#tarottraditionalqabalahelitarot2strikingly.com

The Rider-Waite-Smith- Knight of Pentacles, focuses on this mundane meaning of enduring, stalwart, and imperturbable character. This medieval knight is stationary, holding a Pentacle in his right hand and holding absolute attention on the Pentacle while firmly seated on his sturdy statue like mount. In the background is a cultivated field implying his contribution to agriculture as a fecund force of growth (bringing forth the vegetation) which suggests the Green Man (Pan of the Greeks), as does the green foliage on both his helm and the charger's bridle. The whole card is bathed in sunlight which suggests summer fertility.

The Green Man of the Druids is a god of growing, life, decay and death, the Green Man form represents a godlike fertility of the life force behind all vegetation. Where the Horned God is the spirit that lies within all animals of the wild, the Green Man is the energy of the plant world in its continual cycles. I found a particularly good rendition of The Green Man in the art of the Druid Craft Tarot Deck, of which I have in a blog of Druid Craft Tarot and the Thoth Tarot at my other web and blog site- elitarotstrickingly.com.

This state of Consciousness is known in the Western Hermetic Qabalistic Tarot and Mysteries of Ancient Wisdom as the Prince of Disks, the 6th Sephiroth on the tree of Life, and represents the Christos, or Buddha consciousness of the "heavenly human" and it brings the body into an ET intelligence interface state of vibratory life force with Earth; a force known as "unconditional Love".

When the body channels this State of Energy Conscious that is Tiphareth, the physiology changes into that of a "master's body" and the environment is made more fertile and fecund. However, only through diligent meditative techniques and ritual divination is this conscious state possible to physically experience as one must break all connections with the racial and cultural egregore that resides in the subconscious as a false ego.

The Tarot-Knight of Pentacles illustrates an image of determination, practicality, and reliability. This Knight is in no hurry to take any action but is determined to arrive at his destination. Also, the light that surrounds him implies a keen, bright mind. Here paying attention to details is prerequisite. Hence, this card is often assigned the sign of Virgo.

Individuals born under the Sun sign Virgo, which is typically associated with those born between August 23 and September 22, are believed to exhibit certain characteristics. Keep in mind that astrology is a belief system, and interpretations may vary. Here are some common traits associated with Virgos:

1. Analytical and Detail-Oriented: Virgos are known for their meticulous and analytical nature. They pay close attention to details and are often thorough in their work.

2. Practical and Grounded: Virgos tend to be practical and down-to-earth individuals. They approach situations with a realistic mindset and prefer tangible results.

4. Intellectual and Curious: Virgos have a natural curiosity and enjoy expanding their knowledge. They are inclined towards intellectual pursuits and may have a keen interest in learning.

5. Modest and Humble: Virgos are typically modest and humble, not seeking attention or praise. They are more focused on their work and achievements rather than seeking external validation.

8. Perfectionistic: Virgos may have a tendency towards perfectionism, striving for high standards in their work and expecting the same from others.

It's essential to remember that these traits are generalizations, and individual personalities can vary widely. Astrology provides a broad overview, but various factors influence a person's character, such as their Moon sign, rising sign, and the positions of other planets in their birth chart.

The traditionally Tarot Knights are called the Prince of the Chariot of Earth. Prince and Emperor of the Gnomes and in the Western Qabalistic Thoth Tarot, they are attributed to the last Decan of Aries and the first two Decan of Taurus. Implying even more unique characteristics applied to this court card.

This Prince-Knight is the Air of Earth and/ or Specific Air of Primal Earth. Hence, they are attributed to the ancient mythology of the Green Man of the Forest.
