Seven of pentacles Tarot Card Meanings

Upright Card Meaning

Look over yonder, the Seven of Pentacles is indicating that the flowers of your hard work are beginning to bloom.
As you rest from your hard work, you may begin to see glimmers of progress already. Perhaps the returns of an intelligent investment are already beginning to hint at happy days for the future. However, this card is not a sign to rest on your laurels. Small signs that you are on the right path are not signs that you have arrived, and if you stop now you may find yourself empty-handed in the end. Continue working towards your goals with perseverance, only now you allow the certainty of your own success to fuel you and multiply your blessings.
Alternatively, it is possible that only you can see the success that awaits you on this path. The Seven of Pentacles also represents the power of vision and manifestation. When you are governed by a clear sight towards victory, your hard work will find fruitful soil, even if others cannot see what you see yet and try to dissuade you.

Reversed Card Meaning

The Seven of Pentacles reversed is as barren as a garden in a drought year. You may scratch at the soil all day, but no seed will find room to sprout.
This is not a sign that you have been lazy, far from it. You have almost broken your back with work, but are not seeing results. You are frustrated and discouraged at the lack of reward. Perhaps you have been losing money no matter how many hours you put in at work, or you are constantly overlooked for a promotion.
The Seven of Pentacles reversed is at least gentle enough to suggest a reason for this lack of reward. Do you have a goal in mind as you work, or have you just been expounding your energy aimlessly? This is a call to work smarter, not harder. You cannot expect to find signs that you are on the right path if you don't even know which path you would like to be on. Perhaps the lack of reward is a sign that this is not the way for you.
