Your Chosen Card – Lord of Patens Reversed Salem Deck
When reversed, the Knight of Pentacles plods along in a dull and idle manner. He may be quite lazy and inflexible in his thinking, and he is almost certainly emotionally obtuse. His rigidity and lack of motivation may cause him to stagnate rather than move forward on his life course. Alternatively, he may be so focused on work and material security that he neglects his emotional commitments and other aspects of his life.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Hidden or unconscious factors as opposed to the overt or conscious meanings of the upright card.
Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Judgment card suggests that you may not be heeding the call to wake up and change the direction of your life. If you reject this opportunity to become reanimated, you may end up stagnating and feel stuck in a rut. Perhaps your reluctance is due to fear of change, a sense of regret, or feelings of self-recrimination. Ponder the biblical verse: ‘Except a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit’ (John 12:24, King James 2000 Version).

Tarot Triumphs: I sprang into action at a party once as a wandering fortune-teller. I decided to take a pack of Tarot cards with me and offer to read them if any of the guests showed an interest. I stuck the pack rather theatrically into a red sash that I was wearing, and I pulled them out on request. I did this while in circulationno props, fancy seating arrangements, or calls for silence. It was all done within the merry chatter around me. One of the guests was a young woman who was planning to work as an au pair in America for the summer. I can’t recall the exact cards, but I do remember saying to her, ‘I think you’ll be doing a lot more traveling than you expect.’ She shook her head and said she’d be staying put in the one location the whole time. I thought that perhaps I had it wrong. But when I next caught up with her, after the summer, she said that the job had been awful so she’d quit and spent the rest of her time traveling. One point on this example: ideally, neither accept nor reject the other person’s immediate take on the reading that you give. You have said your piece; leave it to work in its own way.
