The Seven of Pentacles, after all, is all about reaping the benefits of your work. If you’ve been working on something for a long time, now is the moment to start seeing results. If you get this card, you probably already know what you’ve been working on – whether it’s a big physical project, a little personal project, or even a project to further clarify and define your own self – and you’ll start seeing actual results soon.
A Tree That Grows Slowly Also Grows Strong
This card may be telling you to take a moment to reflect and realise how far you’ve come. We don’t always realise how much work we’ve done because we’re continuously working – we don’t have time to look back and see what we’ve accomplished. The Seven of Pentacles is pleading with you to do so right now. Stop for a moment, take a glance around, and compare your current situation to where you were a year ago. Do you see the distinction?
Finally, this card encourages you to begin recognising your own efforts. Even when we look back with the intention of recognising how far we’ve come, our own negative thinking frequently blinds us to our progress. We think to ourselves, “That’s not very remarkable,” and “Others have gone farther.” Never compare your life to the lives of others; they will never have the same experiences as you, therefore comparing is pointless. Take a moment to pat yourself on the back and appreciate everything you’ve gone through to get to this point. Make a note of everything you’ve done in the last year; you may be surprised.
When you encounter this card in your readings, here are some questions to ask yourself. What do you regard your own personal garden to be – a project, a hobby, or some other activity? How far have you progressed in terms of your objectives and accomplishments? Can you take a moment to congratulate yourself? Is it possible for you to be proud of yourself for making it thus far? What rewards of your work have you recently received?
What Seven of Pentacles Means for You Today
The Seven of Pentacles has appeared today to encourage you to take your time, be meticulous and don’t rush. Whatever you are working on in your life has reached a stage where all you can do is wait for the time to be right. Harvesting too soon can reduce your yield or even ruin your entire project. If you have made it this far, you can be patient just a little bit longer. You are so close to the payoff that you can taste it. Hold out just a little bit longer and success will be yours.
