SEVEN OF PENTACLES

A woman with a basket stands by a tree laden with pentacles. The sheep in the field watch her while a squirrel considers trying to make off with one of the pentacles.

Like the Chariot, Major Arcana VII, this woman has exerted her will and control to make this tree fruitful. However, she is going a step beyond the Chariot. She is assessing her investment to see if the yield matches her expectations and was worth the effort she put into it.

You have sown seeds of some sort. They are bearing fruit and it is time for the harvest. Take time to compare the investment with the results. If it is not what you'd hoped, determine what you can do differently next time.

Be aware of being so excited about the harvest that you neglect the balance sheet.
