The meaning of the card Seven of Wands upright
When the Seven of Wands is straight in a Tarot reading, you may be involved in a conflict. Some conflicts may be worth fighting, but others are just problems. You need to check whether it's worth fighting, whether it will serve your purpose. Only then do you need to defend your position by being bold and aggressive. This card asks you to take a stand, an act that will change the flow of energy for better or for worse. Most of the time, events move everyone forward with the flow. Sometimes, people want to resist and completely change the course of the flow. By taking a stand, you initiate an energy of resistance. If you become aggressive, your opponent will become defiant. But before you take a stand, you must believe in yourself and your position. Otherwise, let the conflict go. Fight only if it's worth fighting for, even if you've already invested time and energy in it. If your cause is just, stand by your convictions as indicated by the Seven of Wands.
