Boundaries ...

Dear G***:

The Seven of Wands — like all Sevens — refers to a dilemma that is not going to be easily reconciled.
The question is: Do you take the easy way out? - in this case giving in to the masses and compromising your own integrity - Or do you hold your ground and risk further alienating your detractors?

The Seven of Wands speaks of a need to be more alert, guarded and cautious, rather than accepting things at face value. You may face opposition from others — in the form of competition or outright resistance.
You may feel attacked or ganged up on. You may also have to reconcile a “me against the world" attitude before it turns into a chip on your shoulder.

You're going to have to use discipline, strategy and cunning to see yourself through. But rather than fighting off someone trying to unseat you, you may be fighting off your own urges to see the grass as greener on the other side.

There are issues with boundaries present in this card as well, and it can manifest as feeling imposed upon or backed into a corner. But the same dilemma applies. You have to choose whether to give in or maintain your stance and deal with whatever repercussions result.

Think about the areas in your own life where you're feeling more guarded and alert. You may feel challenged or unsupported, and it may be hard to see your way around the obstacles before you.
You may have to explore uncomfortable feelings or conquer hidden fears. Whatever it is, know that you do have the tools at your disposal.

But the Seven of Wands is a card of bravery; of standing tall, holding your ground and proceeding onward even in the face of adversity.
Whatever happens this week — no matter how this plays out for you — you're going to be called upon to take the high road. You're going to be challenged to stand your ground and to not allow yourself to back down.
