It might seem like a really stupid question because one is energy and the other represents the material world, but I have come across certain contexts where the two have confused me.
In one example as what one person wants from two people: from one person the Knight of Cups, the other person the King of Pentacles. The Knight of Cups was clear (they want to give them romantic affection) but the King of Pentacles person is much more confusing. From what I know, these two people would be a brief fling, lovers at best. Immediately, I would have thought the person would want to give them something long-lasting, stable and concrete if I didn't know the situation, which is how I read the King of Pentacles. HOWEVER, as this is purely a sexual thing, I would not have expected to see the King of Pents - maybe the King of Wands or the Knight of Wands. Why would they want to give something stable and long-lasting to someone they just want a fling with?
I was under the impression that sex = energy = wands. Why then would the King of Pentacles show up? I know that the pentacles can also mean the 'body' - but the King of Pents is too stable and grounded for a fling. Isn't he? Similarly, the Queen of Pentacles has often come up for a sexy woman - but why not the Queen of Wands, who is said to be the sexiest of the queens? I'm really confused.
