Knight of Pentacles

UPRIGHT

A knight in heavy armor sits motionless on a draft horse, holding a pentacle and surveying a plowed field. He does not gallop. The Knight of Pentacles is the steady worker — methodical, reliable, willing to grind through what others abandon. The card honors patience and follow-through as their own kind of valor.

REVERSED

Reversed, the Knight of Pentacles is steadiness turned to stagnation, or thoroughness that has become an excuse not to move. The card can name a person stuck in the field they have plowed too many times, a relationship or career that has stopped growing because no one is willing to risk anything, or the querent's own confusion of caution with virtue.
