The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.

The King of Pentacles is methodical, fatherly, wealthy, generous, and stable. This card indicates achievement of power, support, and wealth. His richness is not just financial but spiritual as well.
The Inverted King of Pentacles is someone who is overly invested in material wealth. He will do anything for money. He is obsessed with status and position and as a result is dismissive of those without.
