It can somewhat be an indecision, my experience with this card is deciding if you should keep what you've been working so hard for or take what you've have learned and move on to something that may provide better opportunities, usually looking for better finances or material benefits, but I guess it would depend on surrounding cards. The fruits are in my eyes fully ripe but maybe they can be bigger and juicier and yeild more profit, it's just deciding on whether or not to persue it or keep what you have, it's like trying to decide if you should start over even though what you've been doing may very well be working but perhaps there's more that can be gained. LOL I hope that made sense, when merc goes rx so does my brain!GoddessArtemis said:So would the 7 of Pentalces mean a time of indecision? The woman is waiting for something, though it's unclear why she's not climbing the ladder to collect the fruits of her labor. Is she waiting for a better time? Is she hoping the pentacles will fall off on their own and she won't have to put in the final efforts to climb the ladder? Or is she simply waiting for the 'right' time, for the 'fruits' to fully ripen?
I hadn't thought about the squirrel as possibly taking the pentacles away. That's interesting. I had also thought of the sheep, the squirrel, and the scenery as reminiscent of Spring/Summer. Maybe she's waiting for harvest time, though just looking at the card alone, that's not very clear to me.

EDIT:I wanted to add, I don't know about anyone else, but there is the one pentacle (fruit) at the bottom of the tree, it always catches my eye every time I see it, it's kinda shaded out, like it's a rotting or doesn't have room to get any better, it makes me feel like although great progress has been made, there is no more room to grow, and things get be a little clausterphobic, she's looking to me like she's trying to figure out what exactly to do with the tree, nurture it to keep things the way they are or plant new seeds. hmm, I guess either way once you get to the 8 there is hard work ahead no matter what option you choose.
I love this deck, unfortunatley I don't read it all too well.
