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 Nine Of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Nine of Pentacles is a card of sacrifice and discipline as a means to getting what you want.

When this card is revealing in your reading you are in good hands. The Nine of Pentacles shows that unlike others, you have learned from your own mistakes and you are working on moving forward in your life. Right now is an excellent time to be making plans to complete goals, rather than to be starting on something new. Take the time now to reap what you have sown and to watch the positive materialize.

Often we mere mortals will finish a task and then move on to the next without a thought of consequences. This is not a time that you want to do that because the Nine of Pentacles usually represents positive rewards coming your way. As you may know 3 is a magic number. It is the number of the divine; a blessed digit. With the Nine it is the manifestation of 3, threefold (3x3=9) and it shows an array of good fortune for you.

The culmination of your heard work has come to a head and it is time to celebrate! It is also a great time for family, coming together, and planning events. You may want to celebrate with others or even show off your hard work a little bit. You never know, you may have some information to be sharing with people soon as well since this is a good card for fertility and family! Much good energy comes from this card and now is the time to dwell upon the possibilities that are being created and assert your focus into the positive areas of your life. Do not dwell in the past when the present has so much to offer!

The Nine of Pentacles in Love

Focus on the contacts that you have already made when looking for love. When the Nine of Pentacles is present, it is likely that love is around the corner and that sparks are already flying. Whether in a relationship or not, connections at this time or strong and there are great opportunities for growth and positive natural change in romance. The Nine of Pentacles is a vibrant card with astounding energy. Now is the time to cultivate relationships of all kinds and bring them to fruition within the direction that you are hoping for. If you find that you are feeling down or left out in love, often all you need to do is to look around. Sometimes when things are dark, it’s easy to focus on the negative and ignore what you already have. Don’t downplay your emotions at this time. Speak up and act out in order to get what you want.

The Nine of Pentacles in Health

The Nine of Pentacles brings good news for health, especially if you have been working on a health concern (like losing weight, controlling blood pressure, etc.) or concerned about a need for healing (such as recovering from surgery or after an injury). The Nine of Pentacles is a strong card for the strength of mind and body and says that now there are energies that are helping you along. The time is right for increased stamina and you may want to use this to your advantage. Continue working on your positive efforts and you will see rewards!

The Nine of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

The man on the Nine of Pentacles card is tending his garden and noticing what is growing forth from whence he planted. There are pleasant feelings surrounding the card denoted by the yellow background and the thriving plant before him. Like the man on the card, this is a good time for you regarding both career and money. With money specifically, the card often accompanies a windfall of sorts, again from an investment, or simply finding money that you had forgotten that you had. It’s not money from nowhere and is usually associated with your earning of the funds in some way. Now would be a good time to go through your portfolio… or even your couch cushions… to find unexpected strains of income. Concerning work, the Nine of Pentacles tells you that you are doing a number of things right. First, you seem to have been working hard in your job or career and when this card is present it is likely that someone with power or status has taken notice of your efforts. It is a reminder card that you are on the right track for job development. Continue moving forward and that attention will be considered in some way that rewards you.

The Nine Of Pentacles in the Reversed Position

Reversed Nine of Pentacles in a reading

When the Nine of Pentacles is revealed in the reversed position the news is not all bad. There is still good news to be had for you… if only you are willing to work for it. Unfortunately, those that don’t heed the warning of the Nine of Pentacles in the reversed position end up missing out on a missed opportunity in their life that they will likely kick themselves about later. Typically when the card comes up it is telling you that there are chances that you are missing by not being active enough or initiating the proper channels to get what you want. For example, in love… if you are looking for love then you are either looking in the wrong place or not taking a direct enough action to catch the eye of someone special. In work, there is likely to be an opportunity for advancement but you need to shine! Be mindful of chances around you right now and fight the urge to be lazy right now. Your window of opportunity won’t be there forever!
