# SEVEN OF WANDS The Seven of Wands shows a man wielding a wand from atop a hill. Six wands of opponents are seen coming at him from below as he fights to defend his position. Although it’s a six-against-one fight, the man is on top of the hill, suggesting that he has the upper hand. Upon closer inspection, it’s noted that he wears two different shoes. This suggests he’s struggling to find his footing or he was caught off guard when attacked and is demonstrating his ability to quickly adapt to the situation. One foot is on land, while one is in a stream, conveying he’s both in tune with his intuition and grounded as he takes action. Clear skies suggest that although he’s battling others, he’ll be able to overcome the obstacles in his path. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Challenges, defending yourself, challenging the status quo, opposition, perseverance, competition, fighting for or defending what you believe in, boundaries **역방향 (Reversed):** Defeat, surrender, exhaustion, burn out, losing battle, feeling overwhelmed, being your own worst enemy ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but there are others who would rather see you fail.
