Queen of Pentacles description
The Queen of Pentacles sits in a flourishing garden, with a rabbit in the scene, a sign of her fertility. Her red robes signal energy over a white gown of truth. She is strong and healthy. She holds a pentacle in her lap, showing her nurturing side. With all the loveliness of the Queen, it’s surprising to see her sitting on a rather creepy throne. The goat’s head represents her earthly qualities (Capricorn), while the angels show that she has lots of new ideas. The throne is made of stone because she is well balanced and wise.
Upright meaning
The energy of this card brings wisdom, balance, and intelligence. She often represents you, a caregiver in your life (male or female), or an energy you need to embrace. You are generous and kind hearted. However, others should not mistake your kindness for weakness. You have a deep, dark part yourself that comes from wisdom and the earth. You have a very down to earth, practical attitude. You are able to provide for yourself and you nurture others. A common metaphor for this card is a single working parent – someone who earns the living, provides the meals, runs the home, and nurtures the family. The advice of this card is to focus on creating a calm and balanced environment. Connect with mother nature. You are financially secure, so make sure you are also investing in both your relationships and your personal wealth.
Reversed meaning
The reversed side of this card bring unbalanced energy, suspicion, and fear. If something seems off to you, follow your instinct and look for the facts. The unbalanced scales could lie in your work life balance. Either your work is taking you away from your personal life, or your personal life is needing more attention than work right now. It’s important to step away from the day to day responsibilities and take care of yourself. Life is short! This can lead to an inner conflict and you need to prioritize what’s important for you now. Delegate some of the work to someone else. This card can also be a warning that you are getting to be too attached to things and status symbols. Focus on investing in your time and wellbeing rather than material luxuries. Perhaps order a meal delivery service so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying a hobby. Or hire someone to help with the housework so you can get work done on the weekends. If you want to take care of others, it’s important for you to take care of yourself first.
Queen of Pentacles quote
“Do not get attached to worldly things and pursuits. Be in the world, but do not let the world be in you.” Sathya Sai Baba
