Queen of Coins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen of Coins is a card used in Latin suited tarot decks. It is part of what tarot card readers call the "Minor Arcana" Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1].
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2].
[edit] Divination Usage
"Sensual and earthy, she enjoys abundance in many areas of her life. A lover of luxury, she is quick to share her wealth"[citation needed] (Hanson-Roberts 2002).
Like all court cards, the Queen of Coins, also called the Pentacles, is often interpreted to refer to a person playing some role in the life of the questioner. Queens are said to represent mother figures and adult women, or young women mature for their years; women of knowledge and wisdom. The interpreted physical characteristics of the suit of coins include dark hair and eyes, dark complexions and sturdy build.
When reversed, "This Queen neglects her responsibilities, keeping up appearances regardless of circumstances"[citation needed] (Hanson-Roberts 2002).
