more than one, or preparing for conflict based on a belief of impending threats. It prompts a moment of reflection: to consider whether the defenses you've mounted are necessary or if you're depleting resources on imagined fears. This card encourages reassessment of one's stance, suggesting that it might be time to lower your guard and redirect your energy more constructively, if no real threat exists.

Perception vs. Reality

"Come on, show me what you've got!" If it feels like everyone is out to get you, it doesn't mean they are. However, the opposite could also be true.

The Determined Witch and Her Cat

The witch and her loyal cat look extremely determined, ready to fight to the last, whoever their opponent might be. It seems as if the witch is about to beckon her enemies closer, taunting them to come forward. She is alert and on guard but not scared. However, it raises a question: is there really anything to defend against? Sometimes, if you've been fighting for too long, it can be incredibly hard to determine when it's finally time to lower your guard and relax.

Self-Reflection

Consider this: if the Seven of Wands appears in a reading, you are likely engaged in a tough battle, maybe even more than one. Or perhaps you're prepared for a fight because you're certain evil is being plotted against you. But is there truly a reason to be constantly on guard? Or are you wasting precious time, energy, and resources, always preparing for the worst, while in reality, all is well? Ask yourself: who am I defending myself against? Are they really after me, or am I just scared it might happen? The habit of being on guard is exhausting. Ensure that you resort to it only when absolutely necessary. If not, it might be time to redirect some of your energy into more productive channels.
