Queen of Pentacles, Rider-Waite-Smith tarot card

Minor Arcana, Pentacles

Queen of Pentacles

abundance, generosity, security, freedom

Upright

In a flowering garden, a crowned figure sits with a coin held in the lap and a rabbit at the foot of the throne. Waite gives opulence, generosity, magnificence, security and liberty.

Notice the last two words. Money and a well-kept home matter here because they give you room to choose. Look after your budget and your own rest as carefully as you look after others, and share from what you can afford.

Reversed

Security gives way to worry. Waite's words are evil, suspicion, suspense, fear and mistrust, the state of someone who keeps checking the locks.

You may be doubting a partner's spending or a friend's kindness with little evidence. Ask what would settle the doubt, then find that out. Caring for everyone while feeling unsafe is draining, so let someone else carry a share this month.

A card is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.

In Waite's words

Upright: Opulence, generosity, magnificence, security, liberty.

Reversed: Evil, suspicion, suspense, fear, mistrust.
