King of Pentacles
Upright
Responsible and steady progress
Reversed
Driven by greed, weakened sense of responsibility
This king does not exude a sense of superiority but rather a down-to-earth and approachable aura. He seems to embody the qualities of a hardworking laborer, and everything he possesses is the result of diligent efforts. The grapevine at the end of his hand is already bearing abundant fruits. The closed eyes of the bull suggest that his ambition to conquer the entire land has now settled. The king has truly achieved wealth and abundance. The broad back of the bull, resembling mountains, signifies the energy and wealth contained within.
