• Challenge

The card of the Seven of Wands is all about taking a stand. Taking a stand implies a forceful act that changes the energy flow of the world for good or bad. Most of the occasions, we flow with our lives as if on a stream. Events and feelings carry us forward with little effort. Sometimes, though, we are not content to drift. We want to resist the flow, or change its course entirely!

The figure depicted on the tarot Seven of Wands appears to be in a battlefield. He is either attacking or himself under attack or perhaps probably both. When we decide to take a stand against something, we set in motion energy of resistance. When we take up a firm position, others around us also do the same. The Seven of Wands stands for defiance and aggression because they are both two sides of the same coin. You attack; then your opponent defends. He counterattacks; then you defend.

Some battles are worth fighting, others just cause unnecessary trouble. If you are involved in a conflict, ask yourself if it's worth the trouble and struggle you are going through. Is it that important? Does it have any value anymore? Will the outcome serve you or peel you off your self-respect in front of others? If so, be aggressive and bold. Defend your position. Refuse to yield to them! If not, then consider letting the argument go. Be honest with your highest self about this. You will be tempted to hold onto your position, especially if you have invested much energy and time into it. The Seven of Wands can also indicate positive and strong convictions. In order to take a firm stand, you must believe in yourself. You'll need strength and integrity of character to see you through. If your cause is valid, use the energy of the Seven of Wands to make a difference in your life as well as others you care for.
