Seven of Wands

Traditional Meaning

Strength of character. Wilfulness. Courage. Having the determination to succeed. Pride. 

Going Deeper

When this card appears, it usually indicates having to stand your ground over a principle or ethic. There is a lot of energy and willpower here but also a caution to check that you are standing firm for the right reasons and not just being childishly obstinate because you're not getting your own way. There is the possibility of courageous action if the will is used for the greater good. There is a certain amount of arrogance inherent in this card, and care needs to be taken to ensure it's not out of proportion to the matter at hand.

Astro Insight

Mars in Leo, which is willfulness and dramatic action.
