The only time the King of Pentacles is not positive for a love reading is when your partner does not have the same personality traits as the King of Pentacles. Is your lover a day-dreamer? Are they all talk, no action? Do they lack drive? Are they non-traditional? If the answer is yes to these questions, then your lover is not a King of Pentacles. Therefore, I would predict that this card warns that your current relationship will not last. However, you will meet the King of Pentacles in the future, especially if his card has landed in the outcome position of a love Tarot spread.
