The "Knights" in the Tarot
Deck may also be known by other names (depending on the deck used).
For example, the Golden
Dawn Deck includes "Princes" and the Shapeshifter's
Tarot includes "Warriors" (not specifically male or female)
in place of the "Knights" of the Rider-Waite and Robin
Wood decks.
All Court Cards may be interpreted as referring to a person - the card
itself including information to identify the individual. Alternatively
they may be interpreted symbolically, in which case "Knights" are
often understood to represent "Movement" or "Travel" for
the Querent (which is another word for the "sitter", or person
receiving the reading).
The element of the Knights is "Air". Knights may indicate teenagers
- herlading much change, constant activity, yet with a young person's
optimism and determination.
The Knight of Pentacles expresses the theme of organization and dedication
to duty.
When this Court Card appears in a spread to identify a person to the
sitter then the characteristics it conveys include: Young men, dark
brown hair, dark eyes, someone who is reliable and methodical, the
astrological sign of Virgo. (This is not always the purpose
of the appearance of a Court Card in a spread.)
This card may mean that there is much work to be done - which must
be organized and then implemented thoroughly. It may also refer to
the coming or going of money or material wealth.
