Tarot Warnings: When The Cards Just Say No

Reading Tarot isn't always cheery, despite my best efforts to look at things in a positive light. Sometimes, the cards just say no to whatever you want to happen. I think it is important to always try your best to achieve your goals, however. Even when the Tarot says it just isn't going to happen, if I really want it to happen I try anyway. I will tell you about something that happens recently that kind of illustrates this point. I usually do a weekly reading for myself about what is going to happen that week, what to look forward to, etc. Just a general Tarot reading that I use for practice and insights in the meanings of the Tarot cards.

I am a long-time Thoth tarot fan, and this is my go to deck on most days. When the 7 of Disks shows up, at first glance it can seem a little depression. The card features dark colors and is named Failure. Failure! That name really doesn't suit the 7 of Pentacles in my opinion. Most of the time, the card is saying that a little patience is required, but your goals will be met. The traditional image in the 7 of Pentacles is a garden. If you think about a garden, it takes some time before your newly sprouted plants produce any fruits for your labor. Even herbs take a few months to produce anything that you can use in the kitchen. This card is showing you that with time and dedication, you can reach your goals and be successful. Stick with what you are doing, work hard, and everything will end up in your favor. In fact, when I draw this card my worries tend to be eased somewhat because I know that, with time, everything will work out.
