Visual Description
A lone farmer stands in a lush field, leaning on a long hoe or staff as he surveys a row of pentacles that grow on tall stalks among sunflowers. The sky above swirls in vivid blues and yellows with a bright sunlike vortex near the horizon, and the Roman numeral VII appears in an oval at the top. At the bottom is a rectangular label with Cyrillic text reading 'СЕМЁРКА ПЕНТАКЛЕЙ'.
Meaning
The scene opens with a hardworking figure pausing mid-labor to look over what he has cultivated, feeling the warm breeze and the rough handle of his tool under his hand. You can almost smell fresh earth and see the green stems heavy with pentacles like coins ripening on a vine, and the swirling sky presses the moment into a luminous stillness. This card speaks of taking stock, of the slow work of tending a project or relationship and measuring progress against time; patience and steady care have brought visible growth. At the same time it whispers of waiting and wondering whether to continue investing in the same patch of ground, and it cautions against confusing long effort with guaranteed reward. If you are upright you are invited to reflect, to celebrate small returns, and to plan the next season with realistic expectations. If the card's energy is reversed it may show impatience, misdirected effort, or the need to reassess and possibly replant elsewhere rather than cling to diminishing returns. Either way the image asks you to honor the labor done, learn from what has or hasn't flourished, and choose whether to deepen commitment or change course with a clear-eyed view of costs and yields.
Visual Description
A bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat stands in profile in a field of tall plants and sunflowers, holding a long pruning staff or hoe. Seven pentacle coins are embedded among the foliage, arranged vertically like fruit on a vine. A glowing sun or bright light swirls behind him under a vibrant, textured sky; the Roman numeral VII appears at the top and a Russian title strip sits at the bottom.
