King Of Pentacles Tarot Card

The King of Pentacles tarot card is the image of a regal king sitting on his throne, which looks to be carved from onyx, and decorated with bull's heads. He wears large gold crown and holds a scepter of gold in his right hand and a pentacle in his left hand. His left foot protrudes from his robes and is clad in a boot of armor, and he is resting it on a knight’s helmet. His robe is decorated with large clusters of purple grapes which reflect the grapevines full of fruit that curl around his feet. His castle appears in the background as if he sits on the terrace of a wing of his estate.

Enjoy the stability and security of your health. If you have physical issues you need to address, rest assured that you will deal with them in a timely manner and alleviate their effect on your life. In general, you will experience wellness and stability in terms of health.

After having spent a good part of your life focusing on material possessions and your career, it’s time to move your goals to more intangible pursuits.

The Reversed King Of Pentacles Tarot Card From The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

King of Pentacles Tarot Card Meanings Reversed- Weakness, vice, corruption, peril, perversity, authoritarianism, stupidity, clumsiness, greed, lack of money, uncaring, quiet, unsupportive friends, obscenity, materialism, paranoia, coldness, and lack of success.

The reversed King of Pentacles tarot card is not a good omen because it can mean failure to reach your goals, losing focus, and making poor judgments or decisions. In some cases this is due to a male with authority in your life who is influencing you to make choices for his benefit, not yours. He may be addicted to gambling, a lazy person, shallow and self-centered, or someone without a firm grip on reality. He may be bad at financial decisions, broke but willing to tell you how to spend your money, or bad at business. Steer clear of this person and remember to trust people who you actually want to be like, not those that just happen to have authority in your life.

Love & Relationships- Your relationship is potentially shaky because insecurities are hindering trust and transparency. Continuing down this road will only lead to a complete lack of security in your relationship and will breed really devastating consequences. In many cases it can be due to money. Budgeting issues are just as tough on a relationship as being a workaholic. Both have you fixated on money 100% of the time rather than on your partner. This can lead to manipulation, obsessiveness, possessiveness, control,  and eventually the collapse of your partnership. The best remedy is to take a step back from the money issues and focus on your partner. By fulfilling each other’s emotional needs you’ll find you weather financial issues more easily.

Money & Career- While a reversed King of Pentacles doesn’t necessarily mean a failure of business or career it can definitely mean instability. Perhaps your industry is going through a change and your job isn’t as secure as it once was or maybe you’ve lost the fire you had when you started your business. These are not bad things, per se, and all people experience them but they are a slippery slope if you’re given to pessimistic thoughts and self-destructive behaviors. Stay alert for stumbling blocks such as these and find support to cope with the changes. Another note- this card may also indicate someone in the company is discouraging you from succeeding. Keep your eyes open for overt or covert destruction and do not engage with this person because they are be prone to corruption and ruthlessness. Remain grounded and remind yourself who you are, what your goals are, and rely on your mentor to help you navigate the circumstance.

Health & Wellness- Your health may be a bit unstable right now, according to the inverted King of Pentacles tarot card. It seems that anxiety and stress are causing additional issues for you, physically. Of course, the best course of action is to relax and release the tension from your body through bodywork, yoga, mediation, and regular gentle exercise. On the topic of exercise, you may also be overexerting yourself in your workouts due to stress about “being strong enough” or “being thin enough” or “being fast enough”. Your extreme workout sessions may also stem from an addictive personality. You are doing more harm than good at this point so it’s time to address the anxiety and/or obsession about feeling inferior and allow your body to recover.

Spirituality- The takeaway for your spirituality is that this card is saying you’re still too focused on worldly possessions. You have the time, and the means, to grow spiritually but your fixation on finances and wealth is not allowing your pursuit of internal happiness. The wise words “you can’t take it with you when you die” are useful here because while money provides physical comfort in this world, only spiritual wealth will provide comfort as you transition to the next world. Don’t neglect this aspect of your life.
