The image and its meaning
In the midst of lush nature, the Queen of Pentacles sits gracefully on her throne.
The sky shines golden and rich; strong vines with red and black blossoms grow around her head. The mountains on the horizon of this card flow through the landscape like waves. The queen’s throne is richly decorated and solid.
As a mother holds her baby in her arms, she carries the golden coin gently and caringly. The Queen of Pentacles symbolizes the cycle of nature, Mother Earth. Her robe shows the red and green of life, the white and gold of birth; the black blossoms above her symbolize passing away.
The cycle of life includes rebirth, life and passing away. The Queen of Pentacles humbly shows her respect for these laws of the universal cycle. The card points to a kind, down-to-earth woman or to a sensual and fruitful situation.
We are meant to accept what comes our way and to find our place in the great cycle of life.
