The Queen of Pentacles is the quintessential working mother….

…a good mother and very capable in the work place!

‘The Queen of Hearth and Home’ is how I first labelled this Queen’s qualities. 

How to understand the Queen of Pentacles is to realise the way this Queen shows her love (and all Queen’s in Tarot are ‘mother’s and they offer their love in different ways) is by being wonderfully grounded, practical and caring.  She has that earth mother quality. She is down-to-earth and a lover of harmony and beauty.  I imagine if she were my mother there would be delicious healthy food on the table, the home would be tidy and clean, a bunch of wild flowers she had picked would be on the table.  I can almost smell the apple pie.  I joke but what I feel about this Queen is her invitation to feel nurtured, she is someone who brings a sense of stability, safety and security to situations; who understands and manages the practicalities of life, who makes life more comfortable. With the basics taken care of, those in her care can flourish and this is the great value she brings. The Queen of Pentacles also understands the value of self-care as she loves the comforts of life.

Surrounded by the abundance of Nature this Queen represents the mother who nurtures by appreciating the material world and how it works.

However don’t be fooled by the ‘Queen of hearth and home’ label, while she can be a great home maker, this is someone who applies the same skills to her work and to business. She is good with organisations, finances, managing people and projects.  She understands what is needed to give people and enterprises the conditions they need to flourish. She takes care of the day to day practicalities and is a great organiser and therein lies her value to both ‘families’. She likes to be valued. And that means financially too. This Queen is often the working parent and primary breadwinner. She works hard in order to be able to provide and she likes the good things of life. Generous, resourceful, down to earth, she is the mother who nurtures by bringing her pragmatic and capable skills to the material world and thereby be able to enjoy and appreciate its many comforts and pleasures. So remember to thank her, she’ll appreciate it.
