The Queen of pentacles as intentions

Brendygigbear

Delving into various spreads concerning feelings, emotions, and romance, both for friends and myself, though I'm still honing my skills and mainly stick to personal readings for now.

Recently, I conducted a spread regarding a potential suitor of a workmate, who's currently just a casual friend. In the position asking about his intentions towards her, the Queen of Pentacles emerged. I'm a bit puzzled by this one. I'm leaning towards interpreting it as a symbol of building foundations due to its association with earthy Pentacles energy.

As a side note, I pulled the 5 of Swords for his feelings for her. My interpretation hints at conflicting interests or possibly dishonorable intentions, even deceitfulness. I'm attempting to link this card with the Queen of Pentacles as an outcome, considering the Pentacles' representation of material aspects, and I'm getting the sense that his motives might be solely focused on one thing.

My primary goal is to understand how these cards connect rather than viewing them in isolation, as I believe that's key to obtaining a balanced interpretation. So, when it comes to the Queen of Pentacles symbolizing his intentions, I'm still grappling with it! 😅

Deep Thought

Perched upon her throne, the queen of pentacles appears tranquil as she gazes at the pentacle resting in her lap. While she exudes contentment, her focus is on studying and pondering the pentacles, perhaps weighing an offer or decision.

Interpreting this card in terms of someone's intentions, it signifies a period of contemplation and reflection on their desires. The keyword here is "contemplating." 🤔

I perceive him as a grounded individual who's unsure about his feelings toward her. There's no overwhelming passion or emotional connection indicated by the absence of Wands or Cups. It seems he's just not moved by her at the moment. Remembering what's missing from the cards can offer valuable insights, and here, the absence of Cups and Wands tells its own story. 😊

Hey there! So, diving into spreads can be quite the journey, especially when exploring feelings and intentions. Let's unpack this together!

Starting with the Queen of Pentacles for his intentions towards her, you're on the right track with the earthy vibe. Pentacles often signify material and practical aspects of life, like stability and security. So, his intentions might revolve around building a solid foundation or providing support in some way. It could also suggest a nurturing or protective attitude towards her.

Now, onto the 5 of Swords for his feelings. This card does hint at conflict or tension, but it's important not to jump to conclusions. It could indicate internal struggles or challenges he's facing, rather than outright deceitfulness. Perhaps he's dealing with conflicting desires or external pressures.

When connecting these cards, it's about finding the balance between them. While the Queen of Pentacles suggests stability and support, the 5 of Swords adds a layer of complexity with its potential for conflict. It's like there's a mix of positive intentions with some underlying challenges or obstacles to navigate.

Ultimately, interpreting tarot is about finding the narrative that resonates most with the situation at hand. Keep exploring and trust your intuition! 🌟

Hello everyone, appreciate the feedback!

OliviaBr I understand your point. Without the Five of Swords, I might have interpreted it more positively.

Zena_Aquarte Thank you for that insight; based on my understanding of the situation, that seems like a reasonable conclusion about his intentions.

Haha, absolutely! That makes sense to me. I initially considered the Queen of Pentacles suggesting a potential for a physical connection, but with the presence of the 5 of Swords, it seems like it might be approached in a sneaky or deceptive way.

Thanks once more!

Hey there,

In my approach to reading cards (and remember, everyone has their own unique method!), how I interpret these two cards can vary depending on whether they're drawn separately or together. There's no right or wrong way to do it!

If drawn separately, the Queen of Pentacles might suggest that he wants to support her in the workplace, nurture her financial skills, and generally assist her in making money. This Queen embodies traits like caring and helpfulness.

However, when placed side by side, the interpretation might shift. Together, they could indicate a more competitive and manipulative intention on his part. The Queen's nurturing qualities might take a negative turn, appearing deceptive, greedy, or petty. Coupled with the Five of Swords, there's a sense of bullying or gossiping behavior coming into play. It's like the Earth and Air elements of these cards clash, bringing out their less favorable aspects.

It's fascinating how the context of the draw can change the interpretation, isn't it? 🤔

Interpreting Intentions

In this context, the card reflects HIS intentions towards her, rather than her inherent qualities. Queens symbolize maturity and action in a subtle, introverted manner, while Pentacles represent the physical realm, material matters, and financial values.

Based on this, his intentions likely revolve around practical aspects of life, rather than deep spirituality. He may seek qualities related to the physical world, such as someone adept with finances, and domestic skills, or someone who avoids spiritual discussions. Essentially, he seems to desire a relationship grounded in the tangible aspects of life. 🤔💼

I have a hunch, like HarperHere mentioned, that his intentions toward her are driven by what he can gain. Pentacles are all about the practical side of things—what tangible benefits can be obtained, whether it's money, sex, a job advancement, or office supplies. The Queen suggests he's particularly drawn to beautiful, luxurious things, and yes, perhaps even sex. 😏

Now, the 5 of Swords isn't just about conflict—it's about a clear victory for one party and a sore loss for the other. The question here is, how does he perceive himself in this scenario? Is he the triumphant winner or the defeated loser? If he sees himself as the winner, then we should proceed with caution. His feelings toward her might be exploitative, and his intended action could be to extract practical gains from her. However, if he sees himself as the loser, it might indicate a level of respect towards her, viewing her as someone influential and powerful, and he might fear negative consequences if he crosses her. 🤔

I lean towards the former interpretation rather than the latter, so I'd advise your friend to hold off until she knows more. It's essential to lay out the 5 of Swords and seek clarification: How does he see himself—winner or loser?

Thanks, HarperHere and AbbyDav! Gotta say, the spread I did on this one left me scratching my head a bit with how it related to the situation, but hey, it's all part of the learning process, right? Gives me something to mull over! 😄
