Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Queen of Wands
Upright
Courage, confidence, independence, social butterfly, determination
The Queen of Wands tells you that you are courageous and stubborn. You are here to see through your creative ideas and life goal, even in the face of difficulty. Being highly self-actualized, you know how to best direct your powers and vulnerabilities to reach your purposes. You are confident and full of ideas to share with other people. You know what you desire and how to take it, and are authoritative at engaging with others to accomplish your goals. Stay strongly determined on your purposes while being intimate and friendly with people around you.
The Queen of Wands asks you to be brave in your moves. Don’t be hesitant to own your power and put it out into the universe. You have so much to contribute – so it is time to shine! Believe what you stand for, and don’t be scared to speak up. No one will stop you.
Like the social butterfly, the Queen of Wands hints that you guide a busy life, making relationships with people and you track your imagination. You spread vitality – a natural intellectual leader who actively motivates others.
The Queen of Wands also tells that you appreciate being the center of attention and opening yourself completely to the external world. You can instantly win others over with your warm and charming character.
Finally, the Queen of Wands urges you to get to know your shadow character and your darker side. This doesn’t certainly need to be a negative feature of yourself but could be something that people don’t know about. Queen of Wands inspires you to share this side more openly with others – don’t be scared to show your shadow. It will allow you to relate to others on a deeper level.
Reversed
Self-respect, self-confidence, introverted, re-establish sense of self
The Reversed Queen of Wands indicates you have reached a place of confidence. You know yourself on a profound level, and you are open to your truth.
The Reversed Queen of Wands can also hint that you may be more introverted than normal. Instead of being the center of attention, you want to wait and watch what is happening. That’s absolutely okay – honor your needs and don’t force yourself to be extroverted.
If you have lacked in courage, the Reversed Queen of Wands suggests you bring your energy inward and concentrate on restoring your sense of flexibility. Discover who you are and be brave in revealing ‘you’ in everything you do, even if it is distinctive from what others require of you.
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.
Reversed
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.
The Reversed Seven of Wands can also mean you think others are permanently analyzing you. Your family or friends are doubting your preferences, such as staying in a difficult relationship or an unfulfilling job, and you desire that they could just keep their mouths shut and let you be!
The Reversed Seven of Wands may affirm that you are confused by the difficulties and duties in your life, finding yourself quickly covered under and unable to look at the greater picture. You may have taken on too many responsibilities. You may also worry that you must fight against others, leaving you feeling somewhat weak and helpless. Rebuild your confidence and believe that you can accomplish what you set out to do.
Lastly, the Reversed Seven of Wands can arrive when you are trying to avoid disagreement wherever possible and, as a result, you are backing down from your viewpoint easily. Is being affirmed and liked by others more mattering than competing for what you believe in?
