Seven of Wands
This week’s Blog post Tarot Card is the Seven of Wands. Defending what’s yours. Keep on Keeping on. Don’t rest on your laurels. Others wanting what you have. Fighting to retain your position. The perils of being on top. The courage to go where angels fear to thread. Keeping your nose to the grindstone in order to keep ahead and stay on top. Courage. Bravery. “Back the heck up!” Fighting off the competition. Now that you are on top, the need to defend your position. ‘Keep on truckin’.’ Don’t let up now! This is the gits of what the Seven of Wands is telling you. You have succeeded at something you have wanted and now all your admirers are envious of you. They want what you have and are trying to knock you down and take your place. Others envy what you have and now they want it for themselves. So, this card is telling you, even though you have finally made progress or even succeeded at gaining a victory on a goal you had been hoping to achieve… now you have to continue that same pace and effort it took to acquire it in the first place in order to keep it. Isn’t it the way of humanity? Others cheer you on and support you when you’re trying to accomplish something and are the under dog. They cheer and applaud you when you succeed and win. But then they get jealous and envious of your success and want to take what you have or bring you down from your higher position. You can’t just shake your head and ignore them. They will topple you from the position you have worked long and hard at acquiring. You need to be vigilant and watch your back for others trying to take what you have. You need to keep working as hard at keeping what you have gained as you did at acquiring it in the first place. You can’t say “I did it! Now I can relax!” Nope!!!! There is always someone nipping at your heels ready to take your place. So don’t let up on your pace and don’t rest on your laurels. You need to keep working just as hard as you did to succeed in the first place, in order to keep it or advance further. On the up side of this card, it does show that you have succeeded in gaining a position or goal that you had worked long and hard for. You have made it and are now on top of things. That is a really good feeling and incentive to keep on excelling and pushing for your next goal. So keep on keeping on… keep doing what you’ve been doing at the pace you’ve been doing it. You may have to go where angels fear to thread and have the courage of David; but if you keep your nose to the grindstone, you too can get on top and stay there!!!
