Queen of Pentacles

The queen of the living earth — she nurses a pentacle in her lap as if it were a child, and under her care, everything grows. Hospitality, generosity, grounded sensuality, and the quiet genius of domestic competence.

Over-giving that drains her, neglect of self while caring for everyone else, or materialism that forgets the soul. The garden needs its gardener tended too. Remember to nurse yourself.

✦ The Illustration

A throned feminine figure cradles a pentacle in her lap within a lush rose garden. A goat-head crowns her throne; a rabbit sits at her feet. Roses climb every pillar — fertility as royal office.

✦ Affirmation

“I nurture what I love and I remember to nurture myself.”
