This week, the energy shifts from the intellectual curiosity of the Page to the fiery determination of the Seven of Wands. You may find 
yourself in a position where your ideas, values, or even your unique way of doing things are being challenged.
The Seven of Wands indicates that while you may feel like you’re "fighting uphill" or defending your territory, you actually hold the high ground. Your perspective might not be the "norm," and that is exactly why it is valuable. This card is a call to courage and stamina. It asks you to push through the noise—including your own self-doubt—and stand firm. Overcoming this friction won't just protect your vision; it will forge you into a stronger, more confident individual who knows exactly what they stand for.
