The Seven of Wands is a card of defense, as we find ourselves "under siege". Criticism and attacks from other people are likely to occur when this card comes up. It's also a card of resistance, so whenever it appears in a spread, the natural flow is blocked. The Lovers is the card of love, of love triangles and choices. It's about acknowledging who/what will complete us and about making (or not) the choice to pursue the object of our desire.
The elements of the cards are Fire (Seven of Wands) and Air (Lovers). An intense and active combination that strengthens the energies of the two cards. Either negative or positive, the dynamic of the cards will be intensified by the interplay of their elemental influences.
