The "Sevens" in the Tarot Deck are associated with experimentation, courage, and risks. The nature of the risk may vary and can be positive or negative.

Themes of the Seven of Pentacles include keeping track of things, watching and monitoring progress, and appreciating the cyclical nature of the natural seasons and passages of time.

This is represented by a farmer figure surveying crops in the the Rider-Waite and Robin Wood Decks. However the Golden Dawn deck presents a less positive interpretation of this card - and titles it "Success Unfulfilled": One aspect of the passage time is that sometimes it is necessary to wait.

This card may invite the seeker to take some time away from intimate involvement with the project/situation in order to gain a wider perspective of it. Alternatively, it may suggest that the hard work may pay-off later - rather than sooner.

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

• Heroic Achievement
• Good news
• Satisfaction of work well done
• Useful Help
• Waiting phase - for plants to grow or investments to mature.

Remember that all of the Pentacles cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Pentacles with the element of earth and material concerns. For further information, read about the Suit of Pentacles in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
