Upright Meaning:

If you pull the Seven of Pentacles upright in a health reading, this is good news. Your hard work is going to pay off. You may have started a healthier diet, perhaps joined a gym, or begun to learn yoga.

Whatever you’ve just started, keep it up! This turnaround is going to be lasting, so keep working to make it a habit. You will reach your goals and maintain this healthy lifestyle. Good for you!

Reversed Meaning:

Unfortunately, if this card is reversed in a health reading, it means quite the opposite. You’re doing something that won’t last. It might be too drastic of a diet that works immediately but isn’t sustainable.

It might be too much of a hardcore workout to start with and might intimidate you or do damage to your body that pushes you away physically and mentally. Whatever you’re trying, even if you’re seeing immediate results, it’s not going to be something you can sustain.

This regiment won’t last regardless of the number on the scale or your new muscle tone. I recommend taking a step back and re-prioritizing your goals. If you want to lose weight, start with simple ways to integrate healthy foods into your diet along with realistic workout goals. As you gain momentum, you can scale up. Starting too big too fast can end up doing more harm than good.
