The Upright King of Pentacles represents someone who is stunningly successful; they love to lead and are practical. They like their own way and will reward your affection with great generosity. This person is no risk taker, but they are a fantastic homemaker.

People who have just found Mr or Ms Right may find that the situation is not developing as swiftly as they had hoped. Don't worry, all is well, it's just your partner takes relationships seriously and likes to get to know you well before moving on to the next phase. Whether your relationship is longstanding or recent, this card suggests that one of you struggles to express their emotions. This may be slightly disappointing, but remember actions speak louder than words.

The Reversed King of Pentacles is a person who is well worth the effort of avoiding. They are materialistic, stubborn, ultra-conservative and will do anything if they think there is a profit in it for them. This character is willing to toady up to anyone they see as having authority, whilst busily bossing everyone else. They might not be that bothered about you but they'd love a deep and meaningful relationship with your bank balance.

Single folk may need to lighten up a bit if they are looking for love, as a severe and serious exterior can put many potential mates off. When this card appears you may form a relationship with someone whose income is radically different to yours, don't let this put you off automatically, despite the difference in earning power this relationship could work.

Couples may find their usually dependable other half is having a wobble (this may be related to work or business matters). If this is the case you may have to step up to the mark and be their support for a short time, remind them that you love them as a person not just a provider.
