Seven of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The seven of pentacles is often known as the "business card" of the Tarot.

Even so when it appears in a spread it doesn't always mean business success although it can suggest ways in which success may be obtained.

Symbolism in the Seven of Pentacles

Although the Sevens tend to signify a time of reflection and unstable circumstances, the Seven of Pentacles doesn't really point to the emotional side of things. Mainly, this card relates to money matters. It is saying that dreams can become reality. The path to success can be found if someone looks hard enough.

Seven of Pentacles in a Tarot Spread

Ideas are developed and they grow and sometimes the outcome can be profitable. It is possible that the person for whom this card has appeared will very soon find this out for themselves.

There will be a lot of hard work involved and they are going to have to believe in what they're doing. But if they think they can make a success out of a creative talent, a new idea or even by trying new directions, the Seven of Pentacles suggests that they're finally on the right road.

Predictions in the Seven of Pentacles

Achievements will be slow, so the querent shouldn't be in too much of a hurry. They have to look at the long-term rewards rather than what they can gain in a short space of time. Hard work will bring pleasing profits so they shouldn't give up if they feel things are going too slowly for their liking. They should be encouraged to just keep on making the effort.

More importantly, there are indications of money deals or the possibility of them entering some form of loan agreement and this card wishes to warn them of the possible pitfalls ahead.

In business, there's the strong possibility that they will find that work they have done in the past which they thought was all in vain, turns out not to be. Past hard working efforts are about to bring their just rewards ... perhaps in the form of a financial gift.

Seven of Pentacles Reversed

They may have a question in their mind about a financial transaction, and if so, they should perhaps anticipate delays and these may cause a degree of anxiety. If delays do occur, this card suggests that they perhaps shouldn't continue with these financial, legal or business deals, and don't borrow money. If arrangements have already been made, then again there is a chance that there will be problems ahead.
