Reversed Seven of Pentacles Meaning for Money and Finance

When this card appears in a financial reading, it is likely in reference to an actual investment that you have made with your money. Maybe you decided to input some money into a business venture and are not happy with the returns. The pentacles are often used to symbolise coins and with this card, it shows that you are not getting enough payment for either your time, effort or money. It may be time to look back at your spending, see if you have spent a large amount of money on something reckless that you maybe don’t use, or perhaps there is a large sum investment that has gone out. Look at what these expenditures have brought you and see what you can do about them.

The solution to your money worries might be as simple as returning something that you bought on impulse. However, it may be a little more complicated if you have invested a large amount in someone else. You may need to go over the terms of your contract with them if you don’t think you have been given your fair share. Or alternatively, you may need to speak to them about pulling out of the venture altogether. It might be a difficult thing to do or discuss, but you have to remember, if you don’t have enough money to help yourself then you can’t be using it to help someone else. It may seem selfish but at the end of the day if you are unhappy then arrangements may need to be changed.
