The King of Pentacles regards the achievement of success and power and the acceptance of these mantles with grace. This figure is a symbol of wealth but also philanthropy, having earned his wealth through hard work. This King, like the others, is a father figure, however, unlike the others, his protection and provision comes at a price. There is a sort of contractual obligation to being in the care of the King of Pentacles, those who earn their keep will be rewarded tenfold, those who show respect shall receive it back, and those who adhere to his law will benefit from it. However, this king will not stand to be dishonoured or embarrassed and will cast out unworthy and ungrateful children.
