Long hours have been spent cultivating the ground. You have poured yourself into a project, and now it can carry itself. The Seven of Pentacles invites you to pause a moment, ponder the past, and assess the future.

When you finally look up from your work, you may be faced with some hard questions. Are your efforts bearing fruit as you envisioned? Is it best to continue to develop this project or to shift your energy and risk losing everything in order to start a new one? If you're having trouble deciding whether to boldly change directions or to persevere, remember that our lives follow the cycles of nature. Be patient, and give yourself time to decide the next step.
