Symbolism of the card

A queen sits on a stone throne carved with goat heads, fruit and cherubs, in a lush garden. She holds a large pentacle in her lap with both hands and looks down at it tenderly. Roses climb above her, flowers bloom at her feet, and a small rabbit sits in the grass in the corner. Behind her are green trees, a blue river and mountains.

The goat heads link her to Capricorn and to the patience of earth. The fruit and roses are fertility, abundance and beauty. The pentacle held in her lap is wealth she cherishes and uses to care for others. The rabbit is fertility and a home full of life. She is both generous and sensible.
