Seven of Pentacles
○
Upright Meaning
You may be in the middle of something that requires sustained effort without immediate feedback, and that's exactly right. The Seven of Pentacles is the farmer assessing crops mid-season: not harvesting yet, but paying attention to how the growth is going. This is the time for honest assessment, not giving up.
Reversed Meaning
Effort isn't producing what you'd hoped, and impatience is making the disappointment worse. Ask honestly whether the approach needs changing, rather than more of the same. Are you growing the right thing?
Seven of Pentacles in love

In a relationship, you may be wondering whether all your effort is paying off. Take stock honestly of what has grown between you over the past seasons.
