Card Story

The King of Pentacles sits on a throne embellished with carvings of bulls, representing  his connection to the astrological sign of Taurus, and grapes and vines adorn his robe,  symbolising wealth and abundance. In his right hand, he holds the sceptre of his power, and  in his left, he holds a golden coin, symbolic of his material influence. This King has an innate  ability to create material wealth and financial abundance – and better yet, he can sustain his  wealth over time through self-discipline, control and leadership.  At his feet and around his throne are more vines, flowers and plants, representing the highest  attainment of material success. His castle sits behind him, a symbol of all he has built through  his efforts and determination. This King is therefore very serious about financial security and  has made the accumulation of wealth his focus in life. He is proud of his achievements and  likes to show others his prized possessions and wealth.
