Angel Paths for August 22 - Seven of Wands
msesheta
The Seven of
Wands
The Lord of Valour can best be summed up by the
phrase 'feel the fear and do it anyway'. It is a
card about encountering demanding and formidable
situations in life, and having the courage to be
true to your own desires, ambitions and needs.
Life is full of challenges. And sometimes we
find it difficult to seize the moment, grasp our
opportunities and live life to the full. The 7
of Wands comes up to indicate that you are
facing one of those momentous happenings in
life, and advises you to believe in yourself,
grab your courage in both hands and go forward.
This will not only apply to difficult things -
it can also point out to you that there is an
opportunity to make your wildest dream come
true, if only you will throw caution to the
winds and dive right in!
The Lord of Valour is an exciting card, but when
it comes up you will probably also feel a bit
apprehensive. Don't let caution dampen your
enthusiasm. Go ahead! Fight for what you want.
If you do, you'll stand a good chance of getting
it.
Because Wands are a suit much concerned (at
their deepest level) with the ethics of right
living, there is another instance when this card
might show in a reading. That is when you find
yourself in a position where you are forced to
fight for what you believe in. Whilst sometimes
reluctant to take up the fight, you will feel
compelled to stand up and be counted. Identify
this aspect if you have the Aeon (the Last
Judgement) or Adjustment (Justice) coming up.
Often, if we acquit ourselves well in times like
these, we will achieve major progress in our own
spiritual journey.
And remember - there's no courage without fear.
If you don't feel fearful, courage is not
required!!
Working with the Seven of Wands
The Lord of
Valour reminds us to take stock of our inner
reserves of courage and strength. It will often
come up to mark times where great change is in
the air, where momentous decisions need to be
made, and where we must grasp the moment.
On a day ruled by the 7 of Wands, the most
important thing is to be alert for opportunities
and great chances. Often these come up
completely out of the blue, and must be seized
without hesitation. This card often marks those
apparently coincidental occurrences which begin
a chain of events that leads us into a decisive
and fulfilling life change. So pay special
attention to everything that happens today.
And at the same time, keep a running check on
your own feelings. If today is the day upon
which your dearest dream comes true, how will
you feel? Are you ready to let change run in
your life? Are you prepared to take risks? And
do you feel that today, you trust yourself?
If you encounter resistance of any sort on a day
ruled by the Lord of Valour, remember that this
card is about being true to yourself, following
the voice of your own heart, and protecting your
needs and hopes.
This is a day in which you need to believe in
yourself. So hold hard against anything which
interferes with that. Refuse to allow anything
(or anybody) to undermine you. And keep in touch
with what you believe to be true. And if you do
all those things, today could bring miracles
into your life!!
Affirmation: I
welcome life and embrace opportunity.
