In short: The throne is run by appetite — accumulation as identity, generosity replaced by leverage; remember what the wealth was for.
The same throne, occupied by appetite. Reversed, the King of Pentacles forgets that wealth was ever for anything: accumulation as identity, status defended instead of value created, generosity replaced by leverage, money used to steer spouses, heirs, and employees. He can appear as the domineering provider whose support is a system of control, the boss who pays well and owns you, or your own drift toward measuring every relationship in returns. Sometimes he is simply the empire's prisoner, rich in assets, bankrupt in hours, the maintainer of a fortune that no longer contains a life. The way back is his own upright virtue: stewardship. Ask what the wealth is for, answer in names of people, and spend accordingly.
