The image of the Knight of Pentacles as depicted in the Rider Waite deck is a Knight who rides on his heavy work horse, symbolizing the hard work necessarily when tilling your soil for growth. He gallops through a field that is newly plowed. He wears green in his helmet and there is a sprig of green in the bridle of his horse as well. He is the strength of the plowed field; he wields the abundance of the earth in his hands. The Knight can be a bit of a materialist, the more that he has, the more abundant he feels, as depicted by his direct focus on the shining gold pentacle in front of him.

You can also choose this card in your reading to represent a black haired, or black eyed person.

This Knight asks you to seriously consider the importance of empowering yourself to take actions that go beyond the practical pay attention to the desire for adventure that flows through your veins. If you become purely practical, then you cut yourself off from what matters and more importantly, the deeper meanings of life.

But you need to trust that there are more horizons to pursue then you know at this time, so don’t block out the higher messages that you receive from the Universe that will motivate you to do better things. You are the type of person who will be able to make something new from structures that already exist, both metaphorically and physically. You are a thorough person, who is willing to always do a great job and is trustworthy. You love activity and have a youthful energy around you and you desire to help those that are less fortunate. If you allow yourself to come to know the true meaning of your life, then you will know how to face whatever comes, especially the unknown. Consider teaching what you have learned with others to complete the cycle of knowledge. At this time you must decide who in your life is stable, who can you trust to be committed to the work that you do?

The Knight of Pentacles in Love

The Knight of Pentacles represents the Knight on his mighty steed, someone to come in and rescue you. But unlike the Knight of Swords, whose ability to commit hasn’t quite evolved yet, the Knight of Pentacles is that person who wants to stabilize, to have a commitment with longtime support. You have entered into this period of your life now and must, therefore, attract someone like yourself in order to gain the long-term happiness in romance that you seek. The Knight of Pentacles represents romantic stability and a nurturing energy. You will receive good tidings with love; therefore make sure that your life is ready for it.

In love readings, if you pull a knight of pentacles in an action position this can represent a relationship that has staying power and long-term prospects but needs patience.

As an outcome in love readings, the knight of pentacles illustrates the importance of values and the need to nurture a relationship if you wanted to succeed. Elementally speaking, the knights in love readings are fiery, they connect fire in their own suit. Therefore, the Knight of Pentacles represents a physical existence and understands the physical needs in life. As he is an earth sign this makes him conservative. The knight of pentacles is a knight in shining armor that is steady and grounded in love. He can represent a relationship taking root and growing. Put simply, you may not rush into commitment and this shows you desire the stability in relationships and the material world to form a long-lasting emotional bond.

In a matter of finances and abundance, much currently feels as if it is stuck at a standstill. Understandably you need some encouragement. You have become bored.
