Seven of Wands

Your position is worth defending. The Seven of Wands shows you on high ground, one wand against many — the challenge is not to win everyone over but to hold what is yours.

Exhaustion from defending too long, or defending a position that no longer matters. Ask whether this hill is still the hill.

✦ The Illustration

A figure on a raised plateau parries with a single lifted wand while six upturned wands press from below; their stance is braced, eyes forward, not afraid.

✦ Affirmation

“I stand for what I know, and I stand alone if I must.”
