Knight of Pentacles
Knight of Pentacles
The Knight of Pentacles, like the knights of the other suits, represents work, effort, and the responsibility that follows upon the dreams of the page. Whereas the Page of Pentacles walks sleepily through his "field of dreams," the Knight of Pentacles sits upon a heavy plough horse in the midst of that same field. In his hands he too carries a single gold coin, but his eyes reflect careful thought and consideration rather than the dreamy gaze of the page. The knight is engaged in the often toilsome, routine efforts required to realise the dreams of his heart. He is building the foundations to support the castles the page has built in the air. The Knight of Pentacles, representing work and effort in the material realm, sits quietly upon his horse unlike the knights of the other suits who ride with careless energy toward their goals. This card is a symbol of care, diligence, and responsibility in the world.
The knight of pentacles is a person with the patience to accomplish all his tasks. He is reliable due to his sense of responsibility. If you are dependent on the efforts of someone else to help you accomplish some goal in life, they will prove trustworthy. Want the kind of personal fulfilment that only love or the grace of God can bring and to enjoy the simple things in life and all they have to offer. Your efforts will be rewarded in more ways than one.This guy is active in a maybe boring but very persistent way. He is loyal and patient and will help you finish what you started, diligently. He is very much about fulfilling obligations.
Reliability. You need to be a part of the implementation of a new business idea. Be trustworthy, reliable and a good provider. Speak seriously and only if you have something to say. Beware of being preoccupied with gain and possession.
On the positive side, the Knight of Pentacles is like a bulldog. Once he bites down, you can be sure he won't let go. He's dogged in pursuit of his goals. A hard-worker, he has tremendous stamina and dedication. Every job is always completed down to the last detail. He's careful and prudent, never wasteful. He knows the facts and is immune to false promises. On the negative side, this Knight is a bit stodgy and dull. He's not known for his playful sense of humour. Work always comes first. He tends to be inflexible and obsessive about little details. Stubborn to a fault, he refuses to give in even when wrong, something he'll never admit. He doesn't like change or risk and will always take the gloomiest view.
In readings, a Knight of Pentacles shows that his cautious style is (or could be) impacting the situation in some way - as an aspect of you, someone in your environment (man or woman) or the atmosphere in general. Ask yourself, "Is this Knight's energy helping or hurting?" If this Knight's style is evident, then balance is needed. Excess is only helpful in short bursts. Are you working too hard? Do you refuse to listen to reason? Do you have a perfectionist in your life? Is the atmosphere around you one of gloom-and-doom? It may be time for a change. If this Knight's energy is missing, a dose of prudence may be called for. Balance your life by moving toward him...at least a little. Are you spending too much? Maybe it's time to slow down. Do you give up too soon? Dig in and refuse to quit. Is your work often careless, late or incomplete? Next time resolve to work up a sweat and get the job done. Let the Knight of Pentacles introduce you to his world of care and persistence.
