Waite–Smith, Pentacles
Seven of Pentacles
What you can see
A figure leans on a long-handled tool and studies pentacles among thick leaves. One pentacle sits close to a foot.
What Waite says
Waite warns that this card’s inherited meanings are especially contradictory. Business and exchange appear beside quite different readings, so the familiar image of waiting is not his entire account.
