The Gold Foil Queen of Pentacles mundanely expresses her fertility, with a lush rose arbor above and flowers about 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. This is the persona of Gaea to the modern pagans. She is the goddess of a thousand names and here we have Earth, in all her fertility, and fecund growth. The tulips at her feet represent loving royalty. Beware: at her worst she can be untrusting and a source of some various devious plots and plans, generating bad feelings among friends and co-workers.

The Tarot of the Old Path- Queen of Pentacles, is an elegant dark beauty dressed in the Greens of the card's ruling element, earth.

Here the emerald gem that implies the earth element, is in her crown, earrings, and necklace. The leaf shaped grouping of three in her jewelry, indicate the three stages of Goddess as Maid, Mother and Crone.

In the language of flowers, the honey suckles behind her implies she is of an affectionate, devoted, and generous nature.

The spray of wheat in the foreground indicates wealth and prosperity and is associated with Demeter.

The primary meaning of this card is that of a woman who is cultured, intelligent, and elegant, whose interests lie in the arts, civic affairs, and is happily married.

. She is the cornucopia. The cornucopia is most frequently associated with the Greek goddess of the harvest, Demeter. Today, the cornucopia is used purely for Thanksgiving decorations. It continues to symbolize abundance, a bountiful harvest, and, by extension, an appreciation for both of those things.

As a personality, she is generous, has many creative talents, and is family oriented. However, her shadow side is one of distrust, insecurity, coupled with a suspicious nature.

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 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 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 Self as Life. 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 is REACTION.

The Queens all represent the Water in each suit; therefore, the Queen of Pentacles represents Water of Primal Earth. Water being the symbol for Intuition, Emotions and Consciousness and the blood of Earth Being in 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.

When thrown during a reading, the Queen of Pentacles represents an archetypal personality that is:

• A person interested in physical nutrition and health.
• A shedding of poor eating habits for those of a new diet.
• A shedding of old habits, or even the purchasing of new clothes.
• The querent does all things she can do well, and it will be fruitful
• One of an elevated level of compassion, nurturing abilities. loving physical life and all it has to offer.
• One who is exceptionally procreative and nurturing in Mothering.
• The power of practical wisdom on the physical level and in the inner world, applied spiritual wisdom.
• A dark woman of great heart and serious cast of intelligence.
• Opulence
• Generosity
• Also implies presents from a rich relative or a rich and happy marriage for a young man.
• Erda, the Teutonic Mother Earth seen as a warm and nurturing deity.

If reversed, it implies:

• Embitterment.
• Hardening.
• Infertility.
• Deviousness.
