Gilded Tarot

KNIGHT OF PENTACLES

More than the other knights, this one is in a defensive posture. He has been through battles and adventures and is probably ready to rest awhile. Although not in the middle of a battle, this knight is alert and diligent. He will always guard himself and whatever or whomever else needs protecting.
You have fought some battles and enjoyed some adventures. Now you'd like to rest and regroup, maybe spend some time enjoying quieter, more domestic scenes. Take some time off and make yourself feel safe, if necessary. You may need to adopt a protective or defensive stance.
Be aware of resting on your laurels or stagnating. If you had a traumatic experience, do not let it paralyze you or become an excuse for not moving forward..
