The Knight of Pentacles is the image of stubborn youth. As a court card, it may represent either an actual person or a situation; often, this card is both at the same time. As a person, it may be a youth or young adult who is hard-working, but incredibly stubborn, and sometimes with a very limited view of the world.

As a situation, the Knight of Pentacles is an indication of a time when one must consider altering ones opinion and behavior. It is quite possible that an individual has neglected many parts of his life due to his limiting worldview, and this card suggests that perhaps it is time to change that.
