You feel as though there is no one who really understands you on any kind of real level. This has been an overwhelming time for you. The Page of Pentacles is telling you to take a break; it doesn’t always have to be so serious. The pursuit of love should be fun, not so dramatic and especially not so much work. Spend some time just playing around with the people that you meet for a time.

If you can play with them then you know that they will probably benefit your life experience overall. The Page reminds you to educate yourself: One person cannot give you everything all at once, they can give you parts and fill some needs, but you must fulfill the desires that you have in and of yourself.

The Seven of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

The Seven of Pentacles is a fruitful card reflecting abundance and growth.

It is a prosperous card and indicates good times leading in your life or around your life at this time. The card says that you need to focus on the end result as you are going to live with your harvest no matter what you sow. You may find that you look down at what is growing in your life and not like what is coming up. It really depends on what you have been doing so far and what you are expecting back. This is a time to take a look at your own actions and consider change of course if needed. If you have been putting forth a solid effort you are likely to find a healthy return on your investment.

When you see the Seven of Pentacles in your reading it’s a good time to take a step back and think about areas in your life where you need more work and where you are doing well. It’s about seeking balance in your own life and measuring your value and worth in order to progress further in the right areas of your life.

Depending on what other cards are in your reading the Seven of Pentacles will have a different influence. For example if it is paired with decision making cards like Justice or the Judgment card then you need to focus on making decisions which will allow you the most reward. The Two of Cups and the Lovers card will indicate that you may be seeking positive changes in love. Regarding the reading be sure to take stock of the entire reading in order to not be misled by the multitude of possibilities that can be associated with this card.

The Seven of Pentacles in Love

In the case of love the Seven of Pentacles shows that you may want to take a step back and assess your own emotional situation. Areas of success in love often come from a good balance of effort and communication just as areas that are failing will come from a lack. The card really emphasizes that what you put forth will be received. It is similar to the Six of Pentacles in that your actions are directly related to the outcome of your situation. However, with the Seven of Pentacles the reception of your reward is dependent on the amount of time and energy spent. Any relationship will flourish or fail based on how it is cared for and nourished. You are reading a make or break point within your relationship at this time where actions to help the relationship to thrive are needed before there is a failing of some kind.

The Seven of Pentacles in Health

Now is a great time to reflect on the areas of your health in which could use a bit more care. You may find that right now there are areas of your own life where you are feeling burdened and these are taking a toll on your health. Now is a time to take action so that further injury does not occur. The Seven of Pentacles is a generally positive card for health when looking at it in the general or overall sense. Even issues that arise this time that seem huge are likely to turn out not as bad. For example, if you find you have a lump or a cyst it could be scary, but the chances are higher right now that it would be a benign issue that could be easily rectified as long as you immediately follow the proper protocols.

The Seven of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Consider the approaches that you are taking when it comes to work and finances at this time. It’s a great time to focus your energies on growth and being specific in your planning to what you want your end result to be. You may want to take a step back momentarily and evaluate where your finances or work situation is at right now in order to ensure that you are on the right path. The Seven of Pentacles card acts as a reminder that some attention is needed on your part before diving into a new business venture or placing your money somewhere. It is not a time to take high risks or seek out unreasonable reward. At this time slow and steady will win the race.

In work, the seven of Pentacles is all about harvesting what you sow. It can indicate the hard work of planting the seeds has been done, the wealth is growing. If you look at the picture, in a work context the seven indicates that the time is almost here. I like to think of this card as the fruits of your labors - but the time is not yet right. You still have much work ahead but you are still at the point of laying plans. This card can also be yourself looking at how much money you are going to make, not to mention the fact that you are going to get to a point where you are finding things hard going which is why the man is taking a break from building his wealth. The answer here in work is to keep on going, keep planting and above all keep your faith. It is clear based on the pentacles that surround the main in the picture success will be yours if you apply yourself. So, patience is required and further work. If you have asked about a job or been to an interview then this card in a spread indicates that there is nothing more you can do, you have done all you can. For business, the card implies that you have worked hard, there is more “reaping phase” to come.

The Seven of Pentacles In Reversed Position

When reversed the Seven of Pentacles indicates severe disappointment, depression, and in some extreme cases, loss. Where there is a good chance for growth and opportunity present with the card in the upright position… in the reversed position you are already seeing the results of your actions. Chances are that what you have sowed has failed to thrive and you are left with less than desirable results. Now is a time to avoid making a snap decision or reacting from your current situation. You didn’t get to where you are overnight and you aren’t going to get out of where you are overnight either.

Strength Tarot Card Meaning

The Strength card exemplifies the need for order and discipline in your life at this time. Try to think about the ways in which you are allowing yourself too much excess whether it is drinking, spending, eating, or anything else. Avenues of your life that you are exerting too much energy into right now are going to be exaggerated in your reading in order, which hopefully will bring attention to them and to get you back to a point of balance. Many people when they get this card will be in denial and state that they aren’t engaging in any healthy activities that could cause them any harm. Try to be open with yourself at this time. The tarot is a divination tool designed to help you and not to point a finger at you. It’s likely whatever action that the card is indicating for you isn’t entirely all bad… it’s only bad in excess.

On the Strength card we see a woman caressing a lion. Some will say that she is trying to look in it’s mouth. First of all, this isn’t the best decision as it foolish to think you can mess around with a lion and not get eaten. The lion on the card has a lot of different meanings all associated with power. Lust, strength, power, and unabashed behaviors are all associated with the lion on the card. There is no one on the card neither to help nor to watch the woman and this is a representation in life that usually that the spectators have gone. People that would normally be around you to guide you or caution you have left, thinking that you will not listen to them.

This can be a dangerous card if the warnings are unheeded… but then again it can also be a card of taking a risk and being successful. If the actions that the cards are referring to are unsafe or unhealthy then you definitely want to take the card as a warning. It will largely depend on what other cards are around this card. If you see the Tower, Judgment, or any Ace cards around this card be aware that you may be headed for trouble in a certain aspect of your life.

There are also very spiritual elements to this card that often go unnoticed. The woman in the card holds a spiritual power as she is adorned with the same headdress figure 8 that the magician holds. The colors on the card are also those that indicate a higher spiritual sense or divine understanding. The physical manifestations of this card are often base and unhealthy, but the card offers hope for your psyche as well. It shows that the exertions in your life at this point, even if you are feeling that perhaps you are getting a bit out of control, ultimately you are also processing. The power to overcome the lion requires an understanding with the animal to bring it to submission. Now is a time to face demons head one and conquer them. You have the power to defeat and destroy that which is holding you back internally.

The Strength in Love

The Strength card in a love or relationship reading is a sort of double-edged sword. It can indicate fabulous sexual experiences or the overall strength within a relationship. Usually, there is an indicator that there is a good foundation between two people. The card often represents couples that feel safe with each other and that are in a healthy yet virile stage of their relationship. With the Strength card in a love reading there is also caution to be had. The boundaries of trust need not be pushed too far. Make sure that you are conversing with your partner and being sure that they are on the same side as you. You want to be sure that one or both people are not pushing the others boundaries too far to make sure that trust remains.

In the case of a person looking for love, the card indicates that you are likely repeating mistakes in relationships and failing to learn from them. Consider if you look for the same type of person to be with and if that personality is healthy for you like in the case of the woman who always dates a bad-boy or a man who constantly finds himself with materialistic gold digging types.

The Strength as feelings

Strength as feelings is positive. It means that the relationship makes them feel strong and on top of the world. In the deck known as thorn, the card is called “lust” and the women is riding the lion. In my deck, you will notice her head is on top of the lion. Showing that she is in control. This card can also mean the person feels balance with you but they don't feel dominated. This card can also mean that there is sexual energy between you plus a keen desire. 

The Strength in Health

When seeing the Strength card in a health reading it is an omen of recovery and one that brings hope to even the darkest of situations. It indicates that there is not only strength of the body to see through a difficult health crisis but also that the mind is in a good place as well. Like the woman with control over the lion in the card, which is often viewed as power being put into check or submission, the health of the individual at question will be restored to at least some degree. It tells us that the body has the strength to put disease or illness into submission. Often a card associated with heart disease, cancer, or bed-ridden illness, it is a card that defies the odds and shows that the body is doing all that it can to fight.

The Strength in Work and Wealth

In the case of finances, work, or monetary risk the card is not neither bad nor good. You are likely to find yourself in a position where you feel like you should or that you have to take risks. Seeing the Strength card in your reading is an omen of caution. It is true that without risk sometimes there is a lack of reward. Be sure that the risks that you are taking are not impulsive or without merit. Heed the advice of others around you at this time for they likely have your best interest at heart.

Reversed Meaning - The Strength

When the Strength appears in the reversed position it is a signal that you need to take a step back before you create a situation in your life that you will regret. Often a sign that your earthly priorities are not aligned with your true self and that you are acting out in a way which is not typically “you”. Consider ways in which you are rebelling in your life and note that these actions are not always in your best interest. Reversed, the Strength card represents taking risks without reward, foolish actions for no just cause, or doing a disservice to yourself or those around you.
