King of Pentacles, reversed

The King of Pentacles is someone who is patient, waiting for the right opportunity, has vast resources, lacks for nothing.  He's confident, he's secure, he has vast knowledge or has the resources to go out and find those who do.  While his exterior is covered in a soft cloth, signifying he approachable, do not take advantage of his generosity and kindness because beneath that warm exterior he's wearing a battle armor and will fight for what is his.

In the reverse position, patience could be lacking perhaps you're vulnerable to take any opportunity without weighing all of the considerations - good and bad because the present situation isn't so great, or perhaps confidence is lacking.  This would be a sign to slow down and look at situations or relationships a bit closer, just to see if there's anything that is lurking in the wings that could make an uncomfortable situation more troubling.  Be bold, don't cower - for goodness sakes ask questions to see if this is the right situation for you.

King of Pentacles, reversed

The King of Pentacles, reversed, would indicate an incident or a series of incidents have caused things to turn from a prosperous situation to one of concern.  The vision was grand but the plan was more of a verbose sales pitch - the execution were poor, and some unexpected issues arose and caused further complication.  As things have devolved, there were decisions made in poor judgement, focus was on the plan rather than to obvious environmental changes.

While setbacks have occurred, all may not  be lost.  The situation may not be entirely lost.  More than a review of acumen is needed here, a review of commitment among the stakeholders is also needed and listening to their opinion - perhaps there's a plan or angle that has not been considered yet.
