Queen of Pentacles
The Queen, Mother Nature, holds her Pentacle to her heart. All around her the cosmic energy shoots from strawberry to strawberry, enveloping her in an otherworldly light. At her feet, two brindled rabbits lope amongst the greenery. Warm-blooded, intelligent, they make fitting companions for this terrestrial queen. She nurtures life and its fecundity; creation renews itself in her presence. Presiding over fertile ground, she is the sanguine goddess of abundance and prosperity.
~
upright meaning:
masterful strength • force of creation • grounded
The Queen of Pentacles is a wonderful sign: she is the embodiment of natural goodness. She is the earthbound answer to the Empress, hale and warm and ready to provide a safe haven. If you see her crop up in a reading, you are a powerful force for creation. You are grounded in reality, exuding a subtle, masterful strength that can be channeled into any endeavor. Be prepared for everything you touch to blossom under your hand.
~
reversed meaning:
inner strength • solitude with nature • independent
Rich and fertile in her own right, an inverted Queen of Pentacles walks a quieter path. Her warmth, emanating from deep within, may be less visible on the surface. But this Queen knows her worth, sustained by a vibrant inner life. She may hesitate to engage with the world around her, preferring her own company or that of the natural world. But if you spend too long in the green world, you may find yourself too rooted to the ground, unable to shake off the life that has grown up around you. Stay close to the surface. Keep the sun’s light on your face.
