You are a dependable person, with good instincts who is watchful as well as a good physical leader. The Knight of Pentacles offers protective assistance, a sense of duty as well as loyalty. He is practical and athletic. If this Knight represents you as the queryent, then you are a super protective kind of person whose sense of duty and loyalty really motivates your life experience. You are able to see the expansive side of things in life, the potential that all of the world possesses should we only take a hold and allow it to move us. You are going through a happy transit of the pursuit of success and abundance.

The image of the Knight of Pentacles as depicted in the Rider Waite deck is a Knight who rides on his heavy work horse, symbolizing the hard work necessarily when tilling your soil for growth. He gallops through a field that is newly plowed. He wears green in his helmet and there is a sprig of green in the bridle of his horse as well. He is the strength of the plowed field; he wields the abundance of the earth in his hands. The Knight can be a bit of a materialist, the more that he has, the more abundant he feels, as depicted by his direct focus on the shining gold pentacle in front of him.

You can also choose this card in your reading to represent a black haired, or black eyed person. He is the type who is willing to work hard to get what he wants out of life, he does not believe in getting something for nothing, unless he can feel the spiritual connection involved. He is a trustworthy person and he symbolizes the coming or going of an important matter connected with money.

During the time that the Knight of Pentacles is transiting your life, you must take advantage of the active energy that surrounds you. You must set goals that you are capable of achieving so that you may track your progress and gain confidence in endeavoring in future attempts for success. Make a list so you can check things off. This Knight asks you to seriously consider the importance of empowering yourself to take actions that go beyond the practical pay attention to the desire for adventure that flows through your veins. If you become purely practical, then you cut yourself off from what matters and more importantly, the deeper meanings of life.

Sometimes it is challenging to make a decision when things feel secure. But you need to trust that there are more horizons to pursue then you know at this time, so don’t block out the higher messages that you receive from the Universe that will motivate you to do better things. You are the type of person who will be able to make something new from structures that already exist, both metaphorically and physically. You are a thorough person, who is willing to always do a great job and is trustworthy. You love activity and have a youthful energy around you and you desire to help those that are less fortunate. If you allow yourself to come to know the true meaning of your life, then you will know how to face whatever comes, especially the unknown. Consider teaching what you have learned with others to complete the cycle of knowledge. At this time you must decide who in your life is stable, who can you trust to be committed to the work that you do?

The Knight of Pentacles in Love

The Knight of Pentacles represents the Knight on his mighty steed, someone to come in and rescue you. But unlike the Knight of Swords, whose ability to commit hasn’t quite evolved yet, the Knight of Pentacles is that person who wants to stabilize, to have a commitment with longtime support. You have entered into this period of your life now and must, therefore, attract someone like yourself in order to gain the long-term happiness in romance that you seek. The Knight of Pentacles represents romantic stability and a nurturing energy. You will receive good tidings with love; therefore make sure that your life is ready for it. Are you really ready for a partnership that matters? Are you ready to be fully involved and committed to someone else? If this question gives you pause, then consider what it would take for you to be ready. What preparations must you make?

The knight of pentacles in love readings can indicate a male who can be somewhat “boring” in love but nevertheless trustworthy, dependable and also patient. He is holding a pentacle in his hand and in love matters, it shows an individual that can be skillful. He knows what he wants and is prepared to work for it. In love readings, if you pull a knight of pentacles in an action position this can represent a relationship that has staying power and long-term prospects but needs patience. The question though is if you are going to be “in love” for years to come? This relationship has staying power but there is a question if it has the chemistry. The knight of pentacles is somewhat vulnerable, he definitely has a lack of ego that we might the Knight of Swords. He really cares people and also provides a stable environment. The male force in the relationship is sensitive, and he does not seem as emotional like the knight of cups. I often like to think that the night of Pentacles is connected with somebody who has a dark complexion. In love and relationship spreads, this tarot card clearly shows that youcan depend on this person for love. The knight of pentacles in love is connected to someone who has OCD tendencies and also possible shyness but also “staying power” characteristics.

The Knight himself is trustworthy and can be quite thick skinned. In regard to astrology, he is connected to Virgo, and holds strong emotions. As an outcome in love readings, the knight of pentacles illustrates the importance of values and the need to nurture a relationship if you wanted to succeed. Elementally speaking, the knights in love readings are fiery, they connect fire in their own suit. Therefore, the Knight of Pentacles represents a physical existence and understands the physical needs in life. As he is an earth sign this makes him conservative. The knight of pentacles is a knight in shining armor that is steady and grounded in love. He can represent a relationship taking root and growing. Put simply, you may not rush into commitment and this shows you desire the stability in relationships and the material world to form a long-lasting emotional bond.

Reversed Knight of Pentacles in a reading

In a matter of finances and abundance, much currently feels as if it is stuck at a standstill. Understandably you need some encouragement. You have become bored. Right now you must recognize that fear is a powerful force that is causing you to hold onto what you know, regardless of whether or not it actually makes you happy. Now is the time for you to let go of the people in your life that do not make you feel good. If they are distracting you from your goals by bringing drama or frustration in your life then they do not belong. There are those who would try to bring you down the minute you start having successes in your life because they are not happy with theirs, you must not allow them to get under your skin. Begin to slough off the old so that you can make room for the new.

The Eight of Pentacles gives you a taste of success but reminds you that you can’t have what you want overnight.

There is a goal in sight for you right now and you are on the right path – learning new tricks, creating healthy environments around you, and otherwise doing what you can to succeed. The Eight of Pentacles is a reminder not to give up and to continue on the path that you are on now.

When this card comes up in a reading it usually will accompany a daunting time in one’s life where life seems mechanical or monotonous. Consider daily tasks in which you are bored from doing the same repetitive motions. You may feel like you are caught in a rat race or that you are trying with your all but you are not getting anywhere. Often before we can advance onto higher lessons in life we have to continue taking baby steps. You may feel that you are ready for more or that you should be doing more in your life… however if you feel this way then you are probably discounting the actions you take and their importance. Right now is an important time in your life and you are on the cusp of something greater. It is important to not quit just yet and allow your actions to complete their cycle.

The man on the Eight of Pentacles card is working diligently at creating new coins out of wood and then placing them onto a tree. The background sky is white and is indicative of purity and spirituality. Often it is assumed that he is an apprentice of some sort of trade and that the coins and the wood are symbolisms of his future prosperity. Like the apprentice, you are learning skills for your life so that you can ultimately get what you want. You need to learn to take pride in your small accomplishments. Avoid downplaying your own efforts.

The card can also be a sign that you need to lighten up on someone around you. Rather than focusing on you as the apprentice, the Eight of Pentacles be showing you as the master in a relationship in your life, where you have the skills to succeed but someone around you is not quite up to par with you. In work and love both this card can indicate problems that can be easily resolved with patience and communication. The overall message of the Eight of Pentacles is that hard work and determination will allow you to succeed. Whatever your role is regarding this card, communication, building a foundation, and consistency is key to the questions that you have of life right now.

The Eight of Pentacles in Love

When dealing with other people in relationships petty arguments and bickering is bound to happen. The Eight of Pentacles comes up when there are small complaints in the relationship or insecurities about a partner. If either of these situations are you then the Eight of Pentacles is reminding you that we are not all perfect. We must all start somewhere in order to grow on your path and it is likely that you are with your partner at this time for a reason. You more than likely have some information or experiences that will prove beneficial to your partner.

Right now is a good time to think of ways in which you can offer yourself as an example, rather than a standard. Think of the ways in which you express to your partner and how the two of you work together. You may find that you are being looked to for guidance and that you are being too harsh in your own judgments. When looking for love, the Eight of Pentacles has a different meaning entirely. In this case traditionally the card turns around and places you back as the apprentice and advises to take small steps forward right now. Focus first on ways that you are ready for love and cultivate those. Be aware that you likely still have old emotions or hang ups from a previous relationship that need to be resolved so that you do not repeat past mistakes.

The Eight of Pentacles in Health

The Eight of Pentacles is a card that represents a work in progress. The card can be somewhat concerning in health because it usually will symbolize that you have been working hard for your health goal and yet you are not seeing the desired responses. Whatever your health concern is, right now you need to take a step back and look at the process you are taking. Consider what ways you are doing counter-productive actions and which efforts are simply not enough. Do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed with the larger picture at hand. Take one step at a time and do not lose sight of your goal.

It can be a good time to ask someone else for assistance that has dealt with similar health issues before or seek the motivation of others. Because of the earthy energy of the card and the suit of pentacles in general, you may find that you are getting overwhelmed from your efforts. Try not to beat yourself up. Realizing that you are doing what you can and that questioning the reasons of your actions or making excuses are not going to get you anywhere.

The Eight of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

The Eight of Pentacles usually indicates a beginning in one way or another regarding both work and finance. Even if you are the boss of a company and know your industry like the back of your hand, there are still things that you need to learn. Allow yourself the opportunity to increase your knowledge base at this time and work on exercises that are going to grow you expertise. Now is not a good time to be making HUGE changes in your life of finance or career, rather you want to focus on the smaller changes that you can make as well as to jump on opportunities to network, learn, and grow.

The Eight of Pentacles is also a thinking card. Your focus is important right now. You may notice that you have bitten off more than you can chew in a work project or are feeling discouraged about a lack of progress in finances. Remember that even mistakes are opportunities to grow. Take what you can out of even the worst of situations and apply it to future opportunities. The loss will work out in the end and may even prove to be for the best. 

In work the eight of Pentacles implies that you are working but are not paid what you should be. Reversed this card indicates that the work is efficient. As he has already completed five of the pentacles which are above him it can indicate that work is not finished. Like the seven of pentacles which is all about patience, the eight can suggest that on the 8th pentacle you can publicly show your strength. This card can indicate you are producing some results but it will take time. Additionally, that you are completely dedicated and also learning at the same time. In some tarot books, this card is seen in work as being responsible but above all, it implies that you can accomplish things well but you need to understand that things are needed in detail. If you are looking for work, been to a job interview then this is a positive card, it can imply that you are committed to new tasks and generally you have so much on your plate.

This card also indicates cash and career developments. The 8 is a great card for business and it shows that you will a “master” and you will make enough money in life.

The Seven Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Wands is depicted by a young man who appears to be standing on a precipice fighting for his land.

There are six enemies attacking below. If you have received this card in your reading, this symbolizes success against opposition and a certain victory through courage. Right now you are gifted with added perspective that your opposition does not have. You can see farther and wider so you can prepare for a potential attack if need be. This is an excellent card to see you through challenges so that you can come out the winner.

The important thing to do now is to make your point of view, or position clear and then stand by what you feel is the most important right now and do not compromise or try to settle for less. You are under a certain amount of pressure, but you have more flexibility than those that are putting that pressure on you, in this you have the upper hand. In time you will be able to understand the situation more clearly because the Seven of Wands is a card of inner strength and force of will. You are capable of pushing through any adversity.

One of the aspects of receiving this card is the notion that at this time you will need assistance from others. One of the great things about not living alone on an island is that we are able to bounce thoughts and ideas off of one another to better our life experiences. To learn, to grow, to be strong; to find what makes us happy and what does not and to learn to cast away more of what does not. With the assistance of others you will meet the obstacles that you are running into head on and push past them. You must not try to fight this alone, even though you are capable. There is something you need to learn from asking for help right now. You are a natural born leader in this instance, however, so others will look to you for instruction. In this they will help you and you will help them.

As it stands, because of your intense bravery and willingness to fight for what you believe in, you are already enlightened enough to understand that the environment and everything in it is all a part of one life spirit. This means that your ‘enemies’ so to speak, have as much of a relationship with you as your brothers and sisters. Together we are operating in the same sphere at the same time in order to progress at our varying levels. Understanding this concept will bring you more strength. Meditate on this.

Your belief systems may be put to the test now, because you have something to lose, but continue to have confidence in yourself and in those that you trust and you will have success in your endeavors. By confronting this challenge head on, you will be correcting any flaws that might exist in your beliefs to become more ironclad. The Seven of Wands is the almighty defender, ready to fight regardless of odds. This is what you are experiencing in your life. These are the odds that you must match. You can only fight for what you fiercely believe in. Consider who you feel you are fighting against at this point in time, are you treating yourself with trust and honesty? What about others? Do you trust others to be strong enough to help you? Examine these questions and see where that puts you in your current circumstance.

The Seven of Wands in Love

The Seven of Wands shows up in a reading to help you through some painstaking struggles that you are having to experience at this point in time. Basically, this man is fighting for survival, to protect himself and to protect the ones that he loves. And he does that at all costs. This is the same for you and your love life. Now you are fighting to save something that you believe in. If you are in a relationship, this shows a potential for a struggle to keep the authenticity and morale of the relationship which can at times be exhausting and challenging. This is a good time to ask for help in the form of relationship/marriage counseling. See if there is anything that you can do to help make the relationship work. The work itself is what the Seven of Wands is here to help you with.

If you are single, then take into consideration what about your personal life you are treating as a struggle. Why is it hard for you to meet people? What blocks are you experiencing? Who is metaphorically, or literally, stopping you? You must remove these road blocks with the help of your friends in order to move forward in love.

The Seven of Wands in Health

When the Seven of Wands appears in relation to your health, it is of key importance that you slow down. Right now you have a large amount of mental struggles that are causing you pain. You are thinking too much and that is making it hard for you to accomplish what you need. Your body may suffer from physical aches and pains due to the fact that you are holding on so tightly to the frustrations of your experience. You must let this go so that you can find healing.

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth speaks strongly to a new wave of competition in your business and trade life. These are challenges that you can definitely meet, but you want to make sure that you ally your forces with someone who understands where you are coming from. For example, if you have an idea about how to create a business, you will want to get a lawyer friend involved to make sure that you do everything right. The more friends like this that you have helping you, the better.

The Seven Of Wands As Feelings

This card in love readings as feelings means that they are unwilling to give up freedoms and begin a relationship. This card can indicate giving up their ground and moving towards being emotionally defensive and focusing on their mind. The person is determined in the choice that they have made and nothing will change their mind. For feelings, this can indicate they are in a corner and they cannot get out of it. The more they push the person the more they will back off and might end up falling off a cliff and never to be seen again.

The Seven Of Wands in the Reversed Position

Because of the fact that you are a natural-born leader and the Seven of Wands is encouraging that side of you to thrive, there are going to be points when others are intimidated by your leadership skills and will desire to challenge or fight with you. You will have to put up with some jealousy which will be inconvenient for you. But again the importance here is to tap into your intuition to make the right decisions on how to handle these situations while still keeping your character intact.
