You're going to reap just what you sow

Also notice that the harvest is ripe and he is the reaper.
Yes, indeed.
Whenever I meet the Knight of Disks, I always think about the line in the song Perfect day by Lou Reed: "You're going to reap just what you sow".
Sometimes that can be bit of a mouthful, and you might have to contemplate about it before you are ready to harvest it all.
But you must.
Here there certainly is something to harvest, not like in the 7 of Disks - Failure - where all your efforts is barren, given nothing in return. Except if you are willing to go beyond the indigoblack weil to ask "Why ..." (but that is quite another story).
Knight of Disks is extremely powerful in my opinion. King of the Harvest.
I think this Knight is about acceptance and maturity, accepting getting older, the way your life had turned out, based on the choices you made down the line, the life cycle, and death ultimately (the reaper man), and the rebirth of nature.
In pagan times the king was sacrificed to gain fertility of the soil, or so I've heard.
So to me there is a lot going on here, and he certainly know what to do ...
Just my 20 cents on this guy.
