Today’s Tarot: Holding Your Own
Our Tarot card for today, the 7 of Flames (better known as the 7 of Wands) is definitely a card of challenge. This card can suggest facing adversities that seem like an uphill battle—but it is also a card of overcoming those adversities.
The 7 of Flames says you’re a cut above the rest, that you’re playing on a higher level than those around you, and that you have what it takes to come out on top.
The 7 of Flames is a card of self-employment. The self-employed person is at the top of his or her game, and overseeing lots of projects (irons in the fire).
Also a card of being both the teacher and the student, this card is asking those of us with entrepreneurial flair what we still need to learn, because we might be facing a steep learning curve—but remember—we’re up for the challenge!
Sometimes, though, we may think or feel that the challenge is getting the best of us, and that it’s time to call it quits and throw in the towel.
But hold on a minute!
The 7 of Flames asks us to reconsider that option. There’s a saying that many people quit just before “striking gold.” You may be just at the point of discovering that very thing you need to succeed!
When the 7 of Flames arrives on the scene, we’re being encouraged to stand up for ourselves, to positively assert ourselves. Keep in mind that if this is a new way of being for you (Flames being about your image and how people identify with you), you might be met with some resistance. People may be intimidated by this new you, but don’t back down!
Don’t give up the struggle—you can hold your own.
