This Knight is a great example of the power of attention: he’s got this one Pentacle, he’s totally focused on it, and he’s not trying to do anything else at the same time. And that’s his quest: to be still and present with this one Pentacle.
We all have spontaneous moments of this kind of presence and focus, where we get absorbed in a task and time doesn’t matter. So when we get this card, we’re invited to practice this kind of focused, embodied attention.
You can put your full attention on only one thing at a time. Whatever you’re doing right now, be fully in it. You’re not going to miss out on anything. Trust your timing, trust that you’re in the right place. There’s just this one step right now. You can take the next one when it appears, but not before.

I really needed to see this card today, I’ve been trying to do too much at once. It’s a bit of an ego blow when I have to face the fact that I can’t plan everything. So I’m pulling it back, trusting that I’m where I need to be, and practicing being aware of my space.

Another Knight of Pentacles thing is that I’m realizing that I’ve been on this slow and steady daily tarot sharing path for a couple of months now. Writing these posts has become a very dear practice to me, and I’m grateful to everyone who’s been here with me. I’m going to keep going as long as it makes sense, so please let me know if you have any feedback.

There's no substitute for practice, for experience, for hours sunk into a something. Some people think the Knight of Pentacles is boring, I think he's a mothersnugglin genius, here's why and here's how we're invited to embody this energy today.

This is a card all about our conscious bodily experience. How we choose to show up to our work. Not necessarily our job but to our path of growth. The Knight of Pentacles is dedicated, dependable, determined. But he's not just grinding away at some boring 9-5. He's putting that focus into integrating his bodily lived experience into his mind and soul. He is trusting and cultivating body wisdom, and living in reverence to nature, knowing that every seed is a miracle. He is fully a part of the mystery and nuance of earthly existence.
.
So for us, we're invited to see the big potential in the small things. And we're asked to show up with focus and trust, to each day we have in our bodies. The abundance here isn't just flat money, it's the richness of nature. The more we can befriend and listen to our own bodily wisdom, the more we can feel our connection to the rest of the earth. We're the best tech and tool and we've got. Being fully embodied and present is the most magical thing we can do.

Sidebar: Our innate biology/body tech is so fascinating to me. I think cybernetics and mechanization and mass production are cool as ideas but also redundant in an evolutionary way. It would be better to work with the existing biological and energetic technologies of nature and the human body to continue progressing as a species. Communication = resonance/empathy. Production = cell division. Automation = instinct. I love reading about the science of the mind and body.

I'm clearly still feeling that Page of Swords idea fun today, putting some Knight of Pentacles work into it. How about you?
