Seven of Wands

On this card five wands are attacking one defender. The five adversarial wands symbolize the marsian spirit of attack (Geburah). The two wands, which defend are becoming one in the hand of the self-assured self. Only by gathering ourselves and focus, we can become able to protect or defend an argument, against such strong adversaries.
Usually, the serpent is a positive character, but it must be seen in context to the surrounding symbols. In this case, the five venomous snakes are crawling up the attacking wands. They symbolize a powerful and offensive force but can also be a hint for treason and betrayal.
The time has come to defend an argument or point of view, or fight for others, who can’t defend themselves.
The goal here, is to stand up for something or someone. It becomes necessary, to define our borders and sharpen the own will, while our point of view is being attacked. Be cautious, not to be trapped in passivity, but to take your stand to act, when there is a chance to do so.
