The Seven Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Wands is depicted by a young man who appears to be standing on a precipice fighting for his land.

There are six enemies attacking below. If you have received this card in your reading, this symbolizes success against opposition and a certain victory through courage. Right now you are gifted with added perspective that your opposition does not have. You can see farther and wider so you can prepare for a potential attack if need be. This is an excellent card to see you through challenges so that you can come out the winner.

The important thing to do now is to make your point of view, or position clear and then stand by what you feel is the most important right now and do not compromise or try to settle for less. You are under a certain amount of pressure, but you have more flexibility than those that are putting that pressure on you, in this you have the upper hand. In time you will be able to understand the situation more clearly because the Seven of Wands is a card of inner strength and force of will. You are capable of pushing through any adversity.

One of the aspects of receiving this card is the notion that at this time you will need assistance from others. One of the great things about not living alone on an island is that we are able to bounce thoughts and ideas off of one another to better our life experiences. To learn, to grow, to be strong; to find what makes us happy and what does not and to learn to cast away more of what does not. With the assistance of others you will meet the obstacles that you are running into head on and push past them. You must not try to fight this alone, even though you are capable. There is something you need to learn from asking for help right now. You are a natural born leader in this instance, however, so others will look to you for instruction. In this they will help you and you will help them.

As it stands, because of your intense bravery and willingness to fight for what you believe in, you are already enlightened enough to understand that the environment and everything in it is all a part of one life spirit. This means that your ‘enemies’ so to speak, have as much of a relationship with you as your brothers and sisters. Together we are operating in the same sphere at the same time in order to progress at our varying levels. Understanding this concept will bring you more strength. Meditate on this.

Your belief systems may be put to the test now, because you have something to lose, but continue to have confidence in yourself and in those that you trust and you will have success in your endeavors. By confronting this challenge head on, you will be correcting any flaws that might exist in your beliefs to become more ironclad. The Seven of Wands is the almighty defender, ready to fight regardless of odds. This is what you are experiencing in your life. These are the odds that you must match. You can only fight for what you fiercely believe in. Consider who you feel you are fighting against at this point in time, are you treating yourself with trust and honesty? What about others? Do you trust others to be strong enough to help you? Examine these questions and see where that puts you in your current circumstance.

The Seven of Wands in Love

The Seven of Wands shows up in a reading to help you through some painstaking struggles that you are having to experience at this point in time. Basically, this man is fighting for survival, to protect himself and to protect the ones that he loves. And he does that at all costs. This is the same for you and your love life. Now you are fighting to save something that you believe in. If you are in a relationship, this shows a potential for a struggle to keep the authenticity and morale of the relationship which can at times be exhausting and challenging. This is a good time to ask for help in the form of relationship/marriage counseling. See if there is anything that you can do to help make the relationship work. The work itself is what the Seven of Wands is here to help you with.

If you are single, then take into consideration what about your personal life you are treating as a struggle. Why is it hard for you to meet people? What blocks are you experiencing? Who is metaphorically, or literally, stopping you? You must remove these road blocks with the help of your friends in order to move forward in love.

The Seven of Wands in Health

When the Seven of Wands appears in relation to your health, it is of key importance that you slow down. Right now you have a large amount of mental struggles that are causing you pain. You are thinking too much and that is making it hard for you to accomplish what you need. Your body may suffer from physical aches and pains due to the fact that you are holding on so tightly to the frustrations of your experience. You must let this go so that you can find healing.

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth speaks strongly to a new wave of competition in your business and trade life. These are challenges that you can definitely meet, but you want to make sure that you ally your forces with someone who understands where you are coming from. For example, if you have an idea about how to create a business, you will want to get a lawyer friend involved to make sure that you do everything right. The more friends like this that you have helping you, the better.

The Seven Of Wands As Feelings

This card in love readings as feelings means that they are unwilling to give up freedoms and begin a relationship. This card can indicate giving up their ground and moving towards being emotionally defensive and focusing on their mind. The person is determined in the choice that they have made and nothing will change their mind. For feelings, this can indicate they are in a corner and they cannot get out of it. The more they push the person the more they will back off and might end up falling off a cliff and never to be seen again.

The Seven Of Wands in the Reversed Position

Because of the fact that you are a natural-born leader and the Seven of Wands is encouraging that side of you to thrive, there are going to be points when others are intimidated by your leadership skills and will desire to challenge or fight with you. You will have to put up with some jealousy which will be inconvenient for you. But again the importance here is to tap into your intuition to make the right decisions on how to handle these situations while still keeping your character intact.

The Four of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

When faced with the Four of Pentacles in a reading it can indicate a great success in your life but also calls for balance.

Like the man on the card, there is wealth around you and it can be a time to protect your ideas, money, or other material aspects. It is a positive card though as well. Having this card in your reading shows that you actually have items or ideas of in your life value that are worth protecting. Now is a time that you want to focus on bringing together the aspects of your life in which you feel wealth or success and build upon them. The Four of Pentacles is a grounding card and you may want to take stock in the things that you do have in your life, rather than what you do not have.

The Pentacles as a suit tend to have dual meanings to the cards, more so than any other suit. This is because there is difficulty in sorting out the energy at hand. It is very easy to give into the temptations of stability, wealth, or monetary items. More than any other suit, the call of the energy is easy to give into and there is usually not an instant consequence for doing too much when concerning the pentacles. Unlike fire where if you give in, you see passion or anger right away, the pentacles can cause stubbornness or sluggishness in your life before you even realize it.

The Four of Pentacles warns against guarding too much. While you have excess in some areas of your life, it is a call to share your joys rather than hording them to yourself. Consider ways in which you are not giving like you should or where you are being selfish in ways that are not to your benefit.

The Four of Pentacles in Love

In love, especially in a relationship, the Four of Pentacles indicates that you are likely guarding your relationship too close or holding on to someone too tight. It could also be that you are experiencing this from a partner. Either way you are dealing with almost a suffocating aspect in a relationship where there is not room enough to breathe. You need to focus on ways to make your relationship more open and free in order for the relationship to thrive.

When looking for love the Four of Pentacles indicates unrequited love. The energy of the card is intense and often too much for a budding relationship. Be sure that the affections that you are putting out at this time are ones that are working for you. Watch how others around you are receiving your attentions and be mindful of their wiliness to reciprocate. Avoid wasting your own time on avenues that are not going to develop and focus on ways in which you can show your affections without coming on too strong.

The Four of Pentacles in Health

With the Four of Pentacles energy around your health it can give a mixed signal. On one hand there are definitely things to be celebrated in health but then you have to also focus on specific health issues. Rather than having a focus on health and wellness right now, pay close attention to what your body is telling you. It is likely that issues revolving your health are forming due to either high stress or increased worry. You may find that issues related to laziness are also exacerbated at this time.

The Four of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Like the man on the card, right now is likely a time to be holding on to your wealth and keeping your monies close to you. It is certainly not a time to put yourself out there or to take a risk. Focus on areas of wealth that you can build on in the future and make sure that you sort out any budgeting or planning. In the work arena you want to be exceptionally careful about who is sniffing around your work right now. Either due to keeping a project secret or wanting to make sure that others are not taking your ideas and using them as their own. Not to say to be paranoid, but you really want to cover your behind in the work area to make sure that you are getting the credit where you deserve.

As always you want to be wary of being paranoid or sketchy. The card doesn’t tell you to share at all. In fact, it can be a good idea to give SOME information out to coworkers, especially if you are required to work as a team. It’s just a card to tell you to take extra caution at this time… more than you normally would.

Reversed Four of Pentacles in a reading

The Four of Pentacles in the reversed position is a much more laid back card then when viewed upright. The reversed position says that you need to take time to allow yourself to experience generosity and freedom. Rather than instructing you to old on tightly to things or ideas and to seek balance while keeping these aspects to yourself, the reversed position allows for the sharing of excess. There is still a call to seek out balance but it is more of a suggestion than a demand that is placed upon you. When in the reversed position it can be a great time to plan for the future and start a new project. You have the ability and the time to dally along your path right now and you don’t have to make any hard or fast decisions. It’s a good time to consider the next step in a relationship or be open to casual relationships that have a strong potential to grow into more.

The one big caution found with the reversed Four of Pentacles is that it can represent an abuse of power around you. It is usually less of an indicator that you are the abuser and more of an issue of someone around causing problems because they are abusing their status. Typically this will be seen in the work place as a person who is not a boss or management, but a person who is acting more important than they are.
