The Queen of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning
Overall Picture Structure
This woman wears a crown and sits on a meticulously carved seat, holding a coin in both hands and gazing down at it thoughtfully.
She is dressed in a red robe, with two feathers on the crown that fall from the green cloak draped over her shoulders to the ground.
The armrests of the throne are carved with the symbols of ram's heads, and the sides of the seat are adorned with reliefs of children. The back of the throne is covered with vines and melon leaves. Her seat is under the shade of the forest, beneath an archway of roses, with the grassy area where her seat is located blooming with numerous roses, and in the distance, one can see the foothills and rivers. At this moment, a rabbit is entering the scene from her left rear.
This woman is the Queen of Pentacles.
Detail Pattern Explanation
The Queen of Pentacles has a dignified and upright appearance, indicating that she is a woman who values practicality and has deep thoughts. She also has a serious and rational temperament. She holds the coin in her hands, gazing at her possession, and from it, she can see the world, which relates to the principles of the Golden Dawn (to be explained later). Her posture is elegant, her expression serene, and her gaze peaceful, as if she is immersed in it.
Her crown is dome-shaped, with two red feathers inserted in the middle, symbolizing the passion and drive of the spiritual aspect. The Queen of Pentacles' robe is red, with the sleeves of the white inner shirt exposed, creating a red and white contrast. The green headscarf extends from her head down to the seat, forming a shawl and cushion fabric, with green representing harmony and pleasure with nature.
The Queen's throne is situated in the greenery of an estate, under the dense shade of trees. The seat is stone-carved and covered with decorations. There are some angel patterns, similar to the throne of the Queen of Cups, with ram heads carved on the front ends. The foreground next to the throne is a fertile land, full of green grass and flowers. The rose trellis above indicates passionate love and romantic sentiment.
On the ground to the left of the throne, a hare is seen hopping by. Hares are always endearing small animals, generally symbolizing love, fertility, and the cycles of women. In some traditional cultures, hares are thought to have certain magical powers that can break the spells of witches and demons. Additionally, hares seem to have an inseparable relationship with the moon, and people sometimes see their figures in the moon. The hare is also a symbol of the Queen of Pentacles' femininity and gentleness.
The distant background features mountains and water, with green water flowing into the blue mountains, representing the integration of the material and spiritual emotional aspects. The undulating mountains behind her create a special scene—the reappearance of the Golden Dawn—the position of the coin coincides with the upper edge of the mountain, similar to the sun. This coin represents wisdom and light, making the card's meaning extraordinary, not just materialistic. This action seems to be meditating, divining, feeling, and gazing with the object held in the hand.
Throne
The throne on which the Queen sits is a symbol of her authoritative position in the realm of earth and matter. She is the epitome of stability, groundedness, and maternal energy. Her authority is not to dominate, but to nurture and sustain.
Pentacle
The pentacle she holds in her lap is the central symbol of the Earth element, representing not only wealth but also the interconnectedness of all things physical and spiritual. Her comfortable handling of the pentacle suggests her mastery over material concerns and her ability to manifest abundance.
Garden and Rabbit
Behind the Queen, a lush garden and a rabbit are visible. These symbolize fertility, prosperity, and the abundance of life’s pleasures. The rabbit, in particular, suggests a flourishing existence, supported by the natural world.
Carved Stone Throne
The intricately carved stone throne featuring cherubs and goats signifies her connection with the divine and the earthly simultaneously. The goats, animals deeply rooted in Earth energy, signify fertility and earthly wisdom, while the cherubs symbolize the spiritual aspects of existence.
Water Stream
A stream of water can be seen in the background, flowing through the fertile landscape. Water is the symbol of emotions and intuition, suggesting that the Queen of Pentacles is not only materially abundant but also emotionally rich, blending the elements of Earth and Water seamlessly in her personality.

General Overview
In its reversed position, the Queen of Pentacles suggests a misalignment or imbalance in matters related to security, nurturing, and prosperity. She becomes a figure whose focus on material and domestic spheres may have grown disproportionate or neglectful. Whereas in her upright form, she is the epitome of maternal and earthly stability, here she indicates that there may be too much emphasis on material possessions, possibly leading to neglect in emotional or spiritual aspects.
This card reversed could also indicate a misuse of resources—financial, emotional, or otherwise. You may be experiencing a period where it seems difficult to maintain a work-life balance, or you may be making sacrifices that do not yield the expected emotional or material returns.
Alternatively, this card can point towards someone in your life or even yourself displaying the negative aspects of the Queen of Pentacles: being overly materialistic, emotionally distant, or neglectful of duties and responsibilities. The reversed Queen calls for a reassessment of priorities.
