Knight of Pentacles Tarot Card: What it means to be a gambler
You know what you want. You know that you don’t have all the resources immediately in place to get it though. You have faith that if you just get started in achieving this that you want, things will fall into place to support you. So you act impulsively and get the ball rolling on this thing with the blind hope that you are right. This piece of you that pushes you to this is the Knight of Pentacles. This piece of you understands the importance of taking a chance, taking a risk, gambling. You are not always able to play it safe, especially when you are under a time restraint to get something done. This is the piece of you that calculates the risk, decides if it is worth taking, and then going for it. It doesn’t have time to be told to slow down. It doesn’t have the patience or the inclination to listen to nay-sayers.
If it feels right to your own integrity, you are going to pursue it and hope for the best. This is what it means to be a gambler and a risk taker. Sometimes this is what you have to do to get hat you want sometimes. When it works out, the payoff is great. If it doesn’t, well, maybe you learn a lesson by examining your steps an determining what you could have done differently. This is what it means to truly come into your own as a Knight of Pentacles. –Jim Larsen
