The Queen of Pentacles Tarot Meaning
The Queen of Pentacles shares a lot of similarities with The Empress, only instead of mirroring the ‘mother’ archetype, the Queen of Pentacles invites us to be the one who nurtures, fertilises and takes care of the material world. It’s a card about taking care of your physical, mental and spiritual bodies. It encourages us to pour ourselves into the things that make us feel a sense of belonging or groundedness.
When we step into the traits of the Queen of Pentacles, we can tap into the things we need in order to feel safe and taken care of. This might be something like ensuring your home is cosy and inviting, or making sure to take time out of your day to check in with yourself. It can feel like a slow-moving stream, gentle but soothing. It can remind us to always make time for doing things just because we love to do them, or because they make us feel good.
In more extreme circumstances, the Queen of Pentacles can overcompensate with this nurturing, causing us to come across as controlling or overly worried or anxious. It can lead us to feel our own feelings so deeply that we may then project these onto others. In other cases, it can make us too involved in our own emotional well-being that we are blinded to the suffering of others. We may lose the ability to tap into empathy more readily or find it hard to read others’ emotions.
