When I interpret the 7 of Pentacles, and all of the 7s, I am influenced by the Jewish significance of 7 (maybe Kabbalah, too?) as holy...
...on the 7th day, God rested from the work of creation...
...six branches on the lampstand in the tabernacle abiding in the 7th center vine...
I do know the number is not necessarily always good in this sacred numerology as the fearsome beast has seven heads--along with 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls in Revelation. Pharaoh's dreams which Joseph interpreted included 7 good cows and 7 lean cows, 7 good ears of grain and 7 blighted ears (representing years of feat and famine). In these cases 7 seems like a final curtain or complete set.
Anyway, when I see the 7 of Pentacles and a worker resting over harvest, I always associate the Sabbath, first fruits, rest, holiness, dedication, consecration...
