70-Seven of Pentacles – Reversed Rider Waite Deck

Your Chosen Card – Seven of Pentacles Reversed Rider Waite Deck

When reversed, the Seven of Coins 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 you’re 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.

Creative Tarot: You become your highest self by blending the four elements of the tarot deck—Cups (emotions), Wands (passion), Swords (intellect), and Coins (pragmatism)—with a sense of spirituality. You can substitute morality here if you like. You remove your own private concerns because there’s simply no room for them. It’s a bit like the detachment taught in Buddhism or the denial of the ego in Christianity. When we let the ego rule, we get stuck with the Devil, who is ten cards up at number fifteen. Here you put aside your own needs and work from a place of virtue. That’s how you become a leader.

Complete Book of Tarot: For many years I used reversed cards in my tarot practice. More recently, however, I have taken to keeping all the cards upright. In doing so, I consider all the potential meanings of a card in a reading, both positive and negative. We can use the energy represented by any card in a constructive or a harmful manner. Commenting on the full range of meanings, including the potentially negative uses of an upright card, has the potential to empower clients to take responsibility for what is happening in their lives.

Tarot Triumphs: Who was the old lady? I have thought about her many times since. I can only speculate, as I relish the impact of the experience, which is still vivid in my mind. But I would guess that she was from a long line of fortune-tellers, those who had passed on the meaning of the Tarot cards through centuries of divination. This is all the more likely because the encounter occurred in the part of Italy where Tarot itself took root and evolved in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Perhaps she was one of the last of her kind to practice the traditional form of Tarot fortune-telling, going from house to house, or standing, as she did, in marketplaces and at fairs and festivals. Although today you can easily find a Tarot reader, finding someone who has been taught Tarot as part of a way of life, through an oral tradition, is a rarity.
