Thanks Thirteen,
I like your more mundane view of the Ace of Swords in the Tenth.
On the Seven of Wands the question I was asked specifically mentioned an institution that would 'loom large' in the life of someone who had that card in the sixth. The Sixth House historically is linked to ill health (good health being the province of the first House and Ascendant) and this connection has led it to be extended to the health industry - doctors, nurses, etc. Now I usually take institutions as a twelfth House issue, not a sixth but the question specifically linked an institution with sixth House activities - I take the issue to be one where the sixth house activity will lead to the querent having to go to an instituion, rather than the question relating to an institution as such.
The only health issue I can see relating to the seven of wands is possible overwork by trying to do too much or a literal standing of ground leading to a physical conflict - though I think this is an unlikely health meaning. Given the sixth connection with ill health and the health service the logical institution that might get involved is a hospital or similar (doctor's surgery).
The sixth does have links with employment and service (and small animals such as pets). So I suppose there could be a standing of ground in the sense of sticking up for a course of action in a work situation. However not everyone works for what could be called an institution - and its that word and the primary rulership of the sixth - ill health that led me to the hospital scenario.
Your suggestion of someone being pressurised into risking their health might fit into this - though I believe you see it more as standing up against this risk.
Thanks again for the post - its made me go off and rethink a bit, which is always a good thing
