The Queen of Pentacles appears in Tarot readings as a sign of abundance and nurturance. Her grounded energy provides fertile soil for everything from self care to business ventures.
The upright Queen of Pentacles gives us the support and the stable framework we need to succeed in life’s various endeavours, as well as the means to take care of any loved ones who rely on us, while the reversed Queen of Pentacles warps and inverts these same energies, hinting at the need to ensure that we have solid ground under our feet as we work to build and expand our kingdom.
What the Pentacles mean in Tarot
The Tarot’s suit of Pentacles (also called Coins) is connected with the element of earth and all of the aspects of life that are associated with it. The earth element deals with the physical realm and with everything in it, from our physical bodies to our finances and the homes we live in.
In its positive aspect, the earth element is stable and nurturing. Anything we imagine or desire can grow from fertile soil. In its negative aspect, the earth element turns to loose, unstable ground under our feet, upon which it become impossible to build anything lasting.
What the Queens mean in Tarot
Each of the Minor Arcana’s four suits has a female ruler, a Queen. Regardless of which element she rules over, the Queen herself is an embodiment of the feminine and receptive element of water, and her strengths lie in her emotional intelligence, her powerful intuition, her creativity and her ability to nurture.

A Queen Tarot card usually suggests a mature and well-established woman, someone who has already amassed plenty of life experience and status. She knows who she is, what her strengths are, what she wants and how she is going to achieve it.
It is important to remember that the Tarot speaks in metaphors, and that a Queen card can signify a man, and in some cases a younger but emotionally mature person who already possesses the wise, stable and confident energy of one of the Tarot’s four Queens.
