Seven of Pentacles as Reconciliation (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Pentacles is the card of growth, progress, patience, perseverance, and results. This card shows a man watching over his garden.

Your person is also willing to make necessary compromises to make the commitment work.

If you’ve recently split up, Seven of Pentacles means they feel like they missed out on a potentially beautiful future with you. They regret being less patient with you.

Your person still holds a torch for you and is hopeful you can make things work in the long run. Reconciliation will work if good communication is cultivated and both nurture each other’s needs.

If the two of you are still considering whether or not you should break up, Seven of Pentacles means your person is stalling.
