Queen of Pentacles

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” - Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Element of earth power: The Queen of Pentacles represents a grounded person who plays many roles to ensure happiness in the family. She knows how and when to show love which, among other things, includes keeping an orderly home, cooking comforting meals and taking care of the children.


This Queen represents a nurturer or motherly figure who desires to help anyone maneuver their way to achieve their goals with natural common sense. Alongside all these nurturing and motherly attributes, she can plan business ventures and execute her plans successfully. It is through an internal and naturally talented manner in the business sense that the Queen of Pentacles manages to be surrounded by perceived luxury. She is quiet and does not like disclosing her financial accounts, fearing that such an exposure could bring more complexity to her life, which she desires to keep rather simple. She may have a secret bank account that nobody knows about because she chooses to be careful, vigilant and self-sufficient.

The Queen of Pentacles will not only show you love, but she will also show you the way forward whenever you seem to be stranded and confused. With her advice, she will ensure that you do not make dangerous financial decisions. She offers an objectivity which can be seen as precaution, principles and/or support because of her personal life experiences. She is a self-made woman who also wants you to become independent and wise, such that you are also able to raise others and make them responsible for their life path.

The Queen of Pentacles may not always represent a woman or a person, but can also be a moment or a situation in which you are urged to apply internal wisdom from your soul. Wisdom and knowledge comes from the higher self which in turn is also rooted in the soul.

This Queen is a worldly, practical, generous, hardworking and warm person, who has a talent for business as well as a love of comfort and luxury. She enjoys making her home welcoming and is always delighted to have guests.

If you are a single person right now, you should be in a wonderful position to choose a partner that truly brings something into your life. You’ll likely have high standards, and hope for someone who has the same level of dedication, commitment and ambition as you do. If you’re already in a relationship, you may find that the two of you are enjoying a stable, fruitful and prosperous time in your life together. You can certainly afford to indulge a little and treat yourselves.


In times of imbalance: The Queen of Pentacles can become disconnected with the energy of her heart, which may lead her to become overly obsessive in wanting to control everything.

Medicine: It is vital to tap back into the heart and the personal self and explore the original reason for the imbalances that can occur.

Mantra: I acknowledge love in a grounding manner.
