I. Seven of Pentacles Rider Waite image description

The Seven of Pentacles depicts a young man taking a break after a long day of labor in his harvest season. He has worked hard for a long time and did not mind taking care of his garden. The luxuriant foliage and blooming flowers are the metaphor for his hard work paid off. He stared at the coins hanging from the tree as if he was calculating specific numbers for his efforts. Finally, he was able to rest and admire the work and the fruits of his labor.

The picture on the Seven of Pentacles depicts a man standing in his garden who has worked hard for a long time. It seems he received the results for what has done. He was resting a bit and was proud of his achievement so far. Success always brings a sweet and satisfied feeling!

This card is also a call for an evaluation. When we are busy, we do not always have time to scrutinize what we are doing and the reason why we do it, whether we are on the right track or getting the results we want or not. Those major problems will arise if you do not consider and evaluate appropriately at critical times. This card also suggests you take the time to ensure that you are following the right path to achieve the goals you have set.

It also represents a state of confusion. In real life, people tend to maintain what is familiar. Changing orientation is not easy. This card can be a reminder to find out whether you need to adjust or even change your life comprehensively or not.

This is not a card of termination or ending. The match is not over yet. Once you have regained your strength and completely evaluated the strategy you are pursuing, be prepared to return to work and work harder than ever.

You may need to decide whether to put effort into things, people, or situations that you are involved in or into things that bring sweeter fruit to your own life or not. Let’s make a wise choice.

Work

Your job is likely to progress smoothly and you will get the rewards or achievements due to previous efforts. This achievement may come to you sooner or later. The financial situation seems to be quite positive and you will surely get more than before.

Love

In terms of love, the Seven of Pentacles is a prediction that everything related to the person you love will go well. If you do not have a lover yet, you need to be open to other potential relationships. Do not let yourself fall into feelings of suspicion or fear. Everything will get better.

Finance

This card is a very good sign in terms of finance. You will have a wise investment that can be one of the traditional forms of investment or investment of time and effort. However, you should remember that this is not the time to invest riskily. Being cautious and thoughtful about investing what you have (especially what you have just got) is the key to a successful decision.

Health

Your current health status is the result of previous lifestyles and behavior. It is never too late to improve your health. You will reap what you sow. Even if your time and energy are exhausted because of the circle of daily life, you can always spend a few seconds thinking positively.

Mentality

You will be directed to the fact that life is a full circle and what we do today will certainly bring about future results/consequences. When you are living generously in terms of time, energy or money at the moment; it is an investment in your own future.

Situation and advice

On a positive side, the Seven of Pentacles implies that you have the ability to feel you have wasted time on a project, but it turns out to be not. You have reached a reasonable position to pause and evaluate the development of an ongoing business. Your patience is creating gradual and steady growth in your work. There is still a lot of work to do and your efforts will eventually pay off, however, this is not the time to stop trying. Your financial situation is changing in a better way.

On a negative side, it carries a less favorable meaning. You may feel like you are giving up a project that you have spent a lot of time on and have a hard time developing. You may realize that you will not achieve the goal after all the work that you have done. Your health may be impaired perhaps due to an incident, a metabolic imbalance, or an infection.

Introduce

Overview

The Seven of Pentacles reversed urges you to clearly define the meaning of success and think about how your goals will be met. This is not the time to live a goalless life. Be realistic!

Work

It is likely that you will become more and more bored with your work. You should spend some time and effort to find out what is the reason for this feeling and let your mind be clear about things that can help change your current situation (or that change may start from you). You do not necessarily need to quit. Let’s think carefully and be lenient about other issues.

Love

In terms of love, you need to know that no relationship or nobody is perfect, including you, no matter how hard you try. If you are in the process of finding true love and fail constantly, maybe you are having unrealistic fantasies or idealizing excessively the standards of your future lover.

Finance

The Seven of Pentacles reversed is a sign that you should set goals and financial plans accurately and specifically. “Saving enough for retirement” is not a clear goal. “Paying $3,000 per month to maintain life until the age of 100” will be a more reasonable and specific one. Let’s think big.

Health

In terms of health, you need to be clear and specific when setting relevant goals and plans. How you want your health to happen, and how you deal with health problems. Sometimes, goals need to be accurate in every detail. You should set a small and easy goal to improve your health, such as walking 3000 steps a day for a week or eating lots of fruits and vegetables at least once a week. You can take daily notes and gradually raise your goals to a higher level. The key here is the performance, not just a perfect plan.

Mentality

Seven of Pentacles reversed implies that you may feel depressed and lack of satisfaction in terms of spirit. This may be the time for you to withdraw from mental activities/organizations to take time to rest. You can also talk about your thoughts and learn from other people with similar perspectives as you (even from people with different perspectives from you). This card wants to remind you that your everyday spiritual life needs a little adjustment in the direction of the better.

Situation and advice

There is a possibility that you have no progress. You may fall into a situation in which you surrender too soon due to feelings of despair or frustration. There is no doubt that the concern about money is filling your mind. Perhaps, you have abandoned a business because of financial problems, such as excessive borrowing or overpayment.

It is important to learn from your mistakes so that you can do better the next time. In a state of collapse, you also need to protect yourself against health problems caused by infection or by internal issues.

Human

Those who give up due to exhaustion or fear, impatient people.

In a Tarot spread, the Seven of Pentacles is a card of resting and enjoyment. This card represents peaceful moments to regain strength and evaluate the quality of results after the huge amount of work we have completed. In a Tarot spread, it may indicate a reward for your efforts that will come soon. Just receive and enjoy it.
