King of Pentacles

The King of Pentacles can represent a man of considerable wealth and power. Perhaps a banker, stockbroker, trader, or speculator. It would appear that this man knows how to make money work for him and once he turns his hand to something it is usually a financial success. He is generally a good provider, but caution is needed if he sees people as possessions. He may have an attitude that money can buy everything including love and loyalty.


When he spends money he will look for products the most likely to provide reliability and quality. He can also appear pretentious and flashy. He may overdress on occasion and appearances are very important to him.

If you encounter someone who embodies the energy of this King, be ready to challenge any attempts to control or manipulate you with money. Look past what you see on the surface and ask yourself, is this a good person to have in your life, or a shallow, pretentious, pretender in an expensive suit.


Trust your own judgement, be true to your own values and remember that the best things in life really are free. Whilst money and possessions can make you more comfortable, if the 'free' things are not there too, then happiness is unlikely to prevail.
