Knight of Pentacles
Welcome to season 7 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Pentacles.
I’m going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Knight of Pentacles as a symbol of patience, diligence, and perseverance
Symbolism across different decks: slow and steady movement, steadfast loyalty, quiet strength
How this card challenges our cultural obsession with speed and immediate results
The connection between grounded effort and meaningful progress
Knight of Pentacles
Pictures from the decks I talked about today :
In this episode, we explore the Knight of Pentacles, a card that invites us into the steady, grounded work of showing up for our commitments day after day. This is a card of diligence, patience, and perseverance—a reminder that progress is not always flashy or fast, but built through quiet consistency and care.
The Knight of Pentacles encourages us to honor the long game. It asks: How are you tending to your goals even when no one is watching? How do you stay rooted in your values while adapting to the unknowns of the journey? This card reminds us that resilience is not just surviving challenges but continuing to walk the path with intention, humility, and faith in the process.

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Herald upright. This card speaks to the power of embracing change and stepping forward with hope, even when the path feels uncertain. The Herald invites us to release regrets and stop clinging to “what could have been.” Instead, it encourages us to be an active participant in creating something new and meaningful.
The Herald teaches that reflection is valuable, but we cannot let it overshadow the present. By letting go of the weight of old decisions and missed opportunities, we make space for fresh possibilities and deeper joy in the here and now.
Reflective prompts on this card:
How can you honor the small, quiet steps you are taking toward your goals?
Where are you holding onto regrets or “what ifs” that are keeping you from moving forward?
What would it look like to be your own herald of positive change today?
