KING OF PENTACLES DESCRIPTION
The King of Pentacles Tarot card represents the pinnacle of material success, but also deep introspection and transformation. The King’s universe is in perfect order.
The castle in the background and the grey stone wall in the King of Pentacles Tarot card, from which the King can overview the deep valley behind him, show that the outside world cannot touch him. As does his suit of armour.
The King of Pentacles’ crown and scepter are signs of power and authority. He does not need to resort to violence and oppression. The roses and lilies on the crown symbolize a perfect balance between sensual and spiritual love.
The laurel wreath around it represents peace and victory. His throne is made from black stone. Four bullheads are carved into it. The color of the King’s throne symbolizes constancy, but it also has an ominous quality. The bullheads in the King of Pentacles Tarot card represent power and strength but also sacrifice.
The grapes on his robe signify transformation. When they are fermented for winemaking, their physical bodies are destroyed and transformed into alcohol – or “spirits.”

General: In general, the King of Pentacles urges us to be good stewards: of our lives, of our energies, and the concrete resources that are available to us. If he's referring to a man in your life, know that this is a man who you can believe in and trust absolutely.
Work: An older, established man plays a major role in your working environment (even if on the surface, it seems that you work with all women.) This man is wise, fair, but somewhat quick to pass judgment.This man may become a staunch supporter of yours even if you've not met him thus far. Be prepared for scrutiny at all times – you'll be glad that you were.
Love: This King is an excellent omen with regard to love. Someone may come along and absolutely sweep you right off of your feet. Yes, try to put your best foot forward, but don't pretend to be someone that you are not.
This person will love you for exactly who you are. Be honest and everything should fall into place. If you're currently involved with someone, the relationship may very well move into a more comfortable place.
Finances: The King of Pentacles is an excellent card to receive with regard to financial questions. Your finances are very likely to be on the upswing, largely due to your own efforts and/or wise investments. This is not a time to speculate wildly. Take calculated risks, perhaps, but don't get carried away.
Health: Your health status can be improved if you make a point to face and to vent negative feelings; however you of course must be thoughtful about how, where, and when you do so. Tradition and ritual can be comforting to you now. What comforts the soul, would also comfort your body.

REVERSED KING OF PENTACLES
|
When reversed, the King of Pentacles Tarot card challenges you to adopt a more flexible attitude.
If the King of Pentacles Tarot card applies to a relationship, it is a reminder that your partner comes first, your friends second. The King of Pentacles reversed tends to be outer-directed, meaning that you tend to identify yourself by your outer accomplishments, without recognizing that who you are inside is of enormous value, regardless. General: No matter what happens in your life when the reversed King of Pentacles appears, it's important to know that your happiness and success are not built on one or even a handful of events. This is a time to consciously cultivate a positive attitude. Work: As with the upright King, the reversed King can point to an older, established man who plays a major role in your working environment (even if on the surface, it seems that you work with all women.) Do the best that you can at work, but realize that your work is not your whole life and know that some people (which may include the man represented by this reversed King) simply cannot be pleased. All you can do is your best and that's enough. Love: The reversed King of Pentacles can indicate that someone you care about is having a hard time because of issues related to their work (or lack thereof.) Help them to remember that their value goes far beyond what they "do." If you are single and looking for love, you may meet someone new now who works in the financial field in some way. |

Finances: The King of Pentacles reversed tells you that it's important to think very long-range when it comes to finances and financial investments. Do not identify yourself or your long-term prospects with any potential short-term downturns. Money is just a tool. Beware of thinking of yourself as a failure if you are facing financial challenges.
Health: As with the upright meaning, the reversed King of Pentacles tells you that your health status can be improved if you make a point to face and vent negative feelings. You must watch for and guard against a tendency to think of yourself as a failure just because you may not have yet met certain goals that you set for yourself.
