Queen of Pentacles (Reversed) | Tarot Card

When the Queen of Pentacles appears reversed, it's time to find a calm and peaceful place within yourself.

The jittery rabbit at the top of the card represents any extraneous worries about the future that may be causing anxiety and preventing you from finding contentment in the present moment. The Queen advises against being consumed by fear and instead encourages you to remain patient, centered, and tranquil in your heart. This will allow you to observe your life with equanimity and appreciate the small blessings that surround you. It's important to go beyond the fretful antics of the worrying rabbit and find your inner calm.

Today, the Queen of Pentacles calls for a reassessment of how you manage your inner peace and handle anxieties. This card serves as a gentle reminder to take care of your mental and emotional well-being, emphasizing the need to cultivate inner tranquility amidst external chaos. It suggests that now is the time to turn your attention inward, nurturing a sense of calm and stability in your heart. This involves stepping back from the hustle and bustle of daily life to reconnect with your inner self. The Queen advises practicing mindfulness and grounding techniques, such as meditation or spending time in nature, to restore balance and harmony within. She represents the nurturing aspect of your personality, urging you to show compassion and kindness to yourself, especially in times of stress or uncertainty.

This card also highlights the importance of setting healthy boundaries to protect your peace of mind. By fostering a serene inner environment, you're better equipped to handle life's challenges with grace and resilience. Remember, true contentment and stability begin within, and it's from this place of inner strength that you can best navigate the world around you.

Are you constantly striving for more, thinking that happiness will come once you achieve a certain goal?

Do you push yourself too hard and not allow yourself to enjoy the fruits of your labor? Do you tell yourself, "I'll be happy once I finally achieve X, or get Y.”? Do you race through time not acknowledging even small achievements you make? Are you sometimes a cruel task master to yourself? (You don't get to enjoy anything until you finish this!)

The Queen of Pentacles reminds you to ground yourself in the abundance of the present. Acknowledge the warmth of your home, the good meal you are eating, your time with loved ones, the beauty of the raindrops misting outside. Look at life with content eyes. Look at all this beauty!

In the foreground of the card (in the right- hand corner) is the Queen's pet rabbit. Rabbits are symbols of fertility (hence the Easter Bunny and the budding of Spring). They were also believed to bring good luck. (Remember those ghastly carnival rabbit’s feet in the 1980's?)

An old teacher of mine used to say, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." If you are preparing the way for future success, all you need to do is look out for the opportunity, then move toward it as swiftly as the rabbit when it arises. Rabbits are also symbolic of nervous energy. This reminds us that we must still act toward our dreams even if we are afraid.

The Queen of Pentacles' garden is growing in perfect timing but requires loving patience and a peaceful environment; mentally and physically.

The garden will continue to steadily grow whether or not one worries about every future detail or potential calamity. Fear and worry kill joy and peace in the present. Anxiety wastes personal power and quickly depletes hope and energy.  Today, emulate the wise and patient Queen. Find your calm. Find your center. Reassure the nervous rabbit within. The Queen knows that she has meticulously prepared her garden. Now all that is needed is to sit back and enjoy it while it grows. Stop worrying about the future! Relax. The blossoms are still opening whether you worry about them or not.
