Minor Arcana · Pentacles
Queen of Pentacles
The provider
Upright meaning
Someone who both earns and looks after people. Warmth resting on a solid material base.
Reversed meaning
Taking on too much, caring for everyone but yourself, or over-valuing possessions.
What is in the picture
She sits on a throne carved with fruit, goats' heads and angels, looking down at the pentacle in her lap the way you would hold a child. Roses arch overhead, and in the lower corner a rabbit runs past. Meadow all around. She is very good at looking after things, and what she is looking at is not money but something she is raising.
Love
A thoughtful, practical partner.
Career
Managing both resources and people well.
