Knight of Pentacles

KeywordsDiligence, responsibility, steady progress

The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through

Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.

The picture

His horse stands square before the field as he studies the coin

Bright face

Slow, and certain to arrive

Shadow

Steadiness hardening into standstill

Way through

The horse already faces the field — plough just today's row

As your card of the day

If Knight of Pentacles is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Slow, and certain to arrive”. When it tips toward “Steadiness hardening into standstill”, remember the way the picture draws: The horse already faces the field — plough just today's row.
