King of Pentacles

The King of Coins stands for the mature command of material resources. He knows how to build, manage and make fruitful what is entrusted to him.

What the card shows

The King of Coins fills his seat, a piece in his palm, the other hand open, his cloak draped with no ornament. The eye stops on that broad hand, which sets the coin down instead of brandishing it.

Its light

Responsible management turns the resource into freedom: to invest, to keep your word, to get through a lean season without breaking what exists. Solid ground shows after the loss.

Its shadow

You lay your hand on everything and approve every expense, so decisions stop at your door. Others stop proposing, and what you build becomes a weight carried alone.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. This card closes the suit of coins: the Marseille engraving shows it seated and crowned, the attribute held out in the open.

What this card invites you to do

Look at three lines of your budget, ask yourself what each one builds, then cut the one that builds nothing for you.

A card does not decide for you.
It shows you where to look.
