Key meaningsThe key meanings of the Seven of Wands:[3]
Common interpretationThe Seven of Wands is a card that when upright, means a testing time calling for courage and tenacity for long-term success. Reversed, the card could be interpreted as feeling vulnerable, insecure, tired and giving up, hopeless and often with feelings of guilt. Rider-Waite symbolismIn the Rider-Waite deck, the person braces themselves in a defensive pose against the other wands prodding in his direction. Looking strained and stressed, but standing firm, he appears to stand on a hill, or straddle a mountain range, to symbolise his strong footing. The Seven of Wands defender stands ready for battle. It is about defending the footing gained. It is the ability to cultivate the struggles at hand into a stronger position. He stands alone against a multitude, but perseveres. It is he alone who maintains the fight and is not beaten.
