King of Pentacles

"Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature." - Steve Maraboli

Element of earth power: The King of Pentacles is perceived as a provider and a protector to those under his care. He is the exact mirror of the Queen of Pentacles; his environment is seen as a flourishing and abundant kingdom where its citizens are prosperous and encouraged to grow. He is naturally responsible and reliable, and through the wisdom granted to him by his suite, he has grown all that he has acquired from practically nothing.


To see him in your cards is to envision success that is won by earnest work.

Generally, this card reminds us to stay in control of our energy and our resources when in pursuit of a larger goal. Should the King of Pentacles not represent a man, it could be considered that the mind is masculine in its expression of creative and assertive endeavors for a particular goal.

When it comes to work, the King of Pentacles may refer to a more established man who will play a significant role in your career. This man can be wise and rational, but he may also be careless when passing judgment. He can be your biggest supporter, but be prepared to receive unsolicited and harsh criticism. With regards to finances, the King of Pentacles is one of the best cards to receive. This may mean that your financial situation is stable as a result of your wise investments and hard work. In case you are taking a gamble, be sure to initiate a calculated action.

The King of Pentacles represents an achievement of a financial milestone. Perhaps you have reached a level of security that comes from being diligent and wisely saving and investing. Since this King is also generous, you may also be using your newfound wealth to support loved ones, while enjoying the luxuries that you may have missed out on while you were saving. Indulge a little, you deserve it.

The King of Pentacles makes for a great partner, parent, and provider. He is demonstrative of his love through action instead of words, and looks to create a stable and loving home for his family. If you meet this person, they may be slow to make a commitment, but this is only because they take love very seriously, and need to truly understand you before taking any next steps. If this is the person that you’ve been waiting for, they will love you for who you are.

While not representing a person, the King of Pentacles can suggest a time in your relationship which is secure and stable. The two of you will be very comfortable, both emotionally with each other, and materially. You may have worked very hard in the past to enjoy your current standards of living, and you can now relax.


At times of imbalance: The King of Pentacles may become disconnected from the caring nature within the heart, which could lead to becoming cold and distant, even harsh and controlling.

Medicine: Practice nurture and care for the self at times when there is an over abundance of doing more then you should. Always remember to remain objective and balanced in all that you do.

Mantra: I am balanced and grounded.
