Description in booklet: A young hero is fighting a monster from the sea.
Poor fellow ... after he struggles to wrestle with a man, and get rewarded with a horse, he now has to struggle with a bigger monster, this time from the sea. However, this time he is described as a hero. The monster's mouth are wide open, ready to gobble up the hero who attempts to stab his throat or tongue with a wand.
We fight another battle, and as always, we are determined to win. The only thing is that we are dealing with a more natural and bigger force from the sea. Water is symbolic of cleansing, freedom and mobility. Hidden motives or the unconscious are sometimes symbolized by water.
Could the monster in the card be of our own making? Or is this an enemy more external to ourselves and therefore we need to once again have conflict?
The card is quite another challenge card - but in this case, we are now required to win, to take a stand, to stand our ground and not budge because there is a bigger risk at stake. In contrast to the 5 of Wands where we were wrestling with our kind, the 7 appears to be more symbolism ...
Who is our enemy? Would the monster as I said be us and if this were so, we need to take caution that our biggest enemy is often ourselves, our ego, our pride. We may be standing our ground on something that may not be right for us and for others. Or we may be thinking that we are dealing with enemies when in fact they do belong to their "habitat" - the sea and we are the ones encroaching on their territory.
Could we be initiating moves that are uncalled for, questionable or being resisted by others? And if so, would brute force or an authoritarian approach work considering that such approach may be detrimental to us and to others?
What is best way to manage this challenge? To begin with, what principles are we defending and adhering to that compels us to behave in both an offensive and defensive action?
When the card of 7 of wands appears, it may be better for us to re-evaluate our position -- are we on the winning side or the losing side?
What risks are we taking if we continue to fight, or retreat?
Are there other more constructive ways of dealing with the issues on hand?
If our monster is ourself, where have we gone wrong and why are we creating these fears and threats within us? What can we do to relieve ourselves of these anxieties?
