The knights are often the most intense expression of the elements associated with their suits, representing the energy you see in teens or youth. The interesting thing about the Knight of Pentacles is that at their most intense they are the steadiest. They are intense about things organizing, scheduling, and plans in general. This is someone with a well-thought-out goal and who knows every step they need to take there. Like the other court cards in this suit, it may also refer to a young person who is a Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn.
