Queen of Pentacles Tarot Card Description
To fully understand the Queen of Pentacles tarot card meaning, we will first take a look at the illustration, its colors, and its symbolism.
Like the Page, Knight, and King of her suit, the Queen of Pentacles is set against a golden sky. She also holds a pentacle of the same hue which represents all of her earthly desires.
Although she is seated on a beautiful throne, her posture is one of humility and grace rather than pomp and circumstance.
She is surrounded by budding flowers and earthly abundance, which represent both growth and intellect. The cherub and beasts carved into her throne, as well as the rabbit positioned nearby, represent her connection with animals and fertility. Both a mother and a shrewd businesswoman, the Queen can do it all.
