Seven of Pentacles

​

  

 

​The Seven of Pentacles suggests that a plateau has been reached during a period of hard work and effort. An awful lot has already been invested into a plan or project, and you're now reflecting over whether to persevere or take a new direction.

 

The number seven symbolises preparation and foresight, choices to be made, and challenge's to overcome that will, in turn, lead to spiritual growth. It often refers to inner journeys, spiritual awakenings, and events and situations that lead to wisdom and enlightenment.

 

When the Seven of Pentacles appear, you may be feeling anxious that a plan or project you've been working on is not bringing the results you were hoping for. The present time may have you feeling tired from all your efforts, and the future is unclear. Especially as you've yet to see any positive gain for the time you've already invested.

 

This earthly card points to long-term planning, denoting slow and steady growth, which requires patience, diligence, and careful attention to detail to cultivate success.

 

When you take a step back and gain clarity on a situation, you will better assess whether tangible results can be rewarded. You may need to make adjustments or edits to bear fruit for your project,

 

Although it may feel like hard work for little reward at the moment, you need to look at the big picture and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. This card often calls for a time of rest and reflection. Sometimes a fresh new perspective is all that's needed.

 

The road to success will often be full of bumps and disappointments along the way, but once the job is done, you will be empowered by your achievements and proud of your perseverance.

Reversed

 

​

If the path you're on leaves you feeling exhausted with low self-esteem, then maybe it's time to reassess your goals and ask yourself if a change in direction would be a better option. Your plan may have failed or not turned out as you expected. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate your options. Surrounding cards should add clarity to the situation.
