The Queen of Pentacles is an image of Mother Earth. She does not live in a castle but instead out in a field surrounded by flowers, plants and animals. She holds the Pentacle lovingly and tenderly, almost like it is a baby, reflecting the fertile, nurturing qualities of earth, and showing that one of her primary values is security. It is hard not to feel a little safer just by looking at this warm, friendly card.

The Queen of Pentacles has an acute awareness of the magic and beauty of the natural world and loves to foster and encourage this awareness in others. This card may represent a maternal figure in your life (whether she is maternal to you, or simply in her personality in general), or one who has deep connection to natural forces. This card may be advising self-care, including proper diet, exercise, hygiene, financial good sense or taking some time to relax in nature. It may signify a homebody or very domestic person in your life, or representing that you need to put more care or time in your home.

The Queen of Pentacles is soothing to others, spreading a sense of calm, safety and trust in the greater forces of life, especially nature, and this may be the attitude that will most serve you now in your work or relationships. She leans forward in care and attention, but her gaze is focused somewhat inward, emphasizing that she is not only one who takes good care of others but one who also makes sure that she herself feels happy and strong. She has a sense of security coming from deep within. The Queen is an image of self-worth and self-value.

Activities like yoga and meditation, as well as nourishing food bring a sense of “groundedness” or centering which the Queen of Pentacles represents. Become comfortable in your skin. Feel your feet firmly on the ground. Spend time in nature and appreciate that you are at home wherever you are because the nurturing powers of the earth itself are infinite and constantly flowing to you.
