Gilded Tarot

QUEEN OF PENTACLES

A stately woman holds a pentacle with quiet pride. Her face is self-satisfied, almost (but not quite) smug. Like the Queen of Swords, she has a strong, self-contained confidence.
You have worked hard and well. You have created a life filled with physical pleasures and beauty through your skills and careful budgeting of resources. You take great pride in your practicality. People around you enjoy the fruits of your labor. And although this gives you pleasure, you get just as much satisfaction form the results of your endeavors.
Be aware of becoming fixated on end results and losing all joy in the process of creating. There is a danger of worrying about money too much. While it's wise to be careful, don't become obsessed with frugality. And don't sacrifice your spiritual, creative, and emotional life on the altar of practicality.
