Knight of Pentacles Angelic Tarot Card Meanings, Keywords and Correspondences

If all the Knights are on a quest for something, what is the Earth Element Knight questing for? It is usually one of two things: getting the job done or enjoying the good life (in a materialistic sense) in general and through food and drink in particular. He worked hard for it all so why shouldn’t he?!

The Knight of Pentacles and Abundance

The Knight of Pentacles has a lot to teach us about generating abundance. He knows it requires patience. And he understands that he may have to work hard for it. He doesn’t mind because he works with the Elements instead of against them. And the Element of Earth yields to his calloused and caring hands.

This Knight enjoys getting his hands dirty. He is nothing if not practical and he doesn’t mind taking orders. As long as he knows he’ll get there in the end, he’ll keep going for as long as it takes. He’s the ideal employee, provided he’s not expected to be innovative or motivate others.

Those of us with more sanguine temperaments could learn from this guy. He can teach us patience and perseverance. We may be full of ideas but we don’t always put them into action and when we do, we don’t always follow through. The Knight of Pentacles teaches us to keep going, day by day, even when we don’t see much in the way of results.

Common sensical

While common sense is said to be so rare as to be considered a superpower in this modern day and age, the Knight of Pentacles is not afflicted by a lack of it. He knows that any apparent overnight success is due to years of putting the shoulder to the wheel. At his best, most angelic self, he consistently expresses an inner standard of excellence in all his work and takes great delight in doing so. This Knight is the tortoise in the fable about the tortoise and the hare.

All the so-called “secrets of success” will not work unless you do.
~ Author Unknown

The blessing of the Knight of Pentacles is to help us understand that perseverance is a virtue that is just as important as courage. Meditate with him for a while if you lack stickability or can’t get excited about your work. He will help you see that all you need is the ability to focus on the task at hand and the rest will take care of itself. Your ambition is not what will win the day. Getting your hands dirty, day after day after day is what will help you reach your goals.

On the flip side, this sensual Knight can be downright lazy, stubborn and doggedly resistant to change. Which side are you expressing today? Are you a doer or do you prefer dreams of success while munching on a bar of chocolate in front of the telly? How can you harness more of this Knight’s positive qualities?

I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have.
~ Coleman Cox

Affirmation: “I consistently do my best and rejoice in a job well done.”

The Knight of Pentacles in Love and Romance

The quiet perseverance of the Knight of Pentacles may not appeal to those in pursuit of exciting or flamboyant lovers. However, he is extremely sensual and usually naturally gifted in the art of love-making.

Mr Dependable is an apt nickname for this courtier. He more than makes up for his lack of high-flying aspirations with his hard work and stackability. Or he does if you’re looking for a steady, no-frills, long-term relationship. Think ‘The Shire’ and simple pleasures such as food and drink. And more food. Because sometimes quantity is as important as quality to this Knight.

Most akin to the Taurean male astrologically, he’s a man of the senses but not so much of any sense superseding the regular five. He’s prone to scoff at anything ‘supernatural.’ And unlike the Knight of Swords, he won’t be inclined to argue his (lack of) beliefs. He’d rather get on with polishing his bike or mowing the lawn.

In the ole’ dating game, he typically relies on looks and traditional masculinity. The type of girl most likely to be attracted to him is the girlie girl who is more interested in the size of a man’s biceps and bike than his conversational skills.

Pros

He is extremely dependable.

He’s not into game-playing.

He is a hard worker. Work gives him a sense of fulfilment and purpose and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a career… grafting for the sake of grafting is fine.

He is sensual and pretty darn good in bed. He’s blessed by Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, in this department.

He is thick-skinned and doesn’t suffer from bad nerves or anxiety.

Cons

Can be emotionally unresponsive or just slow to react.

Unable/unwilling to provide conversational stimulus.

Lacks understanding for a partner who has an interest in the numinous side of life.

Too hung up on the physical – the romantic side of the relationship could suffer because of this.

Extremely conventional and easily lead by media.

Besides the Knight of Cups, this guy is the courtier most prone to jealousy. He often considers both partners and friends as ‘property.’

Situation, Challenge, Opportunity and Action Advice

Situation: This concerns hard work

Challenge: Don’t try to do it all in one go, little by little… patiently… and you will get there.

Opportunity: Your hard work and perseverance will definitely pay off

Action Advice: Time to put your shoulder to the wheel, with no expectation of instant pay-outs

Besides the Knight of Cups, this guy is the courtier most prone to jealousy. He often considers both partners and friends as ‘property.’

Type of date he prefers

Anything traditional. He knows how to carry himself in the world if there isn’t anything ‘weird’ going on. Learn what he considers weird and you’ll be fine.

Time from your first date until you introduce him to your parents

Two months in or thereabouts as it will probably coincide with a big holiday or celebration (assuming you share his traditional values). He’s a good date to bring to a friend’s wedding and don’t be surprised if he gets inspired to propose. He’s very into being in a committed relationship. It makes him feel safe.

Wedding style

Traditional. He’s not quite as sophisticated as the King of the same suit.

Type of dad he would make

You’ve gotta hand it to him… He makes a great dad! Devoted and dependable, he’ll be there for his children come rain or shine. He may not contribute much to their intellectual growth or curiosity but he will make them appreciate the valour of hard work.

His best match

If it’s true love, the Queen of Cups will make an excellent match because a) she is just the right amount of feminine to allow his strengths to shine and b) sexually, this Earth + Water combo make really nice mud pie. His worst match: The Queen of Wands because she a)would come across as too ballsy and b) requires way more excitement than he would ever be able to provide.

Situation, Challenge, Opportunity and Action Advice

Situation: This concerns hard work

Challenge: Don’t try to do it all in one go, little by little… patiently… and you will get there.

Opportunity: Your hard work and perseverance will definitely pay off

Action Advice: Time to put your shoulder to the wheel, with no expectation of instant pay-outs
