Knight of Pentacles

The slowest Knight of the deck, and the most trustworthy. Steady effort, methodical care, and a refusal to abandon the field halfway. Progress seems glacial, but no step you take will need to be retaken.

Stagnation, stubbornness, or a routine that has curdled into rut. The diligence has become inertia. Vary the pattern before it becomes the wall around you.

✦ The Illustration

A knight on a heavy dark horse stands motionless before ploughed fields, holding a single pentacle aloft. The horse is planted on all four hooves — this Knight does not charge; he arrives.

✦ Affirmation

“I work steadily and I trust that every honest step is ground held.”
