Radiant Edition: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Seven of Pentacles
The Sevens 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 emphasizes the theme of disappointment and a great deal of work for little reward. Much reminiscent of the Greek legend of Sisyphus.

The Milo Manara Erotic Tarot- 7 of Earth.
The Erotic Tarot 7 of Earth shows a scene of a young lady in medieval bedclothes, pleasuring herself while reading a love letter. One may ask what this means, as 7 of Earth is the comparable card to the Thoth 7 of Disks-Failure. Failure can be seen in a couple of ways in this card. First, the black dressed man in his medieval finery, has failed as a husband to satisfy her physical and emotional needs and she finds comfort only in her love letters from secret lover. Any way you look at it, the interaction between these two is lacking the warmth of a loving relationship. Hence, the relationship has failed. The male is dressed in the black of Saturn, and when in Taurus an earth sign, Saturn makes petrification of the fruits of one's labor entirely possible. The suggestion here is that he has become a disciplinarian instead of a lover and husband as everything he touches becomes lead. Hence, we have a Lord of unfulfilled success, in a relationship.
Milo Manara assigned to this card the meanings of:
- Business.
- Transaction.
- The fruit of one's own work.
- Exchange.
The Astrological meaning of Saturn in Taurus implies the need to focus or consolidate in a continuous and possessive manner.
When Saturn is in the house of Taurus in an astrological chart, it influences the individual's approach to responsibilities, structure, and limitations within the realms associated with Taurus. Here are some characteristics:
Material Stability: Saturn in Taurus emphasizes the need for material stability and financial security. Individuals with this placement are likely to be disciplined and practical when it comes to managing their resources.
Slow and Steady Growth: Taurus is an earth sign known for its slow and steady approach. Saturn reinforces this trait, indicating that achievements and personal growth may come through patient and persistent efforts over time.
Conservative Values: The combination of Saturn and Taurus tends to make individuals value tradition and conservative principles. They may be cautious and reserved, preferring the familiar and proven rather than taking unnecessary risks.
Challenges in Change: Taurus is resistant to change, and Saturn's influence can amplify this quality. People with this placement may find it challenging to adapt to new situations or embrace change, preferring the comfort of the known.
Work Ethic: Saturn in Taurus indicates a strong work ethic. Individuals may approach their tasks with a methodical and pragmatic mindset, focusing on achieving tangible results.
Financial Prudence: There is a tendency to be financially conservative and prudent. Saturn's influence may lead individuals to carefully plan and manage their finances, avoiding unnecessary risks.
Potential Challenges: While the disciplined and structured approach is an asset, individuals should be mindful not to become overly rigid or resistant to change. Learning to adapt without compromising values is a key lesson for those with Saturn in Taurus.
Remember, the interpretation of Saturn in Taurus can vary based on the entire birth chart, including aspects and placements of other planets. It's advisable to consider the broader context for a more comprehensive analysis.
When the 7 of Pentacles or 7 of Earth 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 allow 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!
If ill defined by surrounding cards, it implies:
- Deep-rooted blockages.
- Anxiety about money.
