The Seven of Pentacles

Upright

The day to day tasks associated with enterprise. Cultivation. Caring for the crop. Waiting for the harvest, but not idly. Pruning, fertilizing, watering. The hard work and patience required to make things grow. Doing the routine things it takes to stay on the road to prosperity.

Reversed

Anxiety results in poor quality work. Apprehension about competitors fuels rash decisions. Harvesting before the grain is ready. Working hard for little return, often as a result of impatience. Perhaps insufficient resources are available to do the job properly.
