After all, as a traditionalist, he needs to pass on his legacy.
The King of Pentacles in a Relationship
He’s a jolly sort most of the time, so his partner will reap the rewards of being the lover of a well-off man. He will treat her like his queen, making sure she displays the evidence of his wealth for all to see. Out of the public eye, he is down-to-earth, reasonable and easy to get on with. He has deep passion and is often spiritually motivated. He is a good father, a wonderful grandfather and a loving husband. There may be problems in the early years, as both partners struggle with the demands of his work, the likelihood of poverty and the possibility of cheating. Once past all that, the relationship matures as stability and security become the key factors.
You will find that most men are a combination of at least two Kings. Some will have Knight and Queen characteristics. However, it is usually easy to see the court card that most resembles their personality. Have a little fun with this: make a list of men you know and assign them to one of the four Kings. Journal about your interactions, and how they fit their designated royal character.
