Seven of Pentacles

This would be a good time to step back and re-evaluate all you’ve put into something as a means of determining your next move. Do you proceed as planned? Change directions? Or throw in the towel and start all over again?

The Seven of Pentacles speaks of needing the patience and discipline to see something through, but can also trigger feelings of disappointment or frustration over that something taking too long to produce results.

That also brings in the potential that as those results develop they turn out to be not what you thought you wanted in the first place. You could be involved in a relationship that’s just not working out the way you hoped or a career-path that turns out to be unrewarding. You may be mid-way through a college degree and find yourself wondering if you should change majors, or moving half-way around the world and realizing you’re homesick.

The Seven of Pentacles — like all Sevens in the tarot — refers to delays, dilemmas and decisions that are not easy to resolve. It can represent a pause or a setback, a choice between disparate paths, or even a change in direction late in the game.

In this version of the card, the pentacles are etched with astrological glyphs that represent the seven visible “planets.” They’re attached to a tree that is half above and half below the surface, with the symbol for the earth (or world) in the center.

The Sun, Moon and Jupiter are all above the surface, while Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars are all beneath it. From an astrological perspective, this speaks of the potential for your project to grow, thrive and even prosper. It reminds you to take stock of how far you’ve come rather than focusing on what’s still holding you back.

The Seven of Pentacles is all about pausing and reflecting, and then making an informed decision based on your conclusions. It’s about testing the waters, taking the temperature, evaluating the progress and then deciding where to go from there.

Just like the four pentacles that are still beneath the surface in this card, if you are willing to give what’s dormant a chance to germinate and grow, it can be tremendously rewarding in the end.

This card is part of the Universal Wirth Tarot, a Lo Scarabeo deck, by author Giordano Berti and artist Stefano Palumbo based on the work of Swiss artist and occultist Oswald Wirth. Check out some other Wirth-inspired decks at the Tarot Garden.
