Sephirothic Planetary Correspondence

Tarot Knights fall on Chokmah, the second sephirah of the QBL Tree of Life. This sephiroth has the planetary attribute of Uranus. In the case of this Knight, the planet’s progressive, rebellious nature is suppressed by the heavy material quality of Earth.

Knight of Earth Personality Type

With Knight of Earth, the element of Fire is suppressed, creating a smouldering, brooding quality. On occasion, it can appear there is no drive whatsoever with this character because of a heavy and dull demeanour. This is even more expressed because the planetary ruler of Capricorn is Saturn, a planet that expresses restriction and order

However, be aware that their patient and industrious focus can be provoked into unexpected, explosive and possibly violent outbursts when Fire and Uranus are given an outlet to express themselves.

The Knight of Earth type’s ability to focus, be pragmatic, and be reliable is the key to this personality type’s success in all material undertakings, appearing as a natural and instinctive ability. They have resolve to follow through against all odds to achieve their goals. These traits are reinforced through the Uranus quality of objectivity. Uranus is not as a rule comfortable in Earth but in the instance of objectivity, this facet of Uranus finds Earth to be a natural vehicle.

Knight of Earth types find success due to their solid work ethic and an aptitude for patiently working towards finishing what they begin whatever the opposition.
