From The Classic Tarot, the Seven of Coins; from the Constellations Cards, Serpens:
You need to go deeper, not wider.
—Darius Foroux
The vines in this card seem to hold empty sepals (the structures that hold the bud or fruit), implying that one cycle has ended and another will soon begin. There are three 'incoming' coins, two 'protected' coins and two 'outgoing.' Lee Bursten* suggests that Sevens encourage us to 'Go deeper.' In other words, don't just look at the surface of things; dig down into the soil and investigate the roots of what is being seen. Find what has shaped and formed the current situation. Serpens (serpent) is unique among modern constellations in that it is split into two parts. In Greek mythology, Serpens represents a snake held by the Asclepius, god of medicine. When we dig deeper, we have a chance to understand; we have a chance to heal or correct what is wrong and to continue with what is beneficial.
