Knight of Pentacles
The Knight of Pentacles guides his steed with a light but assured and determined step.
Detached from material concerns in their strictly materialistic dimension, he now carries only one pentacle as a banner or flag—a distant memory of his past attachments. This floating pentacle might be a mere extension of his aura... or perhaps a helium balloon or a drone.
The precious treasures of the Page, Queen, and King of Pentacles, his predecessors, have been dematerialized. The Knight of Pentacles has exchanged them for a staff and a sword. These new accessories might seem irrelevant, but they signify that the Knight of Pentacles is already seeking new horizons. If he transcends materiality by the end of his mission, it is because he is resolved to embark on the conquest of the two new aspects of his animal nature: passions and reason.
To further confirm the clear signs of his transitional vocation between material and spiritual realms, the Knight of Pentacles' dark clothing is primarily receptive to cosmic influences. His steed, with its lighter colors, conveys an active spirituality to a ground whose intelligence supports transformative action.
From "The Polish Rider" by Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 - 1669)
