Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Seven of Pentacles

The Seven's are ruled by the Seventh Sephira-Netzach which means Victory. Victory may sound pleasing, but one must remember that Victory requires a battle to be fought and won, sometimes with little reward. The Rider-Waite-Smith- Seven of Pentacles is again of a more banal bent. Illustrated is an exhausted farmer, under gray skies, examining his blighted plant of six pentacles from which one pentacle has been harvested and lying on the ground. A disappointing harvest which has taken much work to produce which emphasizes the theme of disappointment and a great deal of work for little reward. Much reminiscent of the Greek legend of Sisyphus.

Jungian Tarot- 7 of Pentacles

Gain through commerce.

The Jungian Tarot- 7 of Pentacles, doesn't give away much meaning in its minimalistic art. However, this is a powerful card of almost certain of financial reward through business, stocks, or banking. The seven is different from the six of pentacles, in that little effort is required here. One is more of a genius at business management, manipulation, guile, and financial gamesmanship which has little to do with the amount of time or effort expended. For instance, a phone call of 5 minutes to a stock broker may reap a fortune. As usual, the pursuit of money and rewards, is done to the exclusion of all else: no time for family, friends, and co-workers. If time is given to them, it is secondary at best. Hence, on a psychological level, there may be a deep inner struggle between work ambition, and the emotional demands of family and friends or business itself, becomes a convenient emotional escape from personal responsibilities.

When the Seven/7 of Pentacles is thrown during a reading, implied:

  • Is a fear of failure with finances, health and relationships. However, 7 in Netzach is a weak event, and deregulation of the element of earth, so soon  the querent's project will be completed if determined to "keep on" and ignoring the feelings of never finishing the task.
  • The Determination to release this fear of failure should go on for 7 weeks or 7 months. However, this determination must be hard fought, for there is a tendency to abandon labor, and allowing everything to sink in a mire of sloth.
  • Yet again, putrefaction is before the transformation of  purification, so this is the point where the "lowest fallen becomes the highest exalted".
  •  Is that you shall succeed if you don't listen to the thoughts of failure that are tempting your brain. Push harder, you'll soon succeed!
  • Avoiding family responsibilities in favor of ambition. 
  • Work, business, finances first, all else is secondary.

If ill defined by surrounding cards it implies:

  • Deep-rooted blockages.
  • Anxiety about money.
