Step 6 of 9 · Slow Growth and Craft

7 of Pentacles

Modern interpretation

Why this step

The Seven of Pentacles is tending the field with the payoff still some seasons away. The entry says that distance is normal, not a sign that something is wrong. Its reversed reading is the harder one: effort poured into ground that will never yield, which asks whether the patience itself was misplaced.
