Divinatory Message: The 7 of Pentacles indicates solid development, spiritual perfection (the number 7), completion of a cycle, inner-wisdom and the inner-self.

All number 7 cards relate to the Major Arcana card of The Chariot (7) and represent a moment in which you may doubt or question yourself. It marks a “pause” before continuation, in this case before either doing something or financial considerations.

A few keywords upright (U): business, limited success, positive changes, forethought, decisions, contemplation, material securities, rewards for work well done.

Upright Interpretations:

1. Appearing in a reading, the 7 of Pentacles indicates a time of solitude and and asking questions of the inner-self. It implies there is a focus on limited successes. If this is the case the card counsels to plan your next move carefully and there should be a welcomed change to your financial position.

2. A sudden change or option may present itself when this card appears in a spread. There are important decisions to be made and they will require clear communication in order to come to the right conclusion/decision. Discussions can lead to success.

3. The Seven of Pentacles tells you to be patient. Do not be overly anxious if a delay or postponement occurs in regards to some financial negotiations. All is going to plan, so use the time of delay constructively to plan your next move.

4. A slow, steady rise in income may happen when the 7 of Pentacles presents itself in a reading. Now is the time to start a new savings account or savings plan.

A few reversed keywords (R): impatience, stress, delays, postponements, anxiety, disappointments, concerns regarding financial aspects.

1. The Seven of Pentacles reversed can imply that you have more money going out, than coming in.

2. Reversed, the 7 of Pentacles tells of a lack of energy and enthusiasm; a heavy, burdensome work load and depressive, negative emotions. It also speaks to a feeling of anxiety related to finances or the lack thereof.

3. Appearing in a reading, the reversed 7 of Pentacles may imply that a friend or family member may try to gain a loan or request financial assistance. Use your powers of discernment and do not concede if you have doubts about debts and/or repayments becoming a financial burden from them.

4. The reversed 7 of Pentacles appearing in a spread is asking you not make any rash or hasty decisions when it comes to business and finances. Impatience can ruin everything. To act in haste without taking appropriate time for consideration of all options, will ultimately lead to failure. Do not take financial risks at this time.

If you are attempting to read cards for yourself or others, these are just a few interpretations of the card. As you become more secure and proficient at reading cards, you should be able to come up with your own intuitive meanings of this card.

Until next time.

Be Good to Yourselves.
