The Queen of Pentacles sits on a carved throne in a lush garden, roses arching overhead and a rabbit at her feet. She holds a large coin in her lap and gazes at it with quiet care. The throne is decorated with fruit and goats, symbols of fertility and earthly abundance. Everything around her is growing, and she seems right at home in it.

She balances work and home without losing warmth. She can also represent someone generous and dependable. As a message, she asks you to care for yourself as practically as you care for others.
