Seven of Wands + Six of Swords, Maker's + Schitty

Stand up for your truth and bide your time for advancement and desired change.

The first card depicts 'the creative process of making knotted lace by hand'
The card speaks about "tougher than they appear", and that "it is time for you to stand up to those who may seek to rip you apart or tear you down". People who are, in one way or another, trying to 'hamper or question you creativity'. Or as this version of the W7 says: 'take you down'. It sometimes tells the story about 'friendly competition' and such, but not this one.
This one talks about people actively wanting to stop us someway somehow, probably not at all happy about our (maybe newfound) desires.

And - we may have to stand there 'in defense of ourselves' for a while!
S6 rev: "there is a need to escape, but your plans are delayed"
"You may feel frustrated now by the lack of progress, but stay focused and grounded and you time will come"
We see a double message of 'perseverance', as well as 'obstacles'.

Maybe a "new life" (#SchittyTarot ) is suddenly desired though we hadn't even thought about it before.
Suddenly 'even our hair color feels wrong', metaphorically speaking.
We are probably as chocked as those close to us by this unexpected shift.
And now all we feel is frustration, and all we can see are hurdles and people (opinions) standing before us and our 'future'.

Again, the advice is to 'stay strong', focused, grounded and creative (#MakersTarot ).
