Queen of Pentacles Description

This description is based on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck. A dark haired, prosperous Queen sits on her throne amidst an abundant landscape. She belongs to this landscape, the plants and animals. She is expensively dressed and adorned with jewels, including the large precious pentacle that she holds in her hands and admires. The rounded pentacle is held near her womb, like a pregnancy, which is why this card is sometimes a reference to family planning. A rabbit hops into the card, a symbol of fertility.

You feel this Queen wants you to focus your attention on the pentacle. Pentacles are associated with action, health and other practical matters. If you feel that there are things around you which need doing, then this card is saying get on with doing them. Now is not a time of just sitting around, waiting for something to happen. This is also a good time to examine your ideals and goals, for it is possible to actualize them in various ways now.

Court Card Personality Traits

When this Queen refers to a person, she is a big-hearted woman with a cheerful attitude. A productive person, she is not afraid of hard work. She is generous and likes to share with those she loves. She is a home-maker, a business woman, a mother, whatever role she puts her mind to, she carries off with style and grace. Her primary care is maintaining a safe and beautiful home and garden for herself and loved ones. She is associated with Mother Earth, but is different from the Empress card because she is more down to earth. She is more real and practical, and less Goddess-like. She can be described as sensuous, lavish, supportive, nurturing, resourceful and charitable.

Ultimately the Queen of Pentacles is an old soul who becomes more carefree, the older she gets.
