Seven of Pentacles

Does the Seven of Pentacles herald patience?

The Seven of Pentacles shows a man pensively resting his hands on a hoe, after a long day of labour. This is a time of reassessment and of looking at what must be done. The Seven of Pentacles shows up when you have done all you can, and there is nothing more that is in your hands. Now you need to let the project or task you have been working on go out of your hands, since it depends on fate or someone else. The call of the hour is your patience and optimism. Since the outcome of the work you've done isn't up to you and will take the time it needs, the best you can do is show up daily, give your best, and leave any expectations of the outcome behind. The man in the Seven of Pentacles is resting on a hoe. A hoe is the slowest piece of gardening tools and would de-weed the garden tendril by tendril, making it a very slow and tedious process. Therein lies the meaning of the card. You need to keep putting in the hard work on a project you cannot abandon, and weed out negative thoughts and expectations of quick results from your mind. For projects or business ventures, this card could signal that you step back and consider whether to continue and invest in the project or venture. The Seven of Pentacles usually speaks of a long-term project in which the first reward has just come in, but is very meagre compared to the effort put in. For now, think of the journey as a privilege to be a part of the process to see the growth of this venture and know that there will be a break, just around the corner. It may take its time, but it will come. Sometimes we are so close to things day to day that we don't notice the progress. Just because we haven't noticed it doesn't mean growth isn't occurring. Think of all you have achieved, and remember the journey that led to it. Honour yourself, since your time will come, and your hard work will pay off. For now, enjoy the journey !!
