Welcome to the Seven of Wands, the place where life can be challenging, chaotic, and – strap your helmet on – turbulent.
We’re in for a busy month. I’m here to give you the insight and details you’ll need to turn your current sprint into a successful marathon.
NYC Marathon Runners
Speaking of marathons, did you know the NYC marathon is this Sunday? I’m not running, but I’ll admit I do get a little caught up in the excitement. I love the energetic buzz that it brings to the city streets.
With the race approaching, it got me thinking about how the marathon is like the Seven of Wands. The runners hold their ground, handle challenges, and commit to a successful ending. It’s also emotional – you need to dig down deep in those final miles.
Let’s take a closer look. 👀
The Seven of Wands shows up this month full of strength, courage, and determination.
It’s time to take a stand, hold your ground, and defend your position. Show the world what you’re made of. You’ve worked hard to get to where you are. And, now that things are heating up, so is the competition.
In tarot, the number seven is creativity and individuality. Sevens require you to step up and take control in a tough situation, manage your responsibilities, and find a way to succeed. They can be a test and also a maturing process.
Wands are the element of fire and are bold, bright, and – you guessed it – 🔥 HOT! They can represent the season of Summer and are also about freedom, creativity, adventure, and playfulness. Wands are passion, action, immediate change, ambition, and perseverance.
You may see the Seven of Wands show up as stiff competition for a promotion or project at work. Instead of feeling daunted, know that you have the skills, knowledge, and mojo to get the job done.
Integrity is important. Maybe you’ve reached a point in your life when you need to stand firmly on the (high) ground of who you are. This can show up creatively in your work or your beliefs.
The Seven of Wands can also be an important inner victory — time to celebrate a personal breakthrough, milestone, or success.
The imagery in the card is as important as the meaning itself. Check out my video for a short 411 on the picture in the card:
Did you watch it? Let me restate my last comment for impact: If you are in touch with your power and you are not afraid to use it, this will be over quickly.
To journal or consider:Â
- What do I stand for?
- How am I rising to a challenge?
- What am I defending?
- What am I unsure of?
- What do I refuse to yield?
- How does it feel to be courageous?
- What are my values?
- What’s my advantage and how will I use it?
- What shoes do I need to be wearing to get the job done?
What if you had a secret edge? What your competition doesn’t know is that you’ve got an advantage. They don’t know how fast you are on your feet, your integrity, persistence, or the amount of faith you have in yourself. Approach this month as a marathon. You are the runner.
Begin this month as you would a real marathon, full of grit, determination, and tenacity. Go after what you want. Show your strength of character. Defend your position. You decide how this race will end.
The holidays are almost here! I have been booking holiday parties, festive events, and private readings. Reach out now to schedule yours!
I wish you stamina and great success.
Until soon…
