Staying true to yourself and what you believe in sounds easy, right? Of course you always want to act with integrity, but in a world full of haters and Twitter trolls, sometimes the most radical move you can make is to follow your heart. This means fully expressing yourself through not just your creative projects, but also standing up for what you believe in (even if that means doing so all by yourself.) Going along with the crowd might be easy, but when the Seven of Wands appears in a tarot reading, you're receiving a cosmic reminder that doing what’s right might not be without obstacles, but it will be worth it—especially when you can help others, too.

Seven of Wands Upright Meaning
What can you do with your power and privilege? If something doesn’t feel right to you, then you should do something about it! This tarot card is telling you to make sure your voice is heard. Look for an opportunity to participate in a cause that’s meaningful to you, especially when it comes to advocacy. Use your voice to amplify others, whether it’s the rights of fellow humans, animals, or even protecting the Earth from the climate crisis. Stand up for what’s right! You are brilliant, strong, and resilient, and you can use your power for the greater good. You don’t need to compromise on who you are or what you believe in to make a situation more comfortable or palatable for others.
Seven of Wands Reversed Meaning
Don’t give up yet! It’s easy to say that you don’t care about others’ opinions of you, but criticism still takes a toll. We all want to feel accepted and liked, and unfortunately with more visibility comes more opposition and criticism. It’s so easy to talk trash on the internet, but just because someone says something nasty about you, doesn’t mean it's true. Haters are gonna hate, especially if you are being true to yourself, making noise, and doing something interesting and innovative. You can’t please everyone, and trust me, it’s far worse to go unnoticed. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always fighting an uphill battle, but don’t throw in the towel because of the cynical opinions of others. I mean, does it REALLY matter what they think of you??? NO. Stop reading the comments and show everyone what you can accomplish!
