Knight of Pentacles
Reliability · Routine · Steadiness
The Knight of Pentacles is the card of steady progress. He is not the fastest knight, but he is the most reliable. It describes patience, routine and the slow, sure work that gets things done.
What is on the card
A knight in armour sits on a heavy black horse that stands perfectly still. He holds a pentacle out in front of him, and ploughed fields stretch out behind.
The still horse is patience and stamina, a strength that does not rush. The pentacle held out is a practical goal, and the ploughed fields are work done carefully and in order. He is the knight of follow-through.
