Seven of Pentacles

The five planets and the two luminaries whirl above you in a fountain spray of stars, their strange gravity shifting the cities of the plain. The mystical Sevens speak of change both good and bad.

This is a time for inner journeys. Meditate on hard work and its rewards, but be not proud; The Chariot warns of the risk of celebration in the moment of an illusory victory.

Upright

• Germination
• Effort
• Fulfilment

Despite your efforts, the financial reward that usually accompanies hard work does not materialise. Debts may need to be repaid, but the resources to do so are not forthcoming. Perhaps you find yourself questioning the value of your labours and yourself.

Do not be despondent, for your are planting a rich crop, and your fears are groundless. Focus on satisfaction beyond material measures, and prosperity will follow.

Reversed

• Disappointment
• Reassessment
• Change

The sunrise finds you hard at work; you remain at the site of your labour as she sinks below the mountains to the West, replaced by the dolorous Moon. And yet your labours result in nothing; progress is not made, reward remains unclaimed.

Find the resources you need deep inside yourself, and reconsider your path. Do not waste spiritual resources on fruitless endeavour or pointless worry. Reassess the dreams you seek to make real, and gird yourself to begin again.
