On it's positive side, this card represents 'The Master Manifester'. This person takes an idea and makes it real: pronto. In fact, this ability to manifest something ,usually quite quickly, in the real world out of a proposed plan (the Ace of Pentacles) is its own type of magic. As a partner, this person can pull you in by the strength of their desire for you. Sometimes, it only takes one to start something for two. And the y will probably stick around...if they chose you. They are picky. The person represented by the King of Pentacles has no fear of obstacles...they know they will appear, but they just keep on the path they have laid out...and they achieve their goal. This is very positive when the King of Pentacles has a solid moral system, otherwise...read on. Inherently, the energy of the King of Earth is not negative. Unfortunately, because we live in a Hierarchical, Patriarchal ,Materialist society that is existing in the end times of Capitalism, his energy is on steroids. It is over-developed and over-valued. Frankly this energy is about to lead us in to total earthly annihilation. All us of raised in Western culture have the negative aspect of this King in us. A raising of consciousness is critical (and possible) to bring us into alignment with the positive aspect of this card.
*All court cards represent an energy or an actual person who carries that particular energy
Reversed: I don't use reverse cards, as every card has inherently positive and challenging aspects, depending on the client and the reading.
