When the King of Pentacles appears reversed in a tarot reading, it often represents a distortion of the qualities typically associated with this card—groundedness, stability, and material mastery. This reversal may indicate a perception of instability, overindulgence, or lack of balance in matters related to wealth, control, and personal priorities.
As a reflection of how someone sees you, the King of Pentacles reversed suggests that you might be perceived as someone who struggles with materialism or control, or as someone who may not be living up to their full potential in key areas of life. This can manifest differently depending on the context, whether in love, career, health, or personal growth.
