Knight of Disks

The knight of disks is peculiar in that it is the only knight card where the knight is not moving. But of course this speaks to the slow and steady pace that the earth element, which the disks represent, is known for.

 The knight of disks is shown sitting on his horse on a green hill, overlooking a field that has just been sown with seed. He is holding a disk out in front of him, as they both remain still. The knight is dressed in a suit of armor, with a red tunic and gloves, and the decoration on his helmet resembles foliage.  His horse is also dressed in red accessories with a head dress that resembles foliage. The sky behind them is clear and bright yellow.

 The color red, like the muladhara chakra or root chakra, symbolizes material pleasures and earthly abundance, as does the foliage resembling headdresses. The yellow clarity of the sky suggests brightness and optimism, as well as material wealth. Additionally the stillness of both the knight and horse represents the steady committed energy that a successful undertaking would require, and that earth signs of the zodiac are known for. 

Receiving this card in a reading can represent a new project that will have excellent long lasting and steady material success. It could also represent a gift of material wealth coming into your life. Sometimes it is seen more as a person than an event. A masculine energy that is grounded and committed to putting their energy into a relationship or project and will be there for the long haul. I love the gift of hope the knight of pentacles brings into a reading because of the staying power and overwhelming steadiness it represents.
