The picture and its symbols
Knight of Pentacles shows a knight holding a coin on a heavy black horse that stands still before a plowed field. It belongs to the suit of Pentacles, the element of earth (money, work, the body and practical matters), and its rank carries the theme of action and movement (Knight).
