What this card is saying about what's ahead

What's unfolding points toward a stretch where you have to defend your ground — your work, your values, your direction. The Seven of Wands in the future opens a scene where holding the line matters more than winning everyone over. Keep the hilltop; keep the wand up.

On the card

A young man on a craggy eminence brandishing a staff; six other staves are raised towards him from below. Wands represents passion and the seven card represents agency. Together this card represents holding your ground on the subjects you feel passionate about. It's a challenge to your goal and your battle to continue towards that goal.

Upright
PerseveranceDefending Your PositionStanding Your GroundChallenge

You are being challenged from an unexpected foe-- perhaps your have realized your pay is not comparable to others in your role, or you need to give feedback to your partner about how they are treating you, or a close friend has told you something in confidence you are struggling to accept. You must face these challenges and handle them with dignity and grace.

Reversed

You're feeling of indignation and defensiveness is getting the best of you, causing you to lash out and not take the feedback you need to hear. Perhaps someone is challenging something you are very insecure about. Take a step back when you feel anger guiding your words. Try to understand what is at the root of your pain and unpack that topic instead. If you want to maintain the relationship with the challenger, speak to them and figure out a solution.
