Seven of Wands - Seal Of Power

The Sentinel of Unyielding Will

“Victory is never final—will you stand your ground or be pushed aside?”

Seven of Wands in Tarot: A Symbol of Defense, Determination, and Holding Your Ground

The Seven of Wands represents courage, resilience, and the need to defend what you have worked hard to achieve. Unlike the Six of Wands, where success is celebrated, this card reminds us that success must be defended against challengers and external pressures.

Traditionally, the card depicts a lone figure standing atop a hill, fending off opponents with a staff. This signifies the need to stand firm, assert dominance, and protect your position, even when the odds seem overwhelming.

If you pull The Seven of Wands, it’s a sign that you are in a position of power, but challenges are arising—do not back down! Stay firm in your convictions and fight for what you believe in.
