This card is taken from the Gendron deck, which uses a more modern name for the Knight, namely "Prince". This is one of my favourite decks, as I find the imagery (which is beautiful) particularly inspiring. I also find the colours very appealing. It is ideal as a second deck, but will also suit beginners with some knowledge of the cards. It is essentially a feminine deck, very much Goddess/Earth centred - part reality, part fantasy, and packed with symbolism. 
Once again I've been given one of the Pentacle court cards, this time the Knight. Quite why I keep choosing cards suggesting a family with money I don't know, but maybe it's a sign that my finances are going to improve soon - let's hope so!
When the Knight of Pentacles is referring to a particular person in a reading, the person concerned will more than likely be a young man aged somewhere between 18-35. Often it is someone the client is concerned about and suggests that news concerning them (usually good) is on the way. In a love reading, this card can foretell a relationship with a younger person; other sources say it is the sign of an illicit affair.
When this card relates to a specific event, it is usually indicative of taking responsibility for something, or taking charge of a situation. Sometimes it relates to mistakes made in the past which rear their heads again and need rectifying, in which case it is essential to deal with the situation in a responsible manner without attempting to avoid it.
This is an advantageous card to draw in a reading concerning finances, as it shows a steady increase in income, usually as a result of hard work and effort on the subject's part. It can also indicate improvement due to attempts to economise and cut corners finally paying off for the subject.

I can't say that this card had any real relevance for me, unless I count a problem I had with a neighbour which had to be dealt with today after being initiated yesterday (not worth going into here, you can find out more about it on my humour blog if you wish.
This card did seem to have relevance for a visitor to this diary, however. You can read all about it in her own words if you click on the "Comments" link below.

I think it a mistake to interpret all "Pentacles" people as rich,let alone necessarily a family (if I ever bought a lottery ticket, which I don't, I would rather do it on the strength of the Ace of Pentacles, rather than any of the court cards! lol)
Court cards refer to people, or a particular type of personality, imho. The Pages or Princesses indicate a child, or that aspect of one's inner child under the influence of the element in question. The Knights or Princes refer to adolescents, or an adolescent aspect of oneself. The Queens and Kings refer to adult men and women with a prominence of the element in question in their personalities/horoscopes. See my blog for very free-flowing interpretations, not at all standard, of the King, Knight and Princess (I do the King twice, once for someone else, and once for me, as in my Tarot, he takes the form of an androgynous silhouette, which can represent either male or female, as "grounded shaman"). The Queen has yet to come, but I will hint that she amounts to a Capricorn woman, and in my case, probably my sidereal Capricorn mum! lol
The minor pips in Pentacles could have more to do with financial situations themselves ;-))
lmao rotf
