The Queen of Pentacles sits on her throne in the middle of a garden while staring lovingly at the pentacle in her lap. The card illustrates authority through compassion. Instead of ruling with an iron fist, the queen allows things to grow on their own. In her motherly patience, she becomes one with the world around her.
Rather than sitting upright and stiff on her throne like other queens, the queen in this card is stooping over the pentacle in her lap. She looks upon the gold pentacle with motherly love and care, as if the pentacle is her child. Rather than holding the pentacle in the tips of her hands, like in the Page and Knight cards, the queen holds it in her lap. This full embrace of the coin shows an intimacy that is lacking in the more objective illustrations in the suit.
Surrounding the queen and throne are red lotuses, signifying purity and divinity of goddess Lakshmi. In the lower righthand corner of the card, their hops a rabbit. Rabbits are typically symbols of fertility. The creature therefore adds to the themes of harvest, represented by the flowers and of intimacy, represented by how the queen holds the pentacle. In front of the queen, there is a Shivlinga and seems like the queen has just completed worshipping with a lot of flowers. She requests for longevity for her dear ones from Mrityunjay Shiv.

Reverse meaning

It suggests that you may be neglecting your own needs or that you’re overly focused on material possessions. The card encourages you to prioritize self-care and to find a balance between material and emotional needs.
