Meaning of Knight of Pentacles
The Knight of Pentacles advances slowly and firmly over a plowed field: he is the steadiest of the knights. He represents consistency, responsibility and methodical work: not brilliant or fast, but he finishes what he starts. He announces slow but sure progress and the strength of a well-kept routine.
“I move forward with consistency; a firm step takes me far.”
