Seven of Pentacles and Three of Wands tarot card combinations

Cards combination description

Low arcan Seven of Pentacles and low arcan Three of Wands combination - working hard pays dividends and leads to small success

Card 1 - Seven of Pentacles

The Seven of Pentacles shows a young man who seems to be taking a break from his hard labor to admire the fruit and blossoms in his garden. He rests on his shovel as he is admiring the seven pentacles hanging from the lush green vegetation. The way that he is laying his head over hands seems to suggest a kind of fatigue - he has worked hard to make sure that this year's crop is a good one. Because he is focused on long term goals, he cannot touch his harvest right now, and only reserves one of the pentacles for himself, choosing to invest the others. With his efforts, he hopes to grow his crop for the long term.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
The Empress (fruitful harvest) Four of Wands (harvest home) Knight of Pentacles (results finally forthcoming) to some extent the Four of Pentacles (prepared to work hard towards a material goal).

Opposing or contradictory cards:
The Four of Cups (apathy) Four of Swords (inactivity) Five of Pentacles (financial lack)

Seven of Pentacles combinations
There are five cards that can all represent an increase in finance, so in large spreads (such as the Life Spread) watch for the appearance of the Ace of Pentacles, Six of Pentacles, Seven of Pentacles, Nine of Pentacles and Ten of Pentacles, the more that appear the more the message is reinforced and intensified.

Card 2 - Three of Wands

The Three of Wands depicts a man who is standing on the edge of a cliff, looking over the ocean and the mountains. From the cliff edge, he sees everything that is ahead of him. The Wands are planted into the ground and surround the man as he grasps one in his hand. He seems to look forward and reflect on both the commitment that he has for his plans, as well as the method of execution in order to bring them to reality.

Associations:

Similar or supporting cards:
A number of threes generally add to the mood, although more by way of supporting than similar: Three of Cups (celebrating) Three of Pentacles (mastery) The Empress (fruitful success) The World is more the end result, with the Three of Wands a smaller stepping stone.

Opposing or contradictory cards:
Four of Cups (apathy), Eight of Cups (abandoning plans) Death and Ten of Swords would bring a halt to progress.
