- standing your ground
- defence
- perseverance
- high ground
You have the high ground, but they keep coming. The Seven of Wands is the valiant hold: defending your position when it would be easier to quit. You're stronger than the pressure says.

- overwhelm
- surrender
- burning out
White-knuckle defence is still defence — but the arms shake. Overwhelm, giving ground out of exhaustion, or burnt-out stubbornness. Breathe, then ask what's actually worth holding.
