A woman with a small gold crown in her dark, pinned hair sits on a black lacquered throne in a garden. Her layered robes are green and gold, patterned with leaves and vines, and she looks down at the bronze disc marked with a star resting in her lap, her hands folded around it. A white rabbit sits at her hem. Red roses bloom on one side, white flowers on the other, and overhead a maple branch drops red leaves. A lake and hills lie beyond.

In Rider–Waite–Smith tarot the Queen of Pentacles sits in a bower of roses in a fertile landscape, a pentacle in her lap and a rabbit at her feet. She is the earth's care made practical: the provider, the one who makes resources stretch and people feel held. The rabbit stands for fertility and plenty, and the autumn maple for the season when the harvest comes home.

Nurturing, generous love with its feet on the ground: comfort, meals, shelter. Let yourself receive it as well as give it.

A capable, grounded approach to work and money. Run things well, and make the place kinder while you do.
