The Seven of Pentacles is connected to the element earth and the planet Venus, as it’s associated with organic growth cycles, abundance and the material realm. This card can represent a transitional period where you’re working towards achieving a goal and waiting to see the results.
The Seven of Pentacles can show that you’ve been doing the work and now it’s just about sticking to the process and being consistent. This card can represent a time where you may be in the grind which can become repetitive and monotonous. Because of this it’s important to not lose sight of your goal so that you keep showing up and doing the work.
The Seven of Pentacles Meaning
This card symbolizes something that you’re investing your time, energy and resources into which you’re waiting to see results with. This card can also represent planning for the long-term or something which will produce long-term results.
The image on the card shows a man tending to his investment and waiting for his crop to grow. The man has his hands and head resting on top of his garden tool as if thinking about the time when he finally reaches his goal and can enjoy the fruits of his labor. The expression on his face looks tired and maybe even a little defeated or worn out from the process.
This shows that while having a goal is a worthwhile pursuit, the process will not be easy and will require your strength at times. So the Seven of Pentacles shows that achieving a goal requires consistent work and effort and that in order for this to happen you need to commit to seeing it through.
Therefore, when the Seven of Pentacles comes up in a reading it can mean that you may need to wait a bit before you receive the fruits of your labor. But if you keep at it, your hard work will pay off. Alternatively, the Seven of Pentacles can also represent things like slow growth, reevaluating your investments and/or rewards from your efforts that are not equal to the work you put in. Always look to the cards around it for clarification or to get a deeper meaning.
