Okay, so, the other day I was doing a tarot reading for my friend Sarah. She’s been feeling kinda weird about this guy she’s seeing, Mark. Not bad weird, just… uncertain. So, she asked me, “What are Mark’s feelings for me?” I pulled a few cards, and bam, the 7 of Pentacles pops up.
At first, I was like, “Hmm, okay, interesting…” Because, you know, the 7 of Pentacles isn’t exactly fireworks and romance. It’s more like… gardening. Seriously, the picture on most cards is a person looking at a bush with pentacles growing on it. They’ve put in the work, planted the seeds, and now they’re just… waiting. Waiting and watching to see what grows.
My Interpretation Process
- First Impression: My gut reaction was, “He’s invested, but patient.” It wasn’t a passionate “I’m head over heels” vibe. More like a “I’ve put in some effort, and I’m curious to see where this goes” feeling.
- Considering the Question: Since Sarah specifically asked about feelings, I knew I had to dig deeper than just “waiting.” I mean, you don’t feel waiting, right? You feel the things that happen while you’re waiting.
- The Details: I looked closer at the card. The figure often looks contemplative, maybe a little tired, but also hopeful. There’s a sense of quiet anticipation.
- Putting it Together: This is what I told Sarah: “I think Mark does have feelings for you, but they’re not fully formed yet. He’s in a ‘wait and see’ mode. He’s put in some emotional effort, and now he’s observing, evaluating, and letting things develop naturally. He’s likely feeling a mixture of hope, curiosity, and maybe a little bit of guardedness. He’s not rushing things.”
- Action time: I told my friend, he is being patient, and investing his time into the relationship, don’t rush things, try to enjoy the time being together!
It wasn’t the dramatic answer she might have wanted, but it felt honest. The 7 of Pentacles, as feelings, is about that slow burn, that careful cultivation of something that has potential. It’s about the feelings of anticipation, hope, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing something you’ve nurtured start to grow. We finished the session, she seemed statisfied, hope everything will be fine for her, and Mark, finger crossed!
