The Nurturer
Empathetic, helpful, warm, sensitive, nurturing, considerate, loyal, selfless.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi
Accessibility practical abundance, work home well-being balance
Overview
Symbolism
A nurturing queen sits in a lush garden throne surrounded by flowers, rabbits (fertility), and fruit. She holds a pentacle gently; the scene conveys abundance, sensuality, generosity, practical care, and connection to nature/body.
Characteristics
Generous, realistic, and good natured, this queen has nothing but good intentions for you. The life she surrounds herself with is full of luxury and she wants to share with you all that she has obtained. Everything in her world in beautiful, especially her soul. There is something aesthetic about her appearance but when you see her soul, she is an enigma. The energy she puts out is stable, consistent and alluring; as if God couldn’t even move her.
Being overly realistic and be jading, every dream she’s ever had has been practical and calculated. There is a deep fear of lack of stability in her heart. All the work she does on the material plane is to make sure she never has to fear for her security. She’ll never go for more than she means, and she is a work horse if you’ve ever seen one. This can be because of an attachment to the power that comes from wealth and desires the social status. Some of the things she has is strictly for bragging right for having been able to afford such luxuries.
Meaning
After much hard work and labor, you have come to finally find the success in your endeavor. It is increasing your social status, as well as your resources. While you should still be cautious in your dealings, you are on your way up and experiencing that success. Start finding balance between your ambitions and your personal time.
Others may try to take advantage of your increased generosity right now, and you should be skeptical and practical in the way you give to others. You are in a place in life right now where you can nurture, love and support others freely. Any issues that come to you will have simple solutions, and they are the best way to quick resolution.
The Queen of Pentacles Reversed
“Frugality, I’ve learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes lasts forever.”
― Nicholas Sparks,
Over giving, neglecting work or caretaking, draining vitality
Meaning
Over giving
This queen empties every pocket for anything. While you may think this is a fantastic quality of a friend, it’s to their own detriment. They love to be the person to provide, so much so that they fail to provide for their own basic needs.
Neglect
This is also a card symbolic of something needing attention. The Queen, whether you or someone else— is so self-involved that it goes unchecked
Work
The papers are stacked higher than the ceiling, but the Queen is draped over their throne fast asleep. Perhaps it’s burnout, but they do this everyday. They’ve been saying “I’ll do it when I wake up” for no short of 3 weeks now.
Others
The Queen prefers wine and socializing over actually taking care of their family or responsibilities within that unit. They are frequently neglectful. When the children run up to show them their masterpieces, they’re ushered away instead of acknowledged even in the slightest.
Draining Vitality
The good old days, when the Queen of pentacles was known for their beauty and wealth across all dimensions of their existence. Where did the time go? Life has slowly drained the glow from their skin, and shot the light from their eyes.
Gold Digger
Just as her King is materially obsessive, this Queen is equivocally so. Their union isn’t one of love and tenderness, it’s wretched with greed and status. They don’t go to bed happy, nor do they spend more time with one another than they need to. Simply miserable.
