Queen of Disks

 The queen of disks is such a powerful card of abundance, and it is rife with symbolism, as all cards are. Let’s take a look…



Here we see a queen, situated comfortable on her throne, surround by various signs of prosperity(gold coin/disk, fertility(rabbit), and abundance(flowering vines, grapes). This queen gazes at her disc, not only appreciative of what she has received from sharing her gifts with the world, but knowing that she will also be able to share her wealth with others in exchange for their gifts and services. Her tunic is a deep red, her robe a lush green somewhat resembling a field of rich grass, both colors of material wealth, pleasure, and prosperity. This queen delights in the richness of material experience and has put in the energy to ensure mutually beneficial exchanges will be her reward. Her throne is decorated with smiling cherubs, more fruit, and a goats head, a firm reminder that even though she has reached a place where the abundance of the universe has blessed her, she is still firmly planted on earth and grounded like a Capricorn, and like a Capricorn embodied the qualities of practicality, perserverence, tradition and determination.


Receiving the queen of disks in a reading could be a sign that you are going to be embodying this queens energy, or someone around you may be as well. What an excellent card to let you know your hard work is bound to pay off or that you will be receiving dividends on your ability to allow abundance to flow through you. It could also point to wealth coming in, often times in the form of an inheritance, dividends, a raise, or something as a result of a long term investment. Either way, she is a sure fire sign that your relationship to abundance is about to be checked.


As always, any cards around this queen, or where the card is found in a spread, can determine more in regards to how/where/when. Rarely is this a card you do not want in a reading. This divine feminine energy hits different than the divine masculine energy of the king of disks, and while they have a lot in common, the queen is the one who flows.

11: Justice

Image
The 11th card in the major arcana is Justice and within many clues are provided to its meaning and purpose in a reading.. let’s take a look.. Our initial glance at the card we sees woman dressed in red robes symbolizing connection with successfully manifesting in the material world, a crown signifying her authority both in spirit and material worlds. Justice is of course holding her scales symbolizing her part in karmic justice and the weighing of deeds, and her sword represents the clarity of vision and connection to intuition needed to weigh all things carefully. She sits on a chair between two pillars, with a red cloth hiding what is beyond her judgment. The two pillars are reminiscent of the High Priestess card, where the querent must earn the right to traverse beyond the boundaries of the known, into the realm of the teachings of the Goddess and esoteric mystery schools. The justice card is showing us that karma is coming around the corner. The law of balance and karma, what goes ...

16: The Tower

Image
The Tower card right after the Devil card always feels a little overwhelming! There is a good reason the Tower follows the Devil and why it, like the Devil is not at all as scary as it first seems to be…   On the card we see a giant tower being struck by a bolt of lightning which blows the giant crown shaped roof off of the tower and sets it ablaze. We see fire coming out from the top and the windows and a man and a woman falling out of the windows. They both have blue and red items of clothing on symbolizing material desires and intuitive connection. Their faces are filled with fear and surprise which makes sense considering the circumstance. One may ask why didn’t they just attempt to leave the tower if they had an idea a storm was coming, instead of possibly falling to their death as a result of an inevitable strike of lightning causing them to leap? If you look closely, you see there is no door on the tower. They had no way to leave, besides the window. These two built a tower ...

14: Temperance

 Major Arcana 14 is Temperance. Such a truly perfect card to come after the death card! An angel blessing us with impartial waters of life, or something else? Let’s go! There is an awful lot going on in this card but the first thing that catches our eye is this seemingly divine figure pouring water between two golden cups. Dressed in a white gown with beautiful red wings, we see a theme that repeats itself over and over in this card. White being heavenly/holy/pure and red being material/carnal/passion, we recognize this being as a balance between spiritual and material aspects of reality/existence. With one foot in the water and one on land we see the same theme, material and spiritual repeated, and we can assume from this theme the two cups passing water back and forth also have to do with the importance of existing in the material and spiritual realms. For each realm gives us different perspectives and values that must be used simultaneously for us to transcend the disconnection ...
