In the picture
A young farmer leans on his hoe and looks at seven pentacles growing on a green bush, as if judging the harvest.
Upright meaning
The Seven of Pentacles is a pause to check on progress. You have worked hard and results are growing, but slowly. The card favours patience and taking stock before deciding what to do next.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, the harvest is disappointing or impatience takes over. You may question whether your effort is worth it. Rethink the approach if it isn't.
