The Images of the Tarot Oracle in Psychic Readings

The Seven of Pentacles

When we see the image of Seven Pentacles in a reading, we sometimes like to say that "something is cooking." What is the most essential and universal element in every fine recipe? Time! Thus, one of the most important messages conveyed by the image of Seven Pentacles concerns the need for patience. And during a period of waiting, it is often wise to take stock of the situation at hand, to evaluate its ongoing progress, to assess and reassess the nature of unfolding developments. In this way, one comes to a secondary meaning of the image, which promises rewards and ultimate fulfillment of one's purpose.

The reversal of the image of Seven Pentacles often signifies the end of a period of patience and the futility of waiting. This was the case in our Reading for a client who was unsure how to proceed in his relationship with his girlfriend. After a series of infidelities on her part, our client was still waiting for his girlfriend to make a firm commitment to him. In several of the other images that we drew for this Reading, we also saw signs of serious incompatibilities in their personalities and outlook on life. It was clear that, in this instance, patience had edged over into denial and procrastination. We suggested that our client might be wise to heed the oracle's implicit urging toward a final decision in this relationship.
