The King of Pentacles watches over his kingdom, forever making plans and decisions to ensure every move made will benefit his people in the long run. He keeps an eye on everything and everyone, nothing escapes his notice. Whilst noble, this is a tiring approach. This reading points to a significant lack of fun and spontaneity and suggests it is time for a shift. Sometimes it's best to throw caution to the wind and go on an adventure. It is no coincidence that all the runes in this reading appear in reverse - things will not improve unless changes are made. Predictability brings security and stability, but it can also be stifling. 

Tiwaz is the rune of honour, responsibility and law. Appearing in reverse here, it suggests that it's time for you to ignore the laws you've been operating under as they have been imprisoning you. Berkana is the rune of birth, but in reverse it can symbolise death, suggesting that it's time to release your current perspective on honour and responsibility so that a new way of living can emerge - one where the weight of the entire kingdom’s success doesn't rest so heavy on your shoulders. Wunjo is the rune of joy. It's no surprise here that Wunjo is in reverse - all work and no play can make for an exhausting existence. It’s time to do things differently.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. The advice of this reading is to embrace the energy of the Knight of Wands - the wildfire of the Tarot. The Knight of Wands is an explorer and a trail blazer. He is asking you to channel his adventurous spirit and see where it leads you. You never know, he may guide you to explore a foreign kingdom to open you up to the possibility that there may be a better way for you to rule over yours.
