The pressure has become very heavy, and you may be on the verge of surrendering a position that still deserves to be held — or one that would honestly be better released. The reversed Seven of Wands sits right at the intersection of healthy surrender and unhealthy capitulation, and the most important task right now is determining which one is being called for. If you have been fighting simply out of pride or stubbornness, releasing the battle may be the most courageous thing you can do. But if you have been fighting for something genuinely important and you are considering abandoning it only because you are exhausted, that exhaustion deserves to be tended — not used as a reason to abandon ship. Rest is not the same as surrender. Know which one you need.
