Against a dark background, which fades to white at the bottom of the card we see the head of a young, male deer.. He has antlers but they aren't very big yet. He looks serious and his head is bowed. Above him in the sky is a golden crescent moon cradling a pentacle, the suit symbol.
Sons in this deck correspond to Knights in decks with more traditional imagery so they're about questing, searching, change and movement.
I think of the Court Cards as showing levels of maturity so Knights / Sons are more mature than Pages / Daughters but not as mature as Queens / Mothers or Kings / Fathers. I think of Sons in this deck as having a teenage type of mentality and level of maturity... They've learned some of the lessons that their element has to give but their elements are by no means fully understood or mastered by them yet.
The Pentacle or Earth suit to me is about things that are real and tangible, things that can be manifested so they're about money, security, health, the body, the home etc.
The Knight or Son of Pentacles is someone who knows the value of money and knows that to get what you want you must earn it and work for it and he's not afraid to do that, in fact he's prepared to do that.. He looks as if his head is bowed under the weight of his responsibilities but he's still standing and so is still heading towards his goal.
As far as movement goes, the Earth suit is the slowest moving suit and so is it's knight. The phrase I put with this card is 'slow and steady wins the race'... He's not the most exciting character in the tarot deck but he's dependable.. If he says he'll do something, he will work at it until it is done, no matter how long it takes.. This isn't a flighty knight who quickly loses interest in something like the Wand or Sword Knight does, this guy will plod away at something and he'll get the job done.. The glowing moon in the dark sky makes me think that this knight's goal is still a long way off but he's following it and he'll get there.
This knight is cautious; he doesn't rush into things and he can be stubborn too.
He's a Pentacle court so he's good at all things practical, he's good with his hands and he's good at making and fixing things.. He's more likely to be a plumber, a carpenter or some sort of craftsman than an intellectual but he's a very useful person to have around.
