King Of Pentacles Reversed
While the King Of Pentacles Upright focuses on celebrating and enjoying the wealth and success from your hard work, the King Of Pentacles Reversed is just the opposite. Receiving this card in a reading can suggest that you're too loose with your money. Avoid throwing it away with frivolous spending and living outside your means. The Reversed version is a gambler, risk taker, and corrupt. He would do anything for a quick dollar, even if it meant selling his own mother. Check your heart, and identify if there are areas where you're taking advantage of someone or preying on the weak. Receiving this card in reverse is the equivalent of joining a 'get rich quick' scheme. You may amass a small fortune in a short amount of time, but it will be lost just as quickly through fraudulent activity.
The King Of Pentacles Reversed is also an indication of being materialistic, and placing too much emphasis on outward appearances. You may put on a show of having everything together, but that façade can only last so long. Once the credit cards are maxed out, and there's no one left to extort, the bill eventually comes due. Whether through karmic events, or the law of attraction, what we put out will eventually come back to us. We reap what we sow......weeds or valuable crops. Money and power earned by stepping on others will never last, and it's the same as building your kingdom on sand. The foundation will collapse over time, and you're soon left with nothing.
I view the King Of Pentacles Reversed as a sign of taking on projects and not following through. Having goals and aspirations are important, but if you give up at the first sign of trouble you'll never get to where you want to be. I've had experience with this numerous times over my life. Showing excitement about an opportunity and then quickly moving on to the next scheme because I wasn't willing to put in the work. There's no such thing as a 'free meal', and if you desire the success and material wealth of the King Of Pentacles you'll need to continue pushing forward.
