Fun Fact
Fun fact: Experts in the act of flight, bumblebees flap their wings over 200 times a second. Their metabolisms are so high that they must eat constantly to stay alive, and it is said that a bumblebee with a full stomach is only forty minutes away from starvation, giving them a good reason to buzz around as busily as they do!

Meaning Description
Meaning: A bumblebee labors away atop a honeycomb, filling chamber after chamber with pollen that will one day yield golden honey. Flowers surround it to signify the process the bee goes through to accomplish its task. The bee must visit thousands of flowers to gather enough pollen to fill the combs, but it doesn’t shy away from the work; it knows it is necessary. The Knight of Pentacles knows the value of hard work. Though the labor may be intense, it reminds us that only through continual effort will we be able to reap the benefits that follow.
Upright Meaning
When upright, the Knight of Pentacles exemplifies the hard work that goes into fulfilling one’s dreams. You either know what you want out of life, or you’re developing a plan. You may already have taken steps to begin the methodical approach to reaching your goals. Consistency is valued over speed, and you have taken the time to plan accordingly. It may be boring, but know that your approach will lead you to success.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed meaning: When reversed, the Knight of Pentacles suggests that the user is struggling to find the discipline necessary for achieving their goals. There are too many ideas running through your mind, and you have come to the realization that you can’t accomplish everything you set out to do. Self-development takes time and effort, but the task of changing yourself for the better needs to start here and now. Make a schedule, and plan accordingly. Keep in mind that discipline can be a framework that keeps you on track, but it doesn’t have to be so rigid that you can’t appreciate the occasional detour either.
Visual Description
A stylized honeycomb of six hexagons frames a single golden pentacle at the center. A large bumblebee with translucent wings sits prominently in the lower foreground. Pink and purple flowers and green leaves tuck around the honeycomb against a deep, star-speckled dark background. Thin curving lines drift across the card and the title 'KNIGHT OF PENTACLES' is printed in gold letters along the bottom.
