They are grounded, nurturing, creative, and receptive. The Queen of Pentacles may represent that same energy within you. They are an invitation to get in touch with your earthy, practical, side. Allow yourself to give, but remain grounded in your power. Let your generosity of spirit be your strength instead of a weakness.
The reversed may represent someone whose generosity is being taken advantage of or misplaced. It is a reminder to take care of your material well-being before that of others. You must nurture yourself first. In the same vein, it indicates a time to focus on self-care and setting yourself up for financial independence. It may also represent an imbalance in your home or work life. If it feels like your attention isn’t where it needs to be, you may need to re-evaluate your priorities. It is an invitation to spend some time reconnecting with yourself and nature so that you may find the material balance and poise of a queen.
