King of Pentacles & 9 of Pentacles
King of Pentacles & 9 of Pentacles
Analysis:
Grapes are present in both landscapes, as seen on the King's robe and in the 9’s garden. To us, it looks like the garden could be the robe and vise versa (they are just draped in different ways). Grapes represent abundance, pleasure, luxury, and materiality. It is these themes that find themselves present in both cards.
While one figure is sitting and the other standing, their posturing is similar i.e. the way they tilt their head and the way each of their hands is occupied.
There is a clear delineation in both landscapes. The King has a wall behind them and the 9 has a fence.
There is a castle in the background of both cards.
Both cards appear very lush, with a bright yellow sky.
The combination of these cards feels like mutual thriving between community and leadership. It's as if the 9 supplies the King and the King pays well for the supply, and in that way, both cards flourish.
What do YOU see???
Possible Interpretation:
Both the King of Pentacles and the 9 of Pentacles feel like they form a mutually thriving community scene. It’s as if the 9 supplies the King and the King pays well for that supply, and in that way, both cards flourish. It could be said then that a leader is only as well off as the people in their kingdom. When one thrives, they all thrive. There is a sense of luxury, abundance and reciprocity happening here. It is also possible that what we are looking at is a very comfortable situation, overflowing with wealth and possibility. What was planted has taken beautiful form, ready to be enjoyed and experienced by all.
