Waite-Smith 塔罗（1909）
Seven of Wands
The Seven of Wands shows a figure on higher ground, fending off six wands from below. It is the card of the defended position — holding your ground against pressure.

正位牌义
It is a card of valour, for, on the surface, six are attacking one, who has, however, the vantage position. On the intellectual plane, it signifies discussion, wordy strife; in business--negotiations, war of trade, barter, competition. It is further a card of success, for the combatant is on the top and his enemies may be unable to reach him.
逆位牌义
Perplexity, embarrassments, anxiety. It is also a caution against indecision.
这张牌在做什么
It represents the strain of maintaining an advantage once won. It appears when you must keep proving it. The height is real; so is the fatigue of defending it.
文化与传统的读法
In the traditional reading the Seven is valour and success in the fight. It has long been read as discussion, trade war and competition, and by reversal as perplexity and indecision. The vantage is held; the attackers have not reached you.
取决于你当时的感受

- If you doubt: the position is sound, hold.
值得想一想的几个问题
