Traditional Meaning

The businessman. The vet. The Gardner. The reliable one. Has respect for family, tradition and the state.

Going Deeper

An older man who is secure in work. Often he is well established in his chosen field. Like the queen, he is practical and realistic, yet he may be considered dull and lifeless at times, although he is a great provider and a steady and reliable husband. Touch is important, and like all pentacle court cards, he can be very sensual with a healthy appetite for food and sex. This card represents a man who will sacrifice his dreams to maintain the status quo if he has to. He is not a risk taker and prefers gradual growth to get rich quick schemes. He has little time for fantasy and can be ruthless in his desire to achieve status. Obstacles won't bother him, but chaos will.

Astro Insight

The King of Pentacles represents the stable Taurean, Virgo, or Capricorn energy. Surrounding cards will help to identify the strongest earth sign in play. Crowley gives from 21' Leo - 20' Virgo.

Examples With Other Cards

As with the other pentacle court cards, he can signify someone bringing a practical benefit into your life. With The Hierophant he can indicate an enduring relationship, usually marriage or something as good as.
