Seven of Wands

A figure stands on a small hill, one wand raised against six rising from below. The Seven of Wands is the defending-the-summit card — you have built something, and now you must hold it against newcomers, critics, doubt. The card honours stubborn, principled defence.

Defensiveness without cause; or losing the high ground through exhaustion.

Past: a stand you took. Present: defend the work. Future: a position held through persistence. In relationships: standing your ground in love. As a yes/no: yes, if you hold the line.
