The Knight of Pentacles from the Aquarian Tarot

Knowing my value
I take action to expand,
Sowing seeds for growth

The entire suit of Pentacles is one big farming metaphor, as far as I am concerned. Everytime a pentacle shows up in a reading, or in a question from a student, or as a writing prompt, there’s always a “seed planted” or “growing crops” or “full harvest” in the response. After decades working with the tarot, it’s not even a conscious construction anymore.

The symbolism is firmly planted within me.

(See what I did there?)

The metaphor has taken root.

(And again!)

Its resonance blossoms to feed every interpretation.

(I could do this all day.)

Sorry. That’s my literarily-inclined Page of Swords aspect showing off, with her love of puns and word-play. I need to get out of the weeds and back to hoeing my metaphorical fields, Knight of Pentacles style.

Stay symbolic, my friends.
Until next time.
