Your Chosen Card – Seven of Patens Upright Salem Deck
When upright, the Seven of Disks shows a farmer who has paused in the midst of his labors to assess his progress and plan his next moves. He has worked hard to get to this point and is well aware that his efforts will eventually pay off. Perhaps he is wondering what else he needs to be doing at this time. When we plant seeds, we know that no amount of impatience on our part will speed their growth. Instead, diligent care, responsible cultivation, and respect for natural cycles will produce an abundant harvest. The planet Saturn associated with this card is a strict taskmaster who, in the end, gives us what we deserve. As we read in the Bible, ‘Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap’ (Galatians 6:7, KJV).

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books
Complete Book of Tarot: The offspring of a sculptor father and a midwife mother, Socrates developed what we now call the Socratic method of leading his students to wisdom. Instead of imparting information, Socrates asked penetrating questions that provoked his students to come up with their own answers. Following his mothers lead, Socrates viewed himself as a midwife of the mind, opening passages through which the knowledge inherent in the human soul could emerge into the light of day. As we follow his lead in seeking wisdom, it is useful to record thoughts and reflections in a journal.
Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Seven of Pentacles suggests that you are feeling apprehension about financial security. Perhaps you are worried that there will not be a sufficient return on your investment of time, resources, or money. The problem is that investments typically take time to mature and cannot be rushed. Impatience can result in wasted resources, failed projects, or missed opportunities. You need to assess your situation realistically and follow principles of sound fiscal management if you wish to succeed. If youre not sure about what to do, get advice from an expert consultant. Daydreaming or focusing on irrelevant matters will not help you to reassess the situation that is causing anxiety. The planet Saturn associated with this card implies that you need to keep your nose to the grindstone. You will get as much from your project as you put into it; no pain, no gain.
Reversed Cards: The Seven of Pentacles in the mirror aspect reflects our level of attachment to our material world. If you are impatient, forceful, and controlling, this card will be uncomfortable regardless of its orientation. If you are inflexible and deeply attached to the outside world, then patience is not going to be your strongest asset. But if you can learn to understand the growth cycles of the physical world, you will understand when it is time to leave something be and walk away. Now is the time to focus your attention elsewhere and start another project, as this current one is now able to take care of itself.
