Waite-Smith 塔罗（1909）
Seven of Pentacles
The Seven of Pentacles shows a figure leaning on a tool, gazing at growing coins on a bush. It is the card of the wait — investment tending toward its slow return.

正位牌义
These are exceedingly contradictory; in the main, it is a card of money, business, barter; but one reading gives altercation, quarrels--and another innocence, ingenuity, purgation.
逆位牌义
Cause for anxiety regarding money which it may be proposed to lend.
这张牌在做什么
It represents patient labour and the doubt that comes mid-growth. It appears when the work is in but the yield is not yet. The figure rests and looks; the waiting is the work now.
文化与传统的读法
In the traditional reading the Seven is money, business and barter. It has long been read as altercation and innocence, and by reversal as anxiety about a loan. The coins grow; the gardener waits.
