COMING SOON: Thank you for your positive responses to my recent weekly tarot and astrology readings! I’m glad that you enjoyed them. I’ll be publishing another weekly tarot reading for every astrology sign soon, with free previews for every subscriber and extended readings that you can access if you are a paid subscriber.
My focus is more on tarot than astrology as that’s what I’ve always been more interested in. Maybe because it connects me to the Italian half of my heritage (as tarot may have originated in Italy), or it could be that the imagery speaks to me as an artist. It might be something beyond those reasons that I can’t yet understand. You may have a preference for more astrology or tarot cards depending on what you feel connected to, regardless of your background or interests. Preferences can also change over time.
No matter how many other psychic tools I’ve used, though, I keep coming back to the cards. Tarot can act as a portal to universal messages, and as such they’re made for everyone who wants what they offer. So why do I use astrology if I feel so deeply connected to the cards? As I mentioned in my most recent post, astrology offers supplemental insights (like more specific timing) that can enhance your tarot readings. I unlocked that post so you can see a sample of tutorials and extended readings that will be available in the future to premium subscribers. As always, I recommend Jessica Adams’ astrology blog and Substack for in-depth astrology updates. She also uses psychic channeling in her readings, and that combination of channeling with astrology (as well as tarot) is one of the ways that astrology can enhance psychic tarot readings, and vice versa.
Thank you for reading and subscribing!
Ciao,
Kyra
Imagery
The King of Pentacles sits on an elaborate throne carved with bulls. His gold crown is adorned with flowers. His robe is decorated with one-dimensional grapevines, and a three-dimensional version of these grapevines exists in reality surrounding him on the ground. The foot sticking out from under his garments is made of metal, denoting that he is protected by not only wealth but also armour. The large castle in the background represents the depth of his material assets and investments. He is surrounded by abundant nature, and the sky behind him that matches his sceptre, coin, and crown is bright.
He could be an older man or an authority figure.
Reversed, the coin looks like it is about to fall from his hand. He also looks like he could be thrown from the throne.
Interpretation
A clue to the meaning of this card is in the grapevines on the King’s robe and surrounding him. He can take the resources that are close to him and turn them into prosperity that grows, as grapevines grow. This card symbolises finance, security, and reliability. The King of Pentacles can represent someone losing sight of what has value in their life by overly focusing on the material world.
Pentacles represent the Earth signs of Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn.
World News From the Future
In World News, this card reversed can denote more than one government or political leader whose greed causes decisions that are harming those they are supposed to be responsible for protecting or helping to prosper. Instead, the people they rule are suffering because of the poverty caused by this system or leader.
It would be easy to say this at any given time about one or another government in the world, but what’s significant about the card coming up in this position of our monthly Political Tarot Spread is that it’s about a trend happening in many governments. However, this problem of widespread greed will become so obvious that it will be hard to ignore, and that obviousness will eventually be a catalyst for change. Awareness is key with this card in the position of future World News.
U.S. News From the Future
In U.S. News, the King of Pentacles Reversed may represent a poor or wasteful leader who is in jeopardy of losing his position. Beyond February, and in relationship to U.S. politics, this card can denote a pending ‘split vote’. Considering that this is a Presidential election year, that development could be significant. This shift would likely become a reality beyond February, so why is it coming up in our reading now? Perhaps the catalyst for this event is getting set in motion in or around this month.
The King of Pentacles R has come up in one of our previous readings as Trump. That was before the 2020 Presidential elections.
Related Images/Music: When I wrote that last sentence, the R.E.M. song “Losing My Religion” came to mind. The King of Wands Reversed is ‘Losing His Position’. But is it due to religion?
Whoever this figure is, their position may be partly in jeopardy due to a belief system…whether the beliefs are theirs or those of their opponents. How much will clashing religions and belief systems sway or determine the elections this year?
It’s also possible that this card has an additional meaning concerning U.S. News that I can’t yet see. For instance, the King of Pentacles R can also mean an attrition of funding. Have you experienced tarot cards giving you multiple messages, some of which you can only discover with the passage of time?
Future News for You
Generally, when you receive this card reversed you could be prompted to focus more on what you value that is not material, such as relationships or a spiritual connection. What does true success mean to you? If you had everything material that you needed, how would you want to spend your time? Who would you spend it with?
Fun With Frugality
Alternatively, drawing this card reversed can sometimes be a warning about overspending, and a suggestion to save. It could be about saving money, time, energy, or resources.
Depending on surrounding cards if you are using more than a one-card spread, there could also be the risk of a material loss. If that’s true, temporary frugality can be a fun venture or adventure. You can try to make it like a game or think of it as a spiritual journey. Less spending might mean more space to be creative, or to connect with an activity or state of mind that’s been unexplored for some time. New things may happen that wouldn’t have occurred to you to try otherwise.
If it wasn’t for budgeting in my younger years as an undergraduate student, or while working as a freelance visual artist, I wouldn’t have developed as many sewing, cooking, or baking skills. Now that I don’t have to budget to the same degree, I enjoy making clothing, baking, or cooking more deeply and confidently because I integrated additional skills into my psyche out of necessity.
You have probably heard a version of this lesson in the idiom, “Necessity is the mother of invention”.
The development of those abilities, and the gratification that comes from practising them, has made my life richer in a manner that money cannot purchase or replace. This is one of the ways that the King of Pentacles Reversed paradoxically brings us good fortune…if we’re willing (or forced!) to learn one of the lessons implied by the upside-down images in this card. If you’ve already been through this, the card is acknowledging that phase in your life, perhaps so you can feel grateful for how far you’ve come, or so you can feel proud of what you’ve overcome.
If the description in ‘Imagery’ or ‘Interpretation’ above sounds like someone in your life, this card might be about what they are going through or related to their influence in your life. Either way, the theme of approaching budgeting as a fun game or creative experiment might be highlighted for you or someone you care about when the King of Pentacles Reversed makes an appearance in your reading.

Hi Kyra,
I found the King of Pentacles reversed to be quite meaningful at this moment when Pluto in Aquarius is starting to gain more traction, as I’m seeing more and more pieces of news and evidence of collectives and organizations uniting against the (patriarchal) status quo all over the world.
At the same time, the meaning of this card connected to living with frugality has touched quite a nerve, as this has been a recurring theme for myself lately. More specifically, I’ve been waiting on the response from public funding for an artistic proposal I submitted last year on feminisms, migration and spirituality, which would bring me not only prestige and recognition, but also financial stability for the most part of 2024 as well. The project’s been placed on a list of successors, so I was wondering if it’ll somehow move further up the list and make it into funding status, or if I’ll have to grasp to terms with the reality of the King of Pentacles reversed and be creative in finding funding to bring this project into fruition in other ways?
Many thanks 🙏🏽
