Visual Description
A tall ornate lampstand topped by a glowing lantern radiates a sunburst against a purple starry sky. In front of it is a low wooden fence, some of its boards broken and fallen. Several carved jack-o'-lanterns with grinning faces cluster among the grass at the base of the fence. To the right, a small round scarecrow or mask with a red hat floats near the fence. The ornate border at the top displays the numeral 7 and the bottom of the card reads the word "WANDS."
Meaning
Under the lantern's fierce light, you stand behind a battered fence while jack-o'-lanterns grin leer at your feet, the wind lifting the smell of grass and burnt pumpkin. The scene tightens into a moment of pressure where you are called to hold ground, raise your staff and meet the small, persistent challenges marching toward you; your breath is sharp and your hands ache, but you feel the stubborn heat of resolve. Victory tastes of honest sweat when you claim the high ground and refuse to let the wooden boards fall away, and the lantern's glow feels like a small, steady ally. Yet the same tableau can warn of exhaustion, of a thin line between brave defense and stubborn depletion; if you cling to position beyond reason, you may become isolated, defensive, and unable to adapt. Listen for the laughter of the pumpkins and let it remind you both of the absurdity of some fights and of the necessity to pick only the ones worth keeping. Whether you push back with clarity or retreat to regroup depends on choosing when strength is noble and when surrender is wisdom, and the card asks you to trust your stance while staying alert to overreach.
