I missed a meeting with my class just now. My school is in Atlantic time and I'm over here on the West coast, so not having the right time set on my calendar is a fairly easy mistake to make, except that my professor sent multiple reminders and I just didn't double check everything this morning. I thought I had it figured out, and I didn't.
It's not a big deal. I won't fail because I missed one class, but it is a sign that I've filled my brain with too much stuff again, like trying to fit a mansion's worth of furniture into a VW bug. I do it to myself, of course. I add one too many projects onto my schedule and the entire stack collapses. And in the end, I miss an important meeting, I fall behind on several deadlines, or nothing gets done. Being overwhelmed and taking on too much is a very reversed seven of wands place to be. Let's see what I can do about it, shall we? 
Upright, the Seven of Wands is about standing up for your beliefs and defending what matters most to you.
Reversed, this card could mean giving up, giving in, admitting defeat, or feeling too overwhelmed to take any action in a difficult situation. Questions answered by the reversed Seven of Wands: Who? The overwhelmed person What? A losing battle; a waste of time Where? A debate; a meeting When? The middle of August; After defeat Why? “There’s always some relief in giving up.” ~Lauren Oliver Yes or No? No The reversed Seven of Wands as: …an action?
…a place in your house?
…a place in your city?
…a place in the world?
…something to eat?
…something to clean?
…where to find your missing item?
…a color? Orange, indigo …a movie theme? Giving up; changing beliefs
…a new career?
The reversed Seven of Wands Before any card: Give up on (card) After any card: Powerlessness; an unwinnable battle
So that's it, I guess. I should drink a smoothie and write a self-help book. I do have something in the works right now that I'll announce probably next week, but it's not really enough to make up for the class that I missed. I have a feeling I'll feel pretty defeated about my reversed seven of wands blunder all day.
