Seven of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning
What Seven of Pentacles means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Seven of Pentacles shows a farmer leaning on a hoe and studying seven coins growing on a vine. It belongs to the suit of Pentacles, the element of earth (money, work, the body and practical matters), and its rank carries the theme of testing and reassessment (Seven). The fruit has set and it is not yet time to pick. Decide whether to keep growing this for what it will become, not for the time already spent.
