I use the Rider Waite Tarot if you would like to view the card while you listen using your own Tarot card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring the King of Pentacles, focusing on reversals. First, let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then the meaning when reversed.The King of Pentacles upright is a figure of success, wealth, and stability. He represents the ability to build a solid foundation, create abundance, and lead others with wisdom and generosity.When reversed, this card suggests that you may be handling power, finances, or responsibilities in an imbalanced way. You might be overly focused on material success, neglecting other important aspects of life, or struggling to maintain control. The reversed King of Pentacles can indicate a misuse of resources or a lack of integrity in handling wealth or authority.Next, let's talk about how to read the King of Pentacles reversed in a reading. When the King of Pentacles reversed appears in a reading, it's often a sign that you must reevaluate your relationship with success and money. This card encourages you to balance building wealth and maintaining personal integrity and well-being. It may also suggest that you need help with leadership or control. If you're in a position of authority, the reversed King of Pentacles asks you to consider whether you're being too rigid or controlling in your approach. This card suggests that loosening your grip on control could lead to better outcomes and relationships that are more harmonious. Let's talk about ways to memorize the King of Pentacles Reversed. I find it helpful to think of a situation in my life that I can tie to the card.  For example, my reversed King of Pentacles moment has been recently.  I have learned how much I need control over my environment.  My home falls under management of resources, and we enjoy the tranquility of a rural setting and the quiet nature of our home.  There are just the two of us, and we do not have cable TV in the house. We sit down occasionally to watch a movie together on Netflix or Amazon Prime.  Our home is quiet.  This summer, we have had three rounds of company back to back, over five and a half weeks.  And truthfully, it has been wonderful.  Friends and family that we love have been joining us in our space, and we have been dining together, sightseeing, and visiting.  As I write this, we are at the end of a three-week visit with my husband's family from Germany.  They are lovely, and we have had a lot of fun together.  However, I have found myself in a King of Pentacles reversed because I cannot get a plan nailed down with this group.  I have had to manage my...

Tarot has been a 30-year journey for me. I first learned to read tarot in a two-and-a-half-day course, and I was hooked! I loved having my cards read and wanted to demystify the process so I could read for myself and others.At first, learning tarot felt like a memorization game—understanding the meanings of each card and how they fit into a spread. It took years to weave them into a story and even longer to trust my intuition (which, honestly, I still struggle with!).In my professional life, I’m an instructional designer, course writer, and digital content creator. So, naturally, I wanted to create a structured way to share how I learned tarot—by focusing on the foundations, especially card symbolism. That’s why I created this bite-sized tarot learning podcast. Each episode is around 3 minutes long, designed to help beginners learn and memorize tarot cards efficiently. Okay… I’m not THAT precise—some episodes are closer to 2.5 or 3.5 minutes, with special episodes running longer! What You’ll Get from This Podcast:A practical, no-fluff way to learn tarot – focused on symbolism, numerology, and core meanings.A structured approach – designed for left-brained learners who prefer clear explanations before tapping into intuition.Designed for all learning styles – If you’re a visual learner, I recommend looking up the Rider-Waite card images on your phone or using a physical deck while listening.Beginner-friendly but valuable for experienced readers – Even if you know the basics, this podcast can help reinforce key lessons.I love the woo-woo side of tarot, astrology, and numerology, but I also know that too much mysticism at the start can make learning tarot overwhelming. This podcast keeps things clear and structured, so you can build a strong foundation before diving deeper into intuition and spiritual exploration.I hope you enjoy learning tarot as much as I do!Happy Reading!~ Carrie
