The King of Coins, or the King of Pentacles, corresponds with the elements Fire (King) and Earth (Coins). It represents someone of exceptional self-control, who is resourceful, utilitarian and has more common sense than the most. It could also relate to the powerful Capricorn, Taurus or Virgo males in our lives. The suit of coins stands for the physical matters, money and talents.
Just like Dali portrayed in this card, we are being called to be our own masters in terms of wealth and well-being. The many red “finger prints” means that we need to be active ourselves and take hands-on approaches, with touch-it-own-it attitude. No one is going to drop a big bag of motivation at our front door, it needs to come from within ourselves. We create our own fortune.
The beast on the leash with a blurry face warns us to keep our basic predatory instincts in check. Don’t get too comfortable or obsessed with material values and sensual pleasures.
Be at ease and get comfortable with ourselves like Dali does on his throne, in the meantime beware of our own carelessness and complacency. We are our greatest resource, we can create a life and work style that fits our own personal culture and schedule.
The action we need to take, according to the King of Coins, is to reassess our financial situation as well as our talents and desires for productivity and fulfilment. Ask yourself, what have you accomplished so far and what’s still lacking? Tend to the seeds you have planted and are about to plant, in your garden and in your life. Become the architect, artist and builder of your own life 🍎!
