King of Pentacles tarot card

"Wealth isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

A man sits (somewhat lazily, but perhaps dignified) on a throne and surrounded by lusciousness. Pentacles represent wealth and the king card represents mastery. This card represents a person who has 'made it' financially. Someone who knows how to act in order to generate wealth. Money has a corrupting influence and you can see that with this card.

Upright
WealthBusinessLeadershipDiscipline

You are placed in a situation where you need to be the financial leader. Either at work or in your personal life. You will be successful as you have all the tools and mastery to handle the job. This card can also mean someone in your life has true domain over wealth. Romantically this card means you need a partner who brings a mastery of finances to the table.

Reversed

Someone in your life is using their wealth to hold power over you-- perhaps you are stuck in a job you dislike or perhaps you have a family member who is paying for something you need. Perhaps you are feeling a lack of generosity from others or from within yourself. Displays of wealth do not make you rich; being rich does not mean you are generous.

King of Pentacles for Sagittarius in Love and Relationships

The Seeker

Pentacles are the earth suit, so the King of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sits directly beside Sagittarius, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Upright, this is the element used out in the world, at the cost of still feeling it.

When reading about relationships through a Sagittarius lens, the King of Pentacles says that you feel like your partner is the person who understands the vision, someone who will not ask you to stay smaller, and a test of whether you can commit to anything at all. This has either led you to find someone who grows alongside you or to have left good people because they wanted you to actually be there. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Sagittarius blind spot in it is the specific weight of a single commitment, the slowness of actually building something, the possibility that it might not be enough.

In practice that can look like a shared expense that means something. Whatever form it takes, it is being decided by whoever holds the authority.
