A knight in full armour sits on a black warhorse. He holds a pentacle in his right hand which, although his visor is raised, he doesn’t look at. He is gazing off into the distance.

What the Knight of Pentacles Means in a Tarot Reading

Interpreting court cards (Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages) can sometimes be challenging in a reading. Quite often though, the court card represents you.

Or the court card may simply represent you as you as others see you, or you as you are at your core. This interpretation will vary from reading to reading and at different times in your life you’ll find yourself taking on the traits of different court cards.
