Seven of Pentacles Tarot Card Description

Seven’s tend to be Tarot Cards which are associated with the mind. They can refer to psychic or intellectual abilities, as well as often being seen as a sign of good fortune. When this is combined with Pentacles (also known as Coins), which represent material matters and money, you can use your brain to bring a bonanza.

Upright Meaning

Sit down and put your feet up. You’ve worked hard and your efforts are beginning to pay off. For now, the best thing you can do is evaluate the progress you have made so far, and take time out to enjoy the results of your endeavours. Whilst you have been striving for success, it may have been impossible to stop and enjoy its benefits, but now is the time to kick up your heels or simply sit back and chill - whichever suits your style. Of course, you may be one of those people whose career is their hobby too. If this sounds familiar, and you are never as happy as when you are planning your next deal, a rest could see you gnawing the woodwork with boredom. You can consider if you need to continue to invest time and effort into your present scheme, or if a new strategy or direction is called for. Yes, a change can be as good as a rest. Think of the Seven of Pentacles like this; imagine a sculptor working on a block of marble, they need to know when to stop, or all they’ll be left with is some very expensive dust; perhaps it is time for you to step back and let events run their course. You may find yourself facing a crossroads in your life; this could involve your job, your family or a romance. You need to think things through carefully before you decide which path will suit you best. Your previous route may have been comfortable, but it is unlikely to fulfil your needs in the future - has the time come to move on? In general terms, the Seven of Pentacles invites you to accept that you have finished one project and that it is time to move on to new challenges.

Reversed Meaning

You’ve spent so long sitting on the fence, your bottom must be numb! You and your circulation need to get moving. Yes, thinking about a situation is reasonable, but now it seems to have become an excuse to avoid doing anything. If you don’t make a decision for yourself, fate or someone else will do the job for you, and you can’t really complain if the choice they make isn’t one that you like. Alternatively, you could be quite decisive but totally misguided, and the ideas you intend to put into action may be unrealistic or unworkable, so try to keep in touch with reality.
