What is the meaning of symbols in Knight of Pentacles Tarot Card?

The Knight of Pentacles personifies a state of mind characterized by diligence, patience and perseverance, in which the necessary and useful things are created. It symbolizes something solid, serious, permanent, that soil or foundation on which we can build our future.
We see a rider in armor, sitting on a black horse, holding a golden Pentacle in his hands. In the background, like on many cards of this suit, we see fields, hills, trees. The stable posture of a man and a horse, a yellow background interspersed with red – all this gives Arcana the energy of self-confidence and the future.
