Hello hello, my darlings! I gotta say, I’m pretty proud of myself for hopping back into this and making such wonderful progress over the last few weeks. Today will be no different as we look at the second to last card in the Pentacles: the Queen.
Upright, the Queen represents prosperity and security, while also bringing a nurturing aspect to the reading. You have created or are successfully maintaining a healthy balance between home life and work life. You’ve worked hard to generate this level of financial and/or physical security, which allows you the freedom to share your wealth and abundance with those you love. Make sure to remain compassionate and practical when dealing with others and your present circumstances. Sharing with others doesn’t mean that you go without. Focus on creating a balanced life for yourself. Be resourceful and down to earth when dealing with issues as they arise. Straightforward solutions that fix the problem with minimal fuss is the key. At times she may also speak to a mother figure in your life who can provide you with loving support and nurturing to help get through the influences of your past.
When she is reversed, she encourages you to spend your generous energy and care on yourself. Trust that work and family can survive without you for a short period of time while you pay more attention to your own needs. You may be focused on working toward sustainable financial independence, but have lost the balance between work life and home life. You’re putting too much attention on one side to the detriment of the other. Sometimes you just can’t do everything and will need to make choices about where your priorities truly lie. Talk to your partner or your boss and adjust expectations as necessary so you don’t feel over-committed to one area.
While all of the Queens have a nurturing aspect, the Queen of Pentacles carries a specific air of a working parent. You are strong and capable, my darlings, but as the wheel turns, so do we too need to make sure that as we thrive, we make time for rest.
