King of Pentacles
The King of Pentacles represents a profound problem emerging from the depths of earthly existence. Like Prometheus reaching for divine fire, this card depicts humanity's struggle to transcend material limitations and grasp higher wisdom. The stolen torch from heaven symbolizes the challenging nature of spiritual and material advancement. This card warns of difficulties that arise when ambition meets the tension between earthly grounding and celestial aspirations.

A rectangular card framed by a decorative gold border and a small circular coin motif at the top left. The title 'KING OF PENTACLES' appears across the top in orange lettering. The central scene shows a very large hand gripping a flaming torch or stake that descends toward a nearly nude man who seems to be sinking into sand or earth, his arms raised and his face turned upward. Rocky stratified terrain and distant hills form the background, and at the bottom are multilingual titles: 'ROI DE DENIERS', 'REY DE OROS', 'KÖNIG DER MÜNZEN', 'RE DI DENARI'.
