Reliability, discipline, progress, slow, unshakable momentum
Overview
Symbolism
Meaning
A steady knight on a stationary horse contemplates a pentacle. The plowed field and slow pace evoke diligence, reliability, routine work, patience, and methodical progress.
Characteristics
This is the slowest moving and most diligent of all the knights. They will be the one to survive after nuclear warfare and tell the tale. This is the kind of person who will invest in something more expensive due to its quality and reliability as opposed to something cheap or overly Luxurious.
Don’t even think about rushing them. Everything they do is in their own time and when they have time. As hard working as they are, this knight is realistic the point of being a wet blanket. Their dreams are all obtainable, and they will achieve them all. It may take too long for them to start something, but once they do it cannot be taken away from them. All their time, energy and effort will go into this thing and they won’t let anyone take that glory from under their feet.
Meaning
You can be coming or going from a situation in the form of relocation, vacation or travel. This is anything gaining or losing in the material world. There may be somewhere new you’re going, or you’re shooting for a new position in life. If you decide to take the leap and go on an adventure, that adventure will greet you with success.
The knight also says that right now, practical application and a tight grip on your resources are crucial. Financial calamity may strike or has struck. Make as many adjustments to your finances as possible and begin saving for a disaster fund. Habits of putting money away will always keep catastrophe from derailing you. If something has already derailed you, this is a sign that there is money available to solve it, or material support from somewhere else.
A play-it safe mentality can get boring and may cause some to seek risqué behaviors. It’s wise to start looking into hobbies that occupy your mind to prevent from becoming too restless or too bold.
The Knight of Pentacles Reversed
The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
— Confucius
Stagnation, stubbornness, boredom, routine without growth
Meaning
Stagnation
While the knight of pentacles upright moves at a snails pace, while crushing all his goals in the process: The reversed is at a dead stop. They’re not moving anywhere. I’d imagine they are likely stuck looking at themselves in a mirror instead of making meaningful progress doing anything.
Stubbornness
There’s a drag path, then there’s whatever this is. It’s absolute refusal of everything. Stubbornness can be admirable in some cases, though in this one— it’s constant and unyielding. There is very little chance you will get an inch let alone a foot from this knight.
Boredom
Complacency, boredom. We know this knight doesn’t move fast, but this one could. They are simply so uninterested in everything that they won’t. Even the most painstaking tasks are handled painfully slowly. Molasses in an igloo could outpace this knight in reversed.
Routine without progress
Everyday, this knight gets up brushes their teeth, hits the gym, then goes out for fast food at the end of the day. There’s a constant setback working against them in everything they do. It’s a reward, they claim.
A unexpected financial setback
This knight brings news! It’s not good news. It won’t bankrupt you but it won’t make you happy.
