Minor Arcana · Pentacles
Knight of Pentacles
The plough
Upright meaning
Slow, and never stopping. Unglamorous, but the one who always finishes what they took on.
Reversed meaning
Stagnation, rigidity, or dullness that costs you the opportunity.
What is in the picture
A knight sits on a heavy plough horse, and both of them are standing perfectly still. He holds a pentacle up and studies it, unhurried. Behind him a field lies ploughed in even furrows. Of the four knights he is the only one not moving — and the only one certain to arrive.
Love
Someone dependable who moves slowly and means it.
Career
Steady progress. Do not get impatient.
About this suit
