Keywords
Upright Meaning
Antsy and on the go. Always in his head. Always moving and challenging himself and others. The horse’s hooves aren’t touching the ground. This guy is the opposite of the Knight of Pentacles. Sword high in the air, armor under his flashy robe—I swear, it’s the tarot equivalent of “Come at me, bro!” There is much intellect here but not so much forethought. He will ride his horse (or run his mouth) until he smacks right into a wall, without ever noticing how close the wall is getting to his face. You really do want this dude on your side, though. My friend John said that sometimes you meet people who are so arrogant that you can tell they’ve never been punched when they deserved it. A good shot in the face will help anyone regain a bit of humility and remember that they’re not always the smartest person in the room.
Inverted Meaning
A bit rash. A bit impatient and eager to prove to everyone that he’s right, very smart—and impetuous. He’s got a big, huge sword and doesn’t particularly know how to wield it. He’s absentminded and reckless. It’s made even worse because he has the resources to succeed, but inverted he can’t get it together enough to use those resources.
