Upright Meaning:
Characterized as a person with drive, focus, and tenacity, but results will come slowly.
Drawing the Upright Knight of Pentacles in a career setting is a very good thing. It shows that when it comes to work, you have an unbreakable ambition, an unstoppable drive, and a needle-point focus. You’re committed to reaching your goals, no matter how long they take.
In the myth of Tortoise and the Hare, you’re the tortoise. For you, slow and steady wins the race, but your hard work will pay off, whether you’re looking for a job or opening your own business.
Characterized as financially responsible to the point of being frugal and conservatory.
A person who draws the Upright Knight of Pentacles for their finances is incredibly frugal but not cheap. Frugality means you avoid taking big risks with your money and will thus research every item meticulously until you find the best deal.
You’re more likely to buy an expensive item for other people than yourself; in fact, you’d rather budget and slowly save for a rainy day. You prefer to stay safe and err on the side of caution.
If you aren’t typically a frugal person, now is the time to start. Focus on saving now because you may need some extra funds in the near future, like for school, a home, or an emergency.
Reversed Meaning:
Characterized as a person with no ambition or someone obsessed with work.
Drawing a Reversed Knight of Pentacles could be a sign that you entirely lack ambition or you are so obsessed with your goals that you’re sacrificing everything else. Determining where you fall in these paradigms is up to you, so be honest with yourself.
If you have little motivation to work, you may need more effort to make your dreams a reality. If you’re working too hard, you need to cut back unless you want your life to turn into shambles. Both ends of the spectrum could indicate depression rather than implicate neglect of yourself or others. Regardless of why you’re doing what you’re doing, you need a better work-life balance.
Characterized by financial irresponsibility, impulsivity, and risky behaviors.
The Reversed Knight of Pentacles may rear its head when your impulsive behaviors are at their worst. You may be irresponsible with your purchase either lately, or it’s a habit you’ve formed over time. If you regret what you’ve bought or you don’t use what you buy, that’s an issue.
When this card appears, it’s telling you to be more careful with what you buy. Try researching items ahead of time or sit on a purchase for a week to a month to avoid impulse buys.
