BADGER IN A DREAM:
'Badgers are quietly determined and persistent. You also possess these qualities if you dream of a badger. It shows you're prepared to stand up for what you believe in, and will work steadily and persistently until you achieve whatever it is you're after. It also shows that you will quietly "badger" someone into action....
'The Chinese word for badger is a homophone of a word meaning "to be happy." Consequently, for the Chinese, dreaming of a badger is a portent of pleasant, happy times. If the badger is accompanied by a magpie (as it frequently is in Chinese art), it is considered a sign of great happiness and contentment.'

Seven of Wands's Meaning
'You almost certainly have great reserves of courage, and the perseverance to see yourself through difficult times. You may not be aware you possess these qualities, but you will find yourself needing them soon. Expect conflicts, possibly small, but more likely significant. It is not certain where they will arise, but there is no doubt you possess the ability to overcome your adversaries.'
NUMBER MEANING:
'There are many 7 references throughout ancient religion: 7 sacraments, 7 virtues, 7 sins, 7 petitions, 7 ‘gifts of the spirit’ – wisdom, understanding, cooperation, strength, knowledge, holiness. Seven is associated with the moon and therefore a number of reflection (symbolically from the reflection of sunlight from the Moon. Overall the implication is that this is a magical number; the person or thing referred to may be mystical and ‘all-knowing’ or desiring knowledge beyond all other things. A completeness which is gained only from true insight, but at the expense of an inward focus, aloofness and isolation. This completeness is symbolized by 7 as well as 3 and 9.'
