Seven of Pentacles
This card depicts a restless spirit caught between worlds, symbolizing the tension between attachment and the possibility of release. The house represents burdens of conscious attachments while the empty grave offers a portal to freedom, and the ghost's shadow and glowing eyes show residual humanity and enduring spirit. It indicates a period after much work when results seem distant, advising patience and continued perseverance. Rewards are likely if you wait and allow the process to complete.

Story
Sir Simon de Canterville was the tortured ghost who failed to scare off a family taking residence at Canterville Chase. Despite his best efforts to frighten the new arrivals, no one took the restless ghost seriously except for fifteen-year-old Virginia, who helped him find salvation and peace. The ghost floats down a flight of cold stone stairs. He is between worlds, belonging to neither the land of the living nor the land of the dead. The house represents the burdens of conscious attachments, and the empty grave serves as his portal to freedom. The ghost casts a shadow, a symbol of his residual humanity, but his glowing eyes reflect his fiery spirit.
Divinatory meaning
After much work and effort, you feel as though there are no lights at the end of the tunnel. Be patient—reward is in the offing if you wait.
