Card 75 • pentacles

Knight of Pentacles

Brief Description

The Knight of Coins portrays a lethargic figure whose inaction leaves urgent needs unmet, symbolized by a sleeping dragon and a city in flames. The image suggests that only an external, material incentive will rouse this knight, pointing to motivation by reward or bribery. Upright, the card warns of slowness, routine stagnation, and failure to recognize emergencies or act promptly. Reversed, it emphasizes irresponsibility, unreliability, and an unwillingness to take things seriously.

Description

The sleepy knight wakes with a wide yawn while his dragon still slumbers. In the distance, the city is ablaze and in dire need of assistance. Unfortunately, the only way to motivate the lazy knight to take action is by lowering a valuable incentive from the heavens.

Upright Meaning

Someone slow to act. Not recognizing an emergency. Wasting time. A boring routine. Mundane surroundings. A bribe.

Reversed Meaning

Irresponsibility. Not taking things seriously. An unreliable person. Lethargy.

Visual Description

A bulky armored knight in a rounded, riveted suit sits on top of a red dragon, mid-yawn and rubbing his eye. The dragon lies subdued beneath him with the knight's boot resting on its head. In the background a walled town and castle smolder with visible flames, stars scatter across the sky, and a large gold coin bearing a helmeted profile dangles above the scene.
