This past week I flew my son all over the country for various reasons relating to his entire future. First, we traveled to California to write a math test, in the hopes that one of the universities he has applied to will accept him.
Next, we flew to Pennsylvania and New York to check out two universities he's been accepted to already, in the hopes that maybe he could just settle on one and we can move on.
We left with less information than we started with. Both schools were perfectly fine in their own ways, and my kid could see himself at either.
My son's apathy about which college to choose is a very reversed Knight of Pentacles way to be. Flying him around the country for no reason makes me freak out about money, and I begin to hoard it like another type of reversed Knight of Pentacles. My kid's Dad then gets all impatient because our son hasn't made a decision yet and the due date is fast approaching, so that's yet another type of reversed knight of pentacles. And all of this takes place during mid-April to mid-May, which is the prime knight of pentacles (reversed or upright) time of year. No wonder the knight represents this time, all these kids with their decisions not being made, and their parents freaking out, is the knight of pentacles to a tee.
Time to nosh on some carbs.  

Upright, the Knight of Pentacles is a guard or another type of stationary protector. While ambitious, this knight surveys the land and chooses the best courses of action before making a move, making this card about practicality and dependability.

Reversed, the knight is impatient, irresponsible, or doesn’t finish what he or she starts. This card could also indicate a problem with earning money, or someone who is greedy and materialistic.

Before any card: Promises are not being kept about (card)
After any card: Disloyalty; lack of common sense

Because this is a Knight, what we picture is a bold and daring adventurer, charging out to save the world, as knights tend to do.

However, the Knight of Pentacles is more of a stationary protector. While ambitious, this knight surveys the land and chooses the best courses of action to take before making a move. With the knight’s careful examination in mind, this card is about practicality and dependability.
