Card 14
King of Pentacles
Description
A king sits on a throne carved with bulls. Grapes on his robe, a coin in his left hand, a sceptre in his right. The castle behind him is something he built, not something he inherited. The King of Pentacles is wealth that compounds. Slow, deliberate, real.

Upright Meanings
You've built something that holds. Money, position, a life that runs without constant rescue. The card says trust the system you've already proven. Stay in the long game. If someone in your life fits this picture, they're worth listening to. They know what stable costs.
Reversed Meanings
Two ways this lands. Either money has become the only metric and the rest of you is paying for it. Or the discipline that built this is gone, and you're spending what should be saved. Same throne, different problem. Look at where the cost is showing up: relationships, health, integrity. Adjust there.
