7 of Wands
Meaning
Mars in Leo — Valour This card derives from Netzach (Victory) in the suit of Fire. But the Seven is a weak, earthy, feminine number as regards the Tree of Life, and represents a departure from the balance so low down on the Tree that this implies a loss of confidence. Fortunately, the card is also attributed to Mars in Leo. The army has been thrown into disorder; if victory is to be won, it will be by dint of individual valour — a 'soldiers' battle'.
Elemental Dignity
You stand at the pinnacle of courageous assertion, where your fiery resolve is sharpened by the intellect and clarity of air. The force of Mars in Leo is refined into strategic bravery, allowing you to defend your ground with noble confidence and unwavering focus. In this exalted state, your valor is not mere bravado but a conscious, masterful expression of inner strength and leadership.
The force of Mars in Leo is clouded and disrupted when overwhelmed by the fluid confusion of water, leading to reckless aggression born of insecurity and fear. You may find yourself embroiled in chaotic struggles, your courage devolving into stubborn obstinacy or destructive pride. This distortion breeds isolation, where valour becomes a desperate, lonely fight against unseen tides.
