What Seven of Pentacles means as a person

Think of the personality in the cards as the frame and Seven of Pentacles as the picture. The frame asks about who this card describes; the picture shows the restless trial of matter — Patience, long-term investment, assessment, and reward. Put them together and the upright meaning is: who this card describes is currently characterised by patience, investment, assessment, reward, and the card endorses that state rather than warning against it.

It helps to remember what this card is not. Seven of Pentacles is not a verdict about worth; it is a description of matter in motion. The restless trial of matter — held lightly, that theme informs without imprisoning. The cards describe weather; you still choose the clothing.

Seven of Pentacles reversed as a person

Do not read the reversal as the opposite of the upright meaning; read it as the same meaning under pressure. Seven of Pentacles reversed as a person keeps the restless trial of matter on the table but moves it somewhere harder to work with — underground, where who this card describes gets answered by avoidance instead of honesty. Naming the avoidance is usually the whole work.
