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.

The Seven Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Wands is depicted by a young man who appears to be standing on a precipice fighting for his land.

There are six enemies attacking below. If you have received this card in your reading, this symbolizes success against opposition and a certain victory through courage. Right now you are gifted with added perspective that your opposition does not have. You can see farther and wider so you can prepare for a potential attack if need be. This is an excellent card to see you through challenges so that you can come out the winner.

The important thing to do now is to make your point of view, or position clear and then stand by what you feel is the most important right now and do not compromise or try to settle for less. You are under a certain amount of pressure, but you have more flexibility than those that are putting that pressure on you, in this you have the upper hand. In time you will be able to understand the situation more clearly because the Seven of Wands is a card of inner strength and force of will. You are capable of pushing through any adversity.

One of the aspects of receiving this card is the notion that at this time you will need assistance from others. One of the great things about not living alone on an island is that we are able to bounce thoughts and ideas off of one another to better our life experiences. To learn, to grow, to be strong; to find what makes us happy and what does not and to learn to cast away more of what does not. With the assistance of others you will meet the obstacles that you are running into head on and push past them. You must not try to fight this alone, even though you are capable. There is something you need to learn from asking for help right now. You are a natural born leader in this instance, however, so others will look to you for instruction. In this they will help you and you will help them.

As it stands, because of your intense bravery and willingness to fight for what you believe in, you are already enlightened enough to understand that the environment and everything in it is all a part of one life spirit. This means that your ‘enemies’ so to speak, have as much of a relationship with you as your brothers and sisters. Together we are operating in the same sphere at the same time in order to progress at our varying levels. Understanding this concept will bring you more strength. Meditate on this.

Your belief systems may be put to the test now, because you have something to lose, but continue to have confidence in yourself and in those that you trust and you will have success in your endeavors. By confronting this challenge head on, you will be correcting any flaws that might exist in your beliefs to become more ironclad. The Seven of Wands is the almighty defender, ready to fight regardless of odds. This is what you are experiencing in your life. These are the odds that you must match. You can only fight for what you fiercely believe in. Consider who you feel you are fighting against at this point in time, are you treating yourself with trust and honesty? What about others? Do you trust others to be strong enough to help you? Examine these questions and see where that puts you in your current circumstance.

The Seven of Wands in Love

The Seven of Wands shows up in a reading to help you through some painstaking struggles that you are having to experience at this point in time. Basically, this man is fighting for survival, to protect himself and to protect the ones that he loves. And he does that at all costs. This is the same for you and your love life. Now you are fighting to save something that you believe in. If you are in a relationship, this shows a potential for a struggle to keep the authenticity and morale of the relationship which can at times be exhausting and challenging. This is a good time to ask for help in the form of relationship/marriage counseling. See if there is anything that you can do to help make the relationship work. The work itself is what the Seven of Wands is here to help you with.

If you are single, then take into consideration what about your personal life you are treating as a struggle. Why is it hard for you to meet people? What blocks are you experiencing? Who is metaphorically, or literally, stopping you? You must remove these road blocks with the help of your friends in order to move forward in love.

The Seven of Wands in Health

When the Seven of Wands appears in relation to your health, it is of key importance that you slow down. Right now you have a large amount of mental struggles that are causing you pain. You are thinking too much and that is making it hard for you to accomplish what you need. Your body may suffer from physical aches and pains due to the fact that you are holding on so tightly to the frustrations of your experience. You must let this go so that you can find healing.

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth speaks strongly to a new wave of competition in your business and trade life. These are challenges that you can definitely meet, but you want to make sure that you ally your forces with someone who understands where you are coming from. For example, if you have an idea about how to create a business, you will want to get a lawyer friend involved to make sure that you do everything right. The more friends like this that you have helping you, the better.

The Seven Of Wands As Feelings

This card in love readings as feelings means that they are unwilling to give up freedoms and begin a relationship. This card can indicate giving up their ground and moving towards being emotionally defensive and focusing on their mind. The person is determined in the choice that they have made and nothing will change their mind. For feelings, this can indicate they are in a corner and they cannot get out of it. The more they push the person the more they will back off and might end up falling off a cliff and never to be seen again.

The Seven Of Wands in the Reversed Position

Because of the fact that you are a natural-born leader and the Seven of Wands is encouraging that side of you to thrive, there are going to be points when others are intimidated by your leadership skills and will desire to challenge or fight with you. You will have to put up with some jealousy which will be inconvenient for you. But again the importance here is to tap into your intuition to make the right decisions on how to handle these situations while still keeping your character intact.
