Knight of Wands and Knight of Pentacles

The fastest Knight and the slowest, which is the deck arguing with itself. The Knight of Pentacles is the only one who is not really moving: he sits still on a stationary horse and gets things finished. The tradition reads the pair as haste and thoroughness in the same situation, and as neither being able to convince the other.

Associated with two people, or two impulses, working at incompatible speeds. Read as a real difference rather than a fault.

The classic tension between shipping and doing it properly. Frequently read where both positions are defensible and the argument is not being had openly.

The Knight of Pentacles finishes and the Knight of Wands starts. This pairing is most useful read as a question about which the current situation is short of.
