Seven of Pentacles
The Artwork
Two triangles, one pointing down to the world, one up toward the heavens, joined by a single rosette.
What This Card Means
Points to the altruistic, spiritual, transpersonal element of all we labor toward — the desire to benefit all of humanity through our works.
The Archetype
Two triangles meet at a single rosette, one reaching down toward the world, one up toward the heavens — the oldest alchemical image there is for matter and spirit needing each other. Jung leaned on this same symbolism constantly: work done purely for material gain and work done purely for meaning both stay incomplete without the other.
A Practice For Today
Notice today how one piece of practical work you do also serves something larger than just the paycheck or the outcome.
