7 Pentacles

The Card: A young commonly dressed man is resting his hands on a gardening tool while watching the green vine. The vine is adorned with 7 pentacles. Behind him is a grey sky and an earth coloured landscape.

Interpretation: Our man looks tired, leaning on the tool. His expression has some sadness, or at least absence of joy. Perhaps wondering if his labour will bear fruit, will the efforts be rewarded. And what about the spiritual side of his life, is working really the only thing there is ?. His eyes seem to gaze beyond the plants into infinity, a longing for more purpose. He is working with the soil and yet not grounded and at peace. There is something to find.

Prediction: This is the time where results have not yet shown, valiancy is needed. To harvest the spiritual fruit, or in other form, some taxing mundane 'work' may appear. Fruits come in many forms.

Keywords: Pause, labour, longing, need for clarity, contemplation.
