From the Tarot of the Masters, the Seven of Coins; from the Key to the Kingdom, the Two of Diamonds:
Ricklef's Seven of Coins is based on Jean-François Millet's Man with a Hoe, which shows a man resting from his labors. Any project or venture requires planning and then effort to put that plan into action. But for those who are wise, a pause to evaluate our work and its early results are necessary as well. As Kenichi Ohmae wrote, "Rowing harder doesn’t help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction." We may be pleased or displeased with what we see, but either way, we'll know which is the better direction to move in from that point. The rhyme assigned to the Two of Diamonds is "Polly put the kettle on, we'll all have tea." It is a reminder that a time out is helpful to allow us to rest, give our emotions a chance to ebb, and perhaps see with a clearer perspective.
