Knight of Pentacles/Brother of Earth

Knights are very helpful cards because they’re all about movement.  They tell us where to go and what to do – and often this is what we’re looking for when we ask questions to the tarot.  The Knight of Pentacles in particular is about moving slowly when we want to go fast.  This knight has a careful pace and knows when to move.  

IV of Pentacles/Four of Earth

Fours are about structure, and the Four of Pentacles is no different.  This is a figure that is a master of management and has the ability to close off the rest of the world in order to manage things of this earthly realm (money, work, the physical body).  While the figure has the ability to very carefully manage these things, he is tied down by those four pentacles – there’s not a whole lot more he can do.
