Hi, I just started learning tarot and did a pull for myself last night. I asked if my bf was thinking about getting back together with me. I pulled 3 cards:
6 of Cups
King of Pentacles
9 of Cups
I can't for the life of me figure out what the King of Pentacles means here. Any suggestions?
But for the general thought of the king of pentacles:
(An excerpt from an article on Tarot meanings)
The King of Pentacles
The King of the Thrones of Earth
Numerical Value: 4
Elemental Name: Air of Earth
Divinatory meaning
Upright - A loyal and dependable leader who is neither particularly intelligent or imaginative. He is trustworthy, patient, cautious and uses his inborn wisdom to increase his wealth. He is slow to lose his temper, but once angered he stands rigid against his enemies.
Ill Dignified or Reversed - A person who is easily bought, dull, very materialistic and mercenary. He is blind to beauty and hates change as he finds it hard to adapt. He treads a well worn path even if it leads nowhere.

Try meditating on it to let them flow together in meaning.
As long as you understand the meaning of the positions they're in you should be able to understand within the instant to reading them.
Make sure your mind is clear and open to every possibility of the cards' meanings.
From looking at these cards I would say there's a very good chance of you getting back together with your ex. six of cups , to me always relates to the past, and nine times out of ten it means someone from the past coming back into your life. It can also mean looking back at the past but usually with fondness, and good memories. The nine of cups is generally considered the wish card, and usually signifies that you will get your wish, emotional fulfillment and good luck, is predicted here, and as this outcome card things look very positive for you.
As for the king of pentacles - he usually stands for an earth sign male. Is your ex boyfriend born under the sign taurus, virgo, or capricorn?? If not it generally means a man who is solid, and dependable, maybe not the most exciting man, but someone you can count on. He tends to be very traditional, and likes routine, and order in his life. On the negative sign it can mean someone who is very stubborn, but seeing as he is surrounded by two positive cards, and also cards relating to love, and emotions things look like they will be ok for you.
I hope this helps,
Love and light xxx
p.s, I just had a thought, these cards could mean, that your ex does want to get back together, and that in the end you will reconcile, but at the moment he's being very stubborn about things, and right now you need to be patient.
wow, thanks, Irisrose. You hit it exactly. I guess the King represents my ex in general because that is an excellent description of him. and... your after-thought, btw, describes our situation perfectly.
thanks for giving me some perspective. It's so hard to see clearly when it's for yourself.
Your welcome, I know some people who can read for themselves, but I haven't managed it yet. Its hard to be objective when your emotionally involved in the subject, i think.
