Six quick picks first, then your reading

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.

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.

Seven of Wands for Libra

The Harmonizer

Libra is an Air cardinal sign ruled by Venus, whose natural subject is partnership, contracts, the other person, open enemies. Wands are the fire suit, so the Seven of Wands sits in Aries. Aries sits directly opposite Libra, so this card describes the half of the situation Libra habitually hands to someone else. What it wants is this: spend the energy on one thing today. Handing that to another person is exactly the habit. Libra is cardinal: it starts things, and this card is in the middle, which is the part cardinal signs are worst at staying for. Fire and Air feed each other, so this card's logic will feel natural here. Natural is not the same as correct. Upright, the assessment is being made alone, which is where it is easiest to be wrong.
