Seven of Wands

The "Sevens" in the Tarot Deck are associated with experimentation, courage, and risks. The nature of the risk may vary and can be positive or negative.

The theme of the Seven of Wands is of personal independence and the power of one's convictions. This incorporates experiencing the spirit of adventure and encouraging personal achievements.

This card often depicts a single figure - sometimes resisting (unseen or only partially revealed) external challenges. It encourages the sitter to have confidence in his/her ability to succeed despite opposition, yet also to be alert to the possibility of further challenges ahead.

It should be remembered that the number 7 represents victory - this card brings confidence, as well as advice to remain watchful and prepared to face further challenges.

 

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

  • Bravery
  • Defending ones own path
  • Success against opposition
  • Taking a Stand
  • Valour.

Remember that all of the Wands cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Wands with personal growth and the expression of personal spirit through our work, intellect, or creativity. For further information, also read about the Suit of Wands in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
