Seven of Wands
Upright
Challenge, competition, protection, perseverance
After the victory of the Six of Wands, you are now in an enviable position and are being protested by others who want to take your position. You worked hard to get to where you are, but some people desire what you have and try to fight you for it. It makes for tense and aggressive conditions because you need to preserve what you won and must constantly explain yourself.
When the Seven of Wands shows up in a Tarot reading, wait to see an increase in ‘enemies’, trolls and people who oppose you. You will need to defend your area and fight for what you stand for.
The Seven of Wands may appear when you hold a controversial viewpoint or wish to voice your idea in a public discussion. Be ready to defend your argument. Stand firm in your opinion of what you believe so that others do not plunge you from your peak of self-confidence.
Sometimes, this competition may catch you by surprise, and you feel insufficiently prepared for such a conflict. Just like the man in the card has hurried to put his footwear on and ended up with an incompatible pair, you must struggle to compete.
Establish clear boundaries and then protect your dreams so that others could not mess with you. Hold your territory and defend your position at all charges. Keep battling for what you believe in and face those who may attack or abuse you.

Exhaustion, giving up, overwhelmed
The reversed Seven of Wands hints that external stress is pulling you down, making you doubt yourself and whether everything is worth it. You could feel that you are under continuous opposition. At first, you could keep firm, but after a constant struggle, you are now tired and ready to give up completely. Be strong, don’t change who you are just to make other people happy.

Rebuild your confidence and believe that you can accomplish what you set out to do.

Reversed
Personal goals, inner alignment, fear of unknown, lack of planning
