Okay, so yesterday, I decided to dive into my tarot cards again. It’s been a while, and I was feeling a bit stuck in my current projects. I figured, why not see what the cards have to say? I pulled out my trusty deck and focused on the question: “What are my feelings regarding my current situation?” The card I drew was the Seven of Pentacles.
At first, I was like, “Huh, the Seven of Pentacles, what’s that all about?” I mean, I know the general meaning, but I wanted to really understand how it applied to my feelings. So, I started by just staring at the card for a good few minutes. You know, really letting the image sink in. I saw this figure leaning on a shovel, looking at a bush full of pentacles. It looked like they had been working hard, and now they were taking a break, kind of assessing their progress.
Then I grabbed my journal and started writing down my initial thoughts. I jotted down words like “patience,” “waiting,” and “contemplation.” It felt like the card was telling me that I’m in a phase where I’ve planted my seeds, done the work, and now I’m just waiting to see the fruits of my labor. It’s not a bad feeling, but definitely a bit of a waiting game.
After that, I decided to do a bit of reading. I looked up some interpretations of the Seven of Pentacles online, just to see what others had to say. I found a few articles and forum posts that talked about the card representing both patience and frustration. That resonated with me. I mean, I’m proud of the work I’ve done, but I’m also itching to see some results already!
Next, I spent some time reflecting on my recent efforts. I listed out all the things I’ve been working on, the steps I’ve taken, and the goals I’m hoping to achieve. This helped me see the bigger picture and appreciate the progress I have made, even if it’s not immediately obvious. For instance, I am applying for a new job, and have been doing interviews for a month, although no offer yet, but I did go through a lot of preparation and that’s something worth celebrating.
The Seven of Pentacles also got me thinking about the concept of timing. One source I read mentioned that the card could be a warning that the timing of something isn’t quite right. It made me wonder if maybe I just need to be a bit more patient and trust that things will unfold when they’re supposed to. Maybe it’s not about pushing harder right now, but about taking a step back and letting things develop naturally.
- Reflect on your efforts. What have you been working on? What steps have you taken?
- Acknowledge your feelings. Are you feeling patient, frustrated, or a mix of both?
- Consider the timing. Is now the right time to push forward, or is it time to wait and see?
- Trust the process. Remember that growth takes time. Be patient with yourself and the journey.
By the end of the day, I felt like I had a much better understanding of my feelings and the message of the Seven of Pentacles. It’s a card that reminds us that good things take time, and that sometimes the best thing we can do is to be patient, keep nurturing our efforts, and trust that the harvest will come. It’s not always easy, but it’s a valuable lesson to learn. I know it is not the time to give up but to be more patient, so I made up my mind to keep going with my job interviews and I trust things will unfold when they’re supposed to.
