In this combination, the transformative nature of the Death card is given shape and direction by the Knight of Pentacles. The Death always shows some sort of ending, often unwanted and in some cases unexpected too. The Knight of Pentacles gives us insight on what happens after the ending and what the next stage/step will be. The Knight of Pentacles is about being pragmatic, realistic, methodical and it's also about having a mission, a goal.

• Setting a realistic and long term goal after an ending
• The worst is over and we're making plans to move forward
• An ending/transformation, followed by physical move (to another city, house)
• Opportunities for material gain that come after a death/an ending
• In relationships, the Death/Knight of Pentacles combination could predict a breakup or the end of a chapter, followed by plans and actions that put wheels in motion again
• As an advice, the Death and the Knight of Pentacles suggest that in order to move forward, any unfinished business we may have, would have to be dealt with first
• If we're looking for a job, this combo means that a new offer is coming our way, but not before we closed the previous chapter first (i.e. we have to leave our current job first or we have to finish something we've started)

The elements of the cards are Water (Death) and Earth (Knight of Pentacles). Water and Earth blend together well, so we coud say that Death's watery nature prepares and fertilizes the soil, while the Knight of Pentacles plants the seeds. The process is slow and gradual since the elements of both cards are passive, but overall, this combination shows progress, even if it happens under stressful circumstances.
