Knight of Swords + 7 of Pentacles — Thoughts on This Combo for a Yes/No?

Hey everyone! I know yes/no questions aren’t always ideal with tarot, but I went for it this morning and could use a second opinion on the cards that came up.

Background: I have a chronic illness and haven’t had much luck with Western medicine, so I’ve been exploring some alternative approaches. The one I asked about is really expensive, and I wanted some clarity on whether it’s worth continuing or if my money might be better spent elsewhere.

I shuffled until something jumped out (as I usually do), and I pulled the Knight of Swords, with the 7 of Pentacles stuck right to the back of it.

Here’s my take:

Knight of Swords feels like a “depends on your drive” kind of answer. Like, it's not necessarily a yes or no—more like how much are you willing to commit, and do you know what you're getting into?
7 of Pentacles is one I pull a lot, and I usually read it as a reminder to be patient and trust the process—that the work I’m doing now (especially health-wise) will eventually pay off... even if it’s not instant. (Clearly still working on that lesson since this card keeps showing up 😂)

I’m curious how others would interpret this combo in the context of a yes/no question. Appreciate any insight—thanks in advance! 💛

I get a similar vibe from this combo. The 7 of Pentacles really feels like a reminder that clarity will come with time—like, stay the course and your efforts will start to show results, even if it’s slower than you’d like.

The Knight of Swords can be a bit impulsive, so maybe it’s also a heads-up not to rush into a decision just because you're eager for progress. Take a step back, look at all your options, and try not to act too quickly.

That said, I totally agree with your interpretation—and as always, trust your gut! Your intuition is usually the best guide. 😊

I’d personally take this as a yes!

The 7 of Pentacles suggests the results might take some time, but that the effort will pay off — so it’s more of a "be patient, it’s coming" kind of message. And the Knight of Swords, to me, is a strong sign of good intentions. Like, this path is meant to help you, even if it’s not an overnight fix.

So yeah, I think you can trust this approach. It feels like a green light — just with a bit of a wait attached. 😊
