King of Pentacles

Key Words: authority, balanced, powerful, mature, very experienced, practical, cautious, generous, able, resourceful

Kings manage resources, usually in a group setting. They focus on the big picture. Enlist their experience and authority.

Practical, down-to-earth, and cautious, the pentacles are resourceful and patient. They can slip into materialism, greed, and laziness.

Open, friendly, and calm, this king is probably the most approachable of the kings. He values the things that make life pleasant, and for him that includes an efficient home and work space, fulfilling work, and items of quality. Making things easier and better are his specialties. He measures success by how much one enjoys life rather than how many resources one has. It was probably a King of Pentacles who said “work smarter, not harder.” Don’t waste his time with drama or nitpicky complaints. Life is too short for such nonsense.
