The seven of wands brings a competitive influence into a Tarot reading.

Courage and tenacity will be needed to overcome some kind of obstacle. This does not necessarily have to be a physical stumbling block. For this is more a card which speaks of academic and writing successes.

Symbolism in the Seven of Wands

Questions the person for whom this card has appeared should ask themselves are: are they ready for some struggle? Do they enjoy a challenge? Because the Seven of Wands suggests a competitive atmosphere around them.

Predictions in the Seven of Wands

What's ahead won't be easy and many a time the querent will feel like giving up. Some without their strength of character will probably have done so but when this card turns up in a spread, it suggests that the person has determination on their side. And it tells them that they must persevere.

They should be firm with themselves and they shouldn't give up hope. They're almost there but the competition is strong. Whether they're fighting against other people, a legal battle or a difficult situation, hang on in there. They've almost reached their goal.

Prophesy in the Seven of Wands

If they are a student currently taking examinations, it is likely that they will succeed because of the effort and determination they have put into their work.

In their job, they are apt to put their creative talents to use in their work and this will help add a touch of originality. Others might try to copy them but if so, they should take this as a compliment!

Teaching is also suggested through this card although not necessarily through a classroom of children or adults. Perhaps the querent is currently writing something which may be of help or benefit to others. Or they're thinking of sending a letter, or an article to a magazine.

Creative ability, intelligence and the need to put their knowledge onto paper all strongly come out in their Tarot spread.

Advice in the Seven of Wands

There may be some form of calculated risk ahead of the qurent but according to this card, they will make the right decision. At least, the right decision for them! Also if there is competition around them, they will be able to keep on top of this as long as they don't drop their guard.

Problems are ahead of them according to the seven of wands. But they can overcome these slowly, bit by bit. Anyone for whom this card appears should try not to take on everything at once. They should take one step at a time, be strong, believe in themselves and rewards will eventually come their way.
