The Seven of Pentacles Card Meaning in the Tarot System

Seven of Pentacles

General Meaning

Patience is one of the cornerstones of a successful business and career. Within a year, your efforts will be rewarded with the pay they deserve. Do not worry if right now all your efforts seem pointless — they are not. Keep going, and your work will be crowned with success. The card points to matters being resolved successfully, despite constant self-doubt and the many obstacles and difficulties on the road to your goals. If the work is done but the desired results are still missing, then something extra needs to be corrected or done for those results to appear. The Seven of Pentacles indicates personal growth in the near future, though it will not be as rapid as you would like. Before starting a new business or occupation, weigh up whether it is worth doing — what the gains and losses will be. If you make hasty decisions, you may slow the process down even further. If your intuition tells you that now is not the best time to decide or begin something, ease off a little and devote some time to rest. Rest will let you put your thoughts in order, and a new, brilliant idea may well emerge.

Meaning in Situations

The Seven of Pentacles has two meanings. If it seems to you that everything you do is in vain, do not believe that feeling. In reality it is not so, and everything will work out for you. Perhaps right now you simply need a pause to consolidate the results you have already achieved. Your painstaking, patient work is driving slow but steady progress. Most likely, your financial situation will soon improve. If the spread as a whole contains negative cards, then this card takes on a negative meaning too. In such a situation, you should most likely abandon the project you have been working on so long and so diligently. Perhaps you have realized that, despite the enormous effort invested, you will not reach the result. Health problems may also arise.

Incomplete success. Dissatisfaction with the fruits of your labor, fatigue. A change of strategy is needed to reach the goal. A meager harvest.

Work

Large investments, small returns. A lot of work, little profit. Inefficient production. A change of approach is needed. This may be a period when resources are being invested in laying foundations, and patience is required until the investments start paying off.

Health

Nervous and physical exhaustion. Vitamin deficiency. Fortifying remedies are needed (vitamins, dietary supplements).

Relationships

Dissatisfaction with how the relationship is developing. Something needs to change. One partner constantly invests in the relationship while the other only takes. Or one works all the time while the other is left to their own devices, neglected. Both want something to change.

Personality Type

Eternally busy, dissatisfied, run ragged. Despite having everything they need, they are unhappy with their life.

Advice and Warning

Advises changing your approach to things. Warns of dissatisfaction with the result.

Yes or No

"No." Low returns; the result will be worse than expected.

Reversed Card Meaning

Think about it: your energetic push forward may lead nowhere at all. The situation you are in forces you to surrender, without argument, everything you fought for before. Your anxiety about money is well founded. Because of the financial problems you have run into, you will have to give up your project. Perhaps you took out too large a loan, or lent money to someone? You need to learn from your mistakes so that you can avoid them in the future.

Setbacks, getting stuck in failure; everything falls out of your hands. Too little is being done to achieve a serious result (invest little, receive little). Pointless behavior brings pointless results.

Reversed Meaning: Work

A very mediocre business or contract job. Work falls apart because there is no material motivation (or because the effort invested is seen as pointless).

Reversed Meaning: Health

A careless attitude toward health. Little attention paid to one's own well-being.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

Mediocre, stagnant, left to drift: "at least it's something rather than nothing — let it stay as it is."

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Inert about everything. Waits for some kind benefactor to come along and solve all their problems. Careless, indifferent.

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Advises taking minor setbacks more calmly. Warns that the poor result may stem from low commitment.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

Things will gradually move forward even without your involvement.
