7 of Wands

The Seven of Wands increases the complexity of action. Strength now has to be held in a less predictable setting.

What the card shows

The weave is made of six braided staves and a seventh standing at the centre. The numeral sits in the margins, right and left, like a marker.

Its light

Sorting what deserves an answer saves time and makes your word rarer, so more listened to. What you let pass leaves no mark on you.

Its shadow

Holding every front at once thins the strength that holds the one that matters. You answer every jab, and what matters waits its turn.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. At the seven the count turns odd again and one shaft returns to the vertical: this asymmetry separates odd numbers from even ones.

What this card invites you to do

Hold on to what matters and let the rest be discussed without you. One stave raised in the middle of the tangle is enough: firmness carries better when it stays rare and precise.

A card does not decide for you.
