Seven of Pentacles
Upright Meaning
A farmer leans on a hoe, gazing at a bush heavy with seven golden pentacles. The work has been done — the planting, the watering, the weeding — and now comes the hardest part: waiting. The Seven of Pentacles is the card of long-term investment and the patience it requires. The fruit is growing but not yet ripe. This card asks you to assess your progress honestly without either quitting too early or harvesting before the crop is ready.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Seven of Pentacles indicates frustration with the pace of return. You've invested time, money, or effort and the results aren't visible yet — or they're disappointing. The temptation is to rip up the garden and start over. But consider: is the investment actually failing, or are you simply impatient? Not every seed sprouts on your timeline.
