The Seven of Pentacles depicts a man who worked hard in order to achieve success and is now taking a break to enjoy the blossoms of his work. There are seven pentacles hanging from the bushes, which he admires. He looks tired and while it looks tempting, he’s not picking his harvest up just yet.
The concept behind this card is fairly simple to understand. He thinks about long term success. He picks one pentacle, but he lets the others there, hoping they’ll get even better. Let’s find out what this kind of interpretation actually means for you.
Meaning of Upright Seven of Pentacles
The upright Seven of Pentacles is about work, effort and investment. If you worked hard lately, the card shows that you’re seeing some progress. You’re successful, but you want to take this venture even further by letting your investments grow overtime.
Such investments aren’t necessarily about money. Sure, the card could be interpreted financially as well, but such an investment can be made romantically as well.
Given the fact that such investments are left to grow also shows the fear of failing. You’re not sure whether or not you should reap these rewards.
Upright Seven of Pentacles in Love & Relationships
In a love reading, the upright Seven of Pentacles shows that your relationship can and will flourish, but it’s a slow growth. Life with your partner may look a bit tedious. You should focus on long term success, maybe even make some compromises.
The card is also a reminder that things can be good or bad rather than always positive. Also, it’s not all about romantic feelings but also about other aspects of your lives.
If you’re single, the card tells you that a good friendship may also become a romantic relationship. The people you meet now are more likely to become romantically involved with you later on.
Upright Seven of Pentacles in Career
There’s definitely some progress in your career. Sometimes, it’s obvious that things are changing for the better. Other times, you may not be able to see the progress, yet it’s there. Even if it’s slow, hard work will eventually pay off.
Since life is a bit slow at the moment, it could be a good idea to look at what you’re doing and perhaps make some changes based on what works and what doesn’t. It’s the best way to understand where to put more energy.
If you run a business, analyzing your craft could be useful, as you’ll be able to build a solid foundation for the future.
Upright Seven of Pentacles in Money
From a financial point of view, the Seven of Pentacles shows you that you’re about to get some rewards. They won’t come out of nowhere, though. These are the results of your hard work, whether it comes to your career, investments or just budgeting.
Progress seems to be more obvious financially. Keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll soon be able to reap the rewards. Obviously, once you get some money, you’ll have to spend wisely, rather than go back where you started.
Upright Seven of Pentacles in Health
The upright Seven of Pentacles is a good sign in a health reading as well. If you’re trying to change something (such as your diet or your fitness journey), the card indicates a good time to start. Evaluate your goals and make adjustments accordingly. You’ll most likely succeed.
The Seven of Pentacles is also seen as a card of manifesting goals. Even if you don’t have any goals at the moment, set some. You can do anything right now, break bad habits or start new habits. Your health is likely to skyrocket in no time.
If you’re trying to conceive, the upright Seven of Pentacles could be associated with a pregnancy as well. The card can also be associated with nurturing activities as well as growth. Therefore, the pregnancy is likely to be successful.
If you’re curious about someone’s feelings, the card tells you that they’re confident in your connection. That person is ready to put in some effort and they know you’ll do the same for them, meaning long term success is a matter of time only.
That person believes in this connection, so intentions are positive. They’re ready to dedicate themselves 100%. Intentions are determined and very strong.
You’re seen as a piece of security in someone’s life. You bring peace and happiness, hence the attraction towards your character.
As for what you should do, a bit of reflection is mandatory. Pause, as you have all the time in the world. Assess your circ*mstances and maybe make some changes before moving on.
Meaning of Reversed Seven of Pentacles
In a reversed position, the Seven of Pentacles shows that your rewards may not be that great. They’re scattered all over the place. If you have some expectations, results are usually far from them. The good news is you’ll know something’s wrong, so you’ll be able to make some adjustments.
Maybe you should stop investing energy into a particular project. Maybe you should stop pouring money into a business idea. Sit back and reevaluate your resources against your results. Again, this applies to both money and love.
Reversed Seven of Pentacles in Love & Relationships
In a love reading, the reversed Seven of Pentacles tells you that your efforts bring no rewards. You probably feel it already since you’re ready to give up on everything. You’re putting a lot of effort in, but you don’t see things changing. Love won’t just appear out of nowhere like magic.
Even if there is some progress, any love reading showing the Seven of Pentacles (in any position) indicates something slow. Even if there is some progress, and it may lead somewhere, it doesn’t mean you’ll see it. Sometimes, you just have to keep going.
Reversed Seven of Pentacles in Career
In a career reading, the card tells you that you put way too much effort into work or you simply don’t do it enough. It shows a lack of stability. There’s no balance whatsoever. No matter what you do or try, nothing seems to change. Results are like nothing.
But then, if you see it from a different direction, overworking isn’t always the most productive thing. Imagine your career as a plant. Overwatering will kill it and the same rule applies to you.
If this isn’t the case, the card could also indicate that you’re not working hard enough for something. It’s not always about the volume of work. Your priorities could also be wrong.
Reversed Seven of Pentacles in Money
In a financial reading, the Seven of Pentacles reversed shows failing investments. No matter what you put your money in, they won’t give you the rewards you’re expecting. And this isn’t all about money, but also about time.
Worst case scenario, you’ll lose everything. Best case scenario, the progress will be insignificant. Chances are you’ll be somewhere in the middle, so you’ll suffer some losses.
No matter how hard you work for these financial goals, when you see this card, it shows that you won’t be rewarded accordingly, so it might be wiser to leave them for now.
Reversed Seven of Pentacles in Health
When it comes to health, you’ve had some issues lately. Most of them were caused by yourself, rather than the universe. You’re less likely to have an accident. Instead, your bad habits could have caused these problems.
The best thing you can do is adjust your lifestyle. You need to push for recovery. Sit back, analyze your habits and determine which ones are hurting you. Making a few adjustments will get you back on track, no worries.
If you’re trying to conceive, the reversed Seven of Pentacles isn’t always a bad sign. Normally, you should look at other cards in the spread as well. Generally, the card tells you to look after yourself before trying to conceive, and things will get better.
In terms of someone’s feelings, the reversed Seven of Pentacles shows frustration. That person is exhausted and won’t resist like this for too long, meaning they’re ready to give up on your connection.
Their intentions aren’t the best, but they don’t do things because they want to. That person wants this connection to grow, but the past failures have convinced them to give up. They can’t see any results, hence the quitter attitude.
They feel good about you generally. You have many qualities and look like the perfect partner, but there’s something there that doesn’t feel right. Something’s clearly off. It’s not always about who you are, but also about that person’s perception and expectations.
As for what you should do, think twice before moving on. Since you can’t see progress, you might be doing something wrong, hence the necessity of some adjustments in your life.
Many times, it’s better to just call it a day. You should no longer push for something in particular. Things could get better if you stop and let those things come to you naturally.
Numerological Meaning of Seven of Pentacles
This is one of the main elements in numerology for the Seven of Pentacles, which is obviously associated with the number 7.
Traditional numerology suggests sitting back, rather than pursuing things. Hard work is, indeed, useful in life, but pushing too much becomes counterproductive.
Compared to other cards, anything represented by the number 7 is a bit difficult to interpret because you need to work for something, but it’s not advised to pursue it. There’s a very fine line between doing it right and overdoing it.
Astrological Meaning of Seven of Pentacles
The Seven of Pentacles is an element of Earth. While it has a few different associations, most interpretations relate it to Venus.
The energy comes from two different directions here.
First, Venus is a bit feminine. This planet is about beauty, but also about attraction. It could also symbolize abundance and not necessarily in terms of money.
On the other hand, since this is an earth card, it shows a material approach to life. But at the same time, it also indicates nurturing. The card asks for abundance but in a stable manner.
The Seven of Pentacles grabs all these energies at the same time.
Zodiac Correspondence of the Seven of Pentacles
Again, earth signs could go in a few directions, yet most interpretations of the Seven of Pentacles head towards the Taurus zodiac sign. In this particular case, the zodiac sign and astrological meaning go hand in hand.
This means people in Taurus are seen as materialistic, but they also have a nurturing nature. They work hard for what they have, but at the same time, it feels like they’re always seeking some sort of stability or balance.
Yes or No Meaning for the Seven of Pentacles
In an upright position, the card is a yes. Despite not seeing much effort, the card recommends going further. Stick to what you’re doing, things will get much better in the future.
On the other hand, in a reversed position, it’s a no. It indicates frustration. It also tells you that you’re tired, so you’re thinking of giving up. However, patience is extremely important in the future. If you’re willing to keep working, you may succeed, but take it easy and step back a little.
Key Actions
In an upright position, the Seven of Pentacles asks you to reflect on your life and what you’re doing. If you’re not happy with the results, change the plan. Something obviously needs some adjustment.
If you see it reversed, make sure you force yourself to be patient while making these adjustments. You’ve run out of patience, which is perfectly normal, but rushing won’t take you anywhere.
In conclusion, the Seven of Pentacles reminds you to plan wisely, be patient and be ready to adjust when needed, leading you to stability and success.
