7 of Pentacles
The Seven of Pentacles invites you to look at what has grown before you carry on, to weigh the result and decide whether the method holds.

In front of a plant heavy with pentacles, the Seven of Pentacles shows a man leaning on his tool. The gaze leaves his hands to follow the stem and what grows on it, far from him.
Looking at the plant with dates in mind separates the branch that fills from the one that dries: you water what rises and you let what sleeps rest.
The tool stays down and the eye clings to the plant: you wait for the harvest while rereading the time already spent, and the neighbouring field moves on while you count.
RWS. Seven of Pentacles. Waite takes up a harvest motif: the fruit ripened at the end of the branch states the time needed before judging the work.
Take an hour, sheet in hand, to set what the work has cost against what it returns, then decide with that figure in front of you.
