The Rider-Waite-Smith Queen of Pentacles mundanely expresses her fertility, with a lush rose arbor above her Throne. The throne shows stone motifs of a goat head, acknowledging the sign of Capricorn and a bull's head implying her fecund earthly nature. With a Sun hat, veiled in greenery and clothed in the Red of the Qabalistic Mother Binah, she passively holds a golden Pentacle in her lap, implying wealth. These are not the only hints at her dynamic power, for the hare at the bottom right represents the Mother Goddess Power of the Greek goddess Hera or the European goddess Eostre, the German goddess Erda or the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar.

In the Western Hermetic Qabalistic Tarot, the authority of the Tarot Queens originates in Binah, the Third Sephiroth who is the "Will-to-Form" and is a receptive force that is imposed on the Pure Fiery Energy of Chokmah. She is known for Understanding, for an idea, once understood, can be molded into manifestation, i.e., formed.

Qabalistically, these Queens are not Persons, but States of Conscious Energy, called "Beings" (Sephiroth) in the philosophy of Qabalah and are parts of the Divine Universal Collective Unconscious, meaning the Powerful Imagination, the Creatrix, where images are formed. Images are the only way to realize these deep inner layers of Mind and "that before Mind"; Before Mind, is a "vessel" and/or womb, of magnetic energy, there was only Kether whose god name is Eheieh, a "no-thing" whose first invention of thought and/or "word of god". "Eheieh" which translated into English means, "I Will Be". You are the being/image that is fulfilling that command. Therefore, the Queens of Tarot, can represent a core personality of a Soul /Solar Psyche.

The Psyche is All that is Mind, Subconscious-Waking Conscious, and Unconscious. It is above, around, below, and inside. As a united whole this trinity of mind-scapes is our True Self who is the Sun (radiant energy) of the Divine.

Binah is the 3rd Sephiroth on the Tree of Life, in the upper part called the Supernal Triangle, she is the essence of Womb, and I often call this state of Mind a "Womb with a View", because She conceives by viewing and understanding. The True Mind (not the brain) communicates in image, not words. Therefore, your persona is an image, and not an identity of words created by "word hypnosis" of the media. The lesser ego/Devil, (Entropy in physics) is a viral program built of words, and therefore, a fantasy of Subconscious shadow identity. The use of words as identity is a product of the Entropic Shadow subconscious identity manipulation and is called "antilife"(evil).

  You are not made of words but of The Greater Understanding of the Oneself as Itself. You are made of Spirit's Will to Force and Will to Form. Hence, your presence is to "Above all things, know thyself", which requires you to tear down the Tower of Babel that are words, and see yourself through the eyes of the Great Creatrix who loved you into being as the Solar Child of the Divine Creative. You are the bright ACTION while the Shadow of Survival thinking is REACTION.

The Queens all represent the Water in each suit; therefore, the Queen of Pentacles/Queen of Earth represents Water of Primal Earth. Water being the symbol for Intuition, Emotions and Consciousness and the blood of Earth being manifestation. Queens are enthroned in the Element of Consciousness, as Will-to-Form and Enclose Energy (by realization and understanding) to bring forth the Will to Force of the King. She develops that force into information and/or in-Form-Action. As emotive consciousness does to idea. The word idea comes from Greek ἰδέα idea "form, pattern," from the root of ἰδεῖν idein, "to see" -all of which are the functions attributed to the Goddess/Creatrix.
