KNIGHT OF PENTACLES
Slow and Steady -- Taking your time. Thinking things through. Slow and steady energy wins the race. Careful planning. Realism in the face of what is before you. Hard work and diligence. Complete dedication to a task. Message is on the way. Dependable.
SHADOW: Lost in the minutia of life. Hyper focus stealing attention from important, basic life activities. Obsessive-compulsive behavior. Concern for material objects. Needy and incomplete. Looking at the dark side of life.
The Knight of Pentacles reflects the slow and sensual yet seismic activity of the energy of earth. He takes his time making decisions and carefully plots and plans all he does. Just because he's slow moving and cautious, don't think he's dead in the water. Every move counts; everything takes on meaning. Do not rush him.
Knights are the harbingers of messages. The wise owl descends to do the knight's bidding. A message is on the way, and it will have real-world results and visible benefits. The knight displays a cautious personality who chooses action with care. He would rather take small steps than risk a large failure. In this way he is safe. He is a gentle soul who never wounds on purpose.
