7 of Wands as a Daily Tarot Oracle Card
Oracle Message: There may be troubles ahead… but you got this.
You may feel defensive today. You may feel that everything you do meets obstacle after obstacle. You may feel that you have to stand your ground over an important issue. You may even feel all alone – you against the world. All of that may or may not be true.
What is true is your indomitable spirit and your belief in what you’re doing. Not everyone will like what you’re doing. Some people will try and trash it. That’s their issue and not yours. If you find yourself faced with a detractor today, just remember the words of Jean Sibelius:
“Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a critic.”
Make the day your own, achieve the goals you planned and should you come head to head with an obstacle, push through. While the 7 of Wands indicates troubles ahead, it unequivocally tells you that you will overcome them all. It’s a tough day before you, but you will be successful in all you set out to do.
