We are halfway through this last suit of the Minor Arcana, the Seven of Pentacles. 

The Seven of Pentacles is the card that rules investments, not giving up even though the results are slow to come, looking at the long-term view, and seeing sustainable results. 

This is the card you know when you are investing in something worthwhile, and it takes time to see a return on investment. 

However, it does come at the right time. 

The Seven of Pentacles is a card that is comparable to planting seeds. 

You plant these seeds, but it takes time for them to grow. 

And what you need to do is keep watering them so they do grow. 

And eventually, you will see that they have turned into plants or flowers. 

But it did not happen overnight, and it took nurturing and care to know the result that you had wanted to see. 

This card also fits the saying, ' Rome was not built in a day.' 

That is because great things that need to be created take time and require patience. 

Now, let’s go over the appearance and history of the Seven of Pentacles. 

History And Appearance of the Seven of Pentacles

The Seven of Pentacles is a tarot card that has been around for centuries. 

Its origins are unknown, but it is believed to date back to the Middle Ages. 

The Seven of Pentacles is often associated with wealth and success. 

However, it is also said to represent determination and hard work.

When you look at the Seven of Pentacles from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, you see a man leaning down on his hoe and looking at his crop. 

He has worked very hard to grow the garden which took time to flourish. 

Now that the garden has grown, he can enjoy the reward. 

Yet again, the message from this card is that hard work and patience will lead to success and rewards, but don't burn out. 

During a reading, let’s discuss what it means to get the Seven in Pentacles.

Seven of Pentacles In A Reading

When it comes to getting the Seven of Pentacles in a reading, it typically symbolizes a need for hard work and dedication to achieve success. 

This card often appears when someone is facing a challenging situation or goal that will require a lot of effort to achieve. 

Sometimes, the Seven of Pentacles can also represent feeling stuck in a rut or like you're not making progress. 

If you're currently facing any challenges in your life, the Seven of Pentacles is a reminder that you need to keep working hard to achieve success. 

There will be obstacles along the way, but if you stay dedicated and focused on your goals, you will eventually reach them. 

The best thing to do is to keep moving forward. 

In some cases, depending on the spread, The Seven of Pentacles shows that you have reaped what you sowed but suggests that you may be in danger of resting on your laurels and becoming too content with what you have. 

There is always room for improvement, so don't let your success go to your head.

The Seven of Pentacles can also indicate that you are overly focused on material gain. 

This may be causing you to lose sight of what is truly important in life. If you obsess over money or possessions, it's time to step back and reassess your priorities. 

Remember that true happiness comes from things that money can't buy.

Now, let's do some storytelling. But before that, let's review.

Let's firstly review the numerological aspect of six.

After the chaos and upheaval that comes with five, balance, cooperation, and communication come with six.

Seven is about being creative and using your individuality to conquer anything else that disrupts the peace that the six represents.

Seven is also a number of reflection.

When it comes to the mom investing in her side hustle which she hopes to see take off as a business from home so she could leave her job, she got help from others with her side hustle that volunteered their support and sent her resources to help her succeed. 

The Six of Pentacles represented that. 

However, she has utilized the help provided and is getting impatient that she is not getting results while working with the support she has gotten. 

But she knows it will take time for her business to start making money and get the recognition she wants, as Rome was not built in a day. 

The Seven of Pentacles represents that. What about the card in reverse? Let's go over that. 

Seven of Pentacles Reversed

When the Seven of Pentacles show up in reverse, it either means you do not see the long-term view, or there is a lack of patience. 

Or you are investing in something that is yielding minimal results. 

In other words, you are putting your effort into something that does not pay off in the end. 

For example, if you are investing in a marketing campaign for your business that is not yielding the results you want, that is an example of the Seven of Pentacles reversed. 

You are spending more money on it and not getting ROI that you want. 

It is best to discontinue in that case.

Let’s go over how the Seven of Pentacles can help your life. 

How You Can Apply the Seven of Pentacles To Your Life

There are many times when you will want to apply the Seven of Pentacles to your life. 

It is all of those times that require patience on your end. 

It does not only have to do with working hard at a new business and waiting for the results. It can go for anything. 

Weight loss is another example of the Seven of Pentacles. 

To start a weight loss journey, you will want to think about the Seven of Pentacles. 

It will take work and dedication, and results will be slow, but they are incremental, and you will reap the rewards as long as you keep sticking with the program.

I am one of the most impatient people, but I know when I need to hold my horses and some things you cannot rush, as they take time to manifest. 

You will also want to remind yourself when you work hard at something, and the results are not coming quickly enough. 

The next card I will focus on is the Eight of Pentacles.
