A queen sits on a carved throne in a lush garden, holding a pentacle in her lap and looking at it fondly. Roses frame the scene from above, a rabbit sits near her feet, and fruit and goats are carved on her throne.
She is the mature, caring side of Earth: comfort, food, home, money handled well. The Queen of Pentacles can describe someone who takes care of others without fuss, or a time when you are asked to tend your own body, home and finances.
