Reversed King of Pentacles Description

The king is sat on a large throne that is decorated with vines. His robes match as they are also embroidered with a variety of grape vines. He holds the coin in his hand with pride and you can see his success. This is not only because of the beauty of his throne and robes, but because of the flourishing castle that stands strong and tall in the background. This sophisticated man is clearly proud of the effort that he has put in and also, the rewards that he now reaps. However, once he is reversed, the castle is turned on its head and so is the king, who will now proceed to topple from his throne.

If the king is reversed, then he has fallen from his throne. It is likely the case that the king represents you rather than someone else in your life. There have been negative feelings that have likely caused bad decisions to be made. Some of these decisions may include gambling and overindulgence in luxuries. It is also likely that you are decided the value of something purely based on its cost. Whilst higher costs tend to equal higher values in the capitalist mindset, it means that you are not valuing things that are important to life that are without cost.

This card indicates that you may have been making some bad decisions with your finances and these decisions are now starting to take effect. Have you been gambling or spending your money on luxuries that you don’t need? You may be doing this so that people view you in a better light, but this will not be the case. People who care about you do not care about your possessions, but they are concerned with how you may be falling into a bad financial situation.

Alternatively, have you been hoarding? People do not view you as powerful for hoarding your wealth and sometimes flaunting it. They actually begin to view you in a negative light because these actions have begun to show your greed and selfishness. This is not to say that you should just give away all of your money to the people around you. Instead, you just need to be a little less high strung about your money. Becoming a bit more relaxed and focusing on the genuine value of something, rather than just its cost will get you much closer to happiness than hoarding your wealth did. If you show your willingness to change and not focus so much on your greed then people will start to view you in a more positive light, as you wanted them to in the first place.

Reversed King of Pentacles as an Answer to ‘Will I be rich?’

If this card has appeared as an answer to this question, then the first thing to note is that you are very clearly set on being rich. The likelihood, however, is that you will not become rich. Gambling and flaunting your wealth through material goods are not things that will help you to become rich. If you spend your time hoarding your wealth, then it is possible that you will manage to become rich. But you won’t become rich in the truest sense. You may be rich in coin and have overflowing finances, but this does not equal happiness. The people you care about will not respect you for your wealth, but they will instead view you as greedy and in a more negative light. You can therefore be rich in your money, but you will not be rich in your heart.
