My Interpretation: This may be a time of financial gain for you, business ventures will reap rewards. You may meet (or already know) someone who is supportive, steady, reliable, and a good provider. These may also be traits that will help you during this time.

Thoughts/Points to Ponder: The King of Pentacles is the Airy part of Earth. The Kings are in Chokmah, the second sephirah, on the Tree of Life and are ruled by the Zodiac.

Except for the mustache, this king is very feminine looking. The first time I saw this card, I thought I had the queen.
