This week we are guided by the Seven of Pentacles

This image is of a farmer leaning on his spade and looking at pentacles that are growing like fruits. He has done all the work and all that is left is to wait and see what transpires. Having already waited for a while, he has started to become anxious and worries whether the fruits on this tree will ever be mature enough for harvesting.

The card suggests that you cannot achieve true success unless you are determined and refuse to surrender to doubt. Your patience may be running out, but you need to resist the temptation to see all that has happened as a disappointment. Falling prey to impatience would be a mistake. It is not yet time to reap the fruits of your endeavors.

A balanced card by nature the Seven suggests you will avoid failure, but fall short of runaway success in an endeavor. Or, equally possible, that you will achieve your goals, but not in the time frame you had hoped for. You will face setbacks, and in order to succeed you will need vision, perseverance and to take care to avoid becoming too hesitant or timid. Progress may be slow or difficult, but long-term success is possible with your investment.
