The Knight of Pentacles card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

An armoured rider sits still on a heavy black horse holding a pentacle, a ploughed field stretching behind.

Upright

  • Reliability
  • Method
  • Persistence

The only knight not moving, on the heaviest horse — traditionally the card of doing it steadily and finishing. It asks what would be different if you simply kept on.

Reversed

  • Stagnation
  • Stubbornness
  • Dull

Read reversed, steadiness becomes stuck: a routine kept because it is a routine, or an approach that stopped being reviewed a long time ago.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
