The Seven of Wands Keywords: Courage, Defense, Self-protection, Patterns of Defensiveness
The Seven of Wands shows up when we feel like we need to defend ourselves. Sometimes this is the case, we need to state our reality to others and maybe even trully defend ourselves physically or legally. But most of the time this defensive energy is just a drain. We rarely need to explain ourselves to others (this is especially true with women) and it isn't our business what others think of us. We are our own special universe, just as valuable as the other 7 billion people on this planet, and no one can legitimately say otherwise. In a relationship reading this card represents someone who is very guarded emotionally. This will show up in various behavior. Either as deflection, aloofness, controlling actions or defensiveness.
Reveresed: I don't use reverse cards, as every card has inherently positive and challenging aspects, depending on the client and the reading.
