What does the Knight of Pentacles Tarot card mean?

Learn the meaning of the Knight of Pentacles Tarot card in under a minute!


Knight of Pentacles Upright Meaning

This card is usually called The Knight, but in some modern decks appears as the Prince. Traditionally, this card in this suit pictures an overseer of fertility and growth. His period of ascendancy is during the quiet years between conflicts, when everybody can collaborate in raising the collective standard of living. His horse is usually huge and thickset, more suitable to pulling a plow than riding swiftly into battle. His temperament is easygoing and relaxed, he's moving at the rate of the flow, because he knows that you can't hurry time.

Seeing the bigger picture, like a farmer planning for the future, he doesn't allow momentary fads or fancies to distract him, and he doesn't take seriously those who do. One can feel his stability and dedication -- he is totally responsible and even somewhat predictable when it comes to his projects. He is earthy and gentle, as simple and deep as the soil he tills and the flowers he loves.

Knight of Pentacles Reversed Meaning

The Knight of Coins reversed suggests that you should stop wasting energy on people who can't appreciate you. Stop throwing good money after bad.

Cease wasting your blood, sweat and tears on enterprises dominated by people who can't appreciate you. In this instance, you would benefit the whole situation by moving on instead of being so loyal and true.

Knight of Pentacles Advice Position

When the Knight of Coins (in some decks, The Prince) falls in this position you are being advised to offer up your services to some project or enterprise in front of you. Your willing participation can make the difference between a marginal performance and a great one.

The entire endeavor will be enhanced significantly by the resources you bring to it and you will be blessed tenfold. Expect to supervise and guide the project as well as influence the outcome of events. Without you on board, this endeavor is just another good idea.

Knight of Pentacles Love Position

The Knight of Coins (in some decks, a Prince) in this position portrays you as someone who is responsible, patient, and of practical service. You realize that with right timing and proper attention, wise investments in a future relationship may multiply, like a field that has been cultivated.

This does not have to do with greed or even the profit motive as we think of it now. Your contribution is like that of the farmer who sows a field of grain for the sake of the entire community. Your service does not stop there, however. The crop of love and closeness that you treasure must be allowed to grow unmolested by predators or thieves. That's another reason we need to summon forth the stalwart knight who can be trusted to protect and defend the community and its harvest. This card implies generous usefulness of all types.

Knight of Pentacles Career Position

When the Knight of Coins (in some decks, a Prince) is in this position, it is time to get to work. Even though the tasks at hand may be less than glamorous, your skills, good sense and preparation are being called for now. How well you undertake this endeavor could affect your career goals.

The Knight of Coins is the least sophisticated of the four. He is the one most likely to be found in the fields with the hired hands, using his horse to drag the plow with dirt under his nails and sweat on his brow. That same lack of pride and pretense belongs to you. When coupled with the honest willingness to do a good day's work, you become the person to spotlight right now.

Although it is clear you are not craving the spotlight, do not distract attention from yourself. Part of your instructional value is to show coworkers that no one is so important that they can't put their shoulder to the wheel when needed.

Knight of Pentacles in a Yes or No Card Reading

The Knight of Coins is a card of observation and long-term planning. If you're looking for simple Yes or No guidance and receive the Knight of Coins, the answer is NO. Take a step back and watch carefully for a while before making your intentions known.
