Seven of Pentacles – Timing

When will something happen answer?

If it is a question that involves around the timing of an event and you pull the Seven of Pentacles, this would mean that whatever you desire or wonder about will manifest. Still, it will take time, as an Earth element indicates growth, but a steady and long one.

How soon is that, it would be kind of complicated because it could mean Autumn time, or that of a Zodiac Sign season Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn.

It would also be counted in months, or around the 7th, 16^th, 25^th, of a month.

The way you want to interpret this is keeping in mind that whatever you are asking about is coming slowly, but surely, from there, you would figure out the time.

With the Pentacles Suit, the best way to go around figuring out the time would always be to think 2-7 months later, and it would go something like this: If it is already Autumn, your best bet would be around Capricorn or Taurus season, which is seven months away, or around seven months away. Either way is coming, but it needs time to grow into what you desire.
