Step 6: Queen of Pentacles (RWS)
6.1.1:
Pentacles: material pleasures, wisdom, abundance (on a broader scale)
Cups: emotions, desiring change and/or exploration, holding on
Swords: aggression, stealth, travel
Wands: stubborn, movement, planning,
6.1.2:
The card that I have selected for this study is the Queen of Pentacles and on a broader scale I see the following qualities inherent in this card - application of self, abundance, far sightedness, wisdom
6.2.1:
Some of the keywords for the different modes that struck me are as below-
Court cards: people indulging in thought/action, defines maturity, defines circumstances that the querent may be in and his thought processes, are basically about “Who”
Minor Arcana number cards (2-10): events in querent’s control, speak of actions the querent indulges in/should indulge/shouldn’t indulge, apeak about “How” to go about, attitude, mental state, emotions, equation with the surroundings
Major Arcana: events not in control of querent, universe inmotion, message from universe about what’s in your favor and what’s not, rich and pregnant with messages, provides answer for almost all “Whys”
Aces: beginnings, endings, wisdom, state of mind, abundance of element representing the respective suit, gift from universe
6.2.2:
As I have already mentioned, the card that I have been working on is the Queen of Pentacles. Considering that this is a card from the Pentacle suit and a court card to top it all up, this card basically represents the Earth energy. As is evident from the card, the image exudes abundance, while at the same time a wisdom that accompanies this abundance, and hence supports the abundance as being deserving. Richness of the image is very much evident and so is the effort to maintain it.
