Theupright queen of pentacles signifies someone down-to-earth, who takes responsibility for many roles in the care for her family. Representing a mature female or feminine presence, the receiver of the upright queen of pentacles has central focus on childcare and wellbeing. However, the Queen of Pentacles should not be mistaken as only a homebody andhousewife. She has the ability to execute effective business strategies under tight time constraints. The Queen of Pentacles works her magic in the background, as she remains quiet about her accomplishments. Lastly, she desires a simple andminimalist lifestyle--she loves to be calculated, careful and vigilant.
The reversed queen of pentacles can become unattached from reality, leaving her completelyself-centered. Some of her traits include being selfish and jealous when others show greater success. For the card drawer, the Queen of Pentacles indicates misplaced priorities and distractions from long-term goals. This card also indicates that those in the beholder's care are ready to be independent and responsible for their own lives. The beholder has reached a rewarding point where their loved ones are strong enough to make their own decisions. In order to return to her upright state, the queen of pentacles needs to become grounded again.[3][4][5]
