The earliest known tarot deck was created in Italy in the 1400s. It is thought that this card was included in this deck. 

In some cultures, the Knight of Pentacles is also seen as a guardian angel.

The Knight of Pentacles can represent this same idea of protection. 

Invoking the knight of pentacles can give you a sense of strength and courage if you feel like you need some extra support or guidance.

When you look at the Knight of Pentacles in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, you will see the knight sitting still on a horse as he looks at the coin he is holding. 

He is not in a rush, working on his plan before going anywhere. 

As you can see in the background, a large field has been plowed, which shows this knight is ready to get to work, even if that means he has to do monotonous work to reach his goal. 

Let's go over what it means if you get the Knight of Pentacles in a reading. 

What It Means To Get The Knight Of Pentacles In A Reading

Seeing the Knight of Pentacles in a tarot reading can mean that you are on the right track in your career and will achieve your goals.

This card can also represent someone reliable and hardworking, or it can be a reminder to take things slowly and not rush into anything. 

Ultimately, the Knight of Pentacles suggests that you take your time and be methodical in your approach to achieve success and avoid making any mistakes along the way.

Let's do some storytelling here. 

You have an envisioned goal and choose an organized way to go after it. 

For instance, the Page of Pentacles gave you an idea to open up a pizza parlor of your choice. 

That was the idea. And you are now at a place, presented by the Knight, working through the logistics. 

Where will you build the pizza parlor, and what type of pizzas and other foods will your restaurant serve? 

What long-term vision do you have for it? What about funding? 

You are after these things and working hard to make this dream work and turn it into a reality. 

Now, let's go over what the Knight of Pentacles means in reverse. 

Knight of Pentacles Reversed

When the Knight of Pentacles is in reverse, you have your vision but may struggle with self-discipline to make it a reality. 

Maybe you are bored with the process, and this idea is not turning out to be right for you. 

You may feel quite stuck or have a perfectionist attitude toward the journey, which will not get you far. 

If you have a perfectionist attitude, you will not get too far. 

You must learn to make mistakes along the way because that is the only way you can understand. 

You can see how a perfectionist attitude can cause more harm than good. 

On a positive note, this card may also represent before you turn your idea into a reality, you need to focus on self-improvement before the Knight is upright for you.

Let’s go over how you can apply this card to your life. 

How To Apply The Knight of Pentacles to your Life

Anytime you embark on a new journey, whether starting a new lifestyle habit, a business, or a new practice that you take seriously, you want the Knight of Pentacles to remind you that these are significant chances and take time. 

In addition, you want to ensure that you make these plans step-by-step, so you do not miss any essential information you need to move forward in your journey. 

The Knight of Pentacles also wants to remind you that you cannot take such a significant undertaking alone, so you will want to find support. 

You will want to find those who will not only give you the emotional support to help you keep moving forward but practical feedback in case there is something essential they can add to you that can assist your journey. 

For example, if you are going on a weight loss plan, you need emotional support, but someone could have a helpful recommendation to help you keep cravings at bay or keep you full at night. 

The next card I will go over is the second last one in the deck and series, the Queen of Pentacles.
