A reflective starting point
What is Princess of Disks asking you to look at?
Meaning changes with the position, the surrounding cards and your question. Take what follows as a language, not a verdict.
Upright
Guard and nourish what is growing: the promise will be fulfilled in its own time.
At first sight
A gentle, generous and concrete young person, or a phase of gestation: something precious is growing in silence. It points to studies, new occupations, pregnancies in the literal or figurative sense.
Within you
The potential preparing to be born; the patience to guard and nourish what is not yet visible, rooted in the body and the senses.
On the path
Earth of Earth, the final He of the final He, referred to Malkuth: the densest point of manifestation, where the light is most hidden and, for that very reason, closest to being reborn. Throne of the Ace of Disks, she rules the celestial quadrant of Aries, Taurus and Gemini.
The shadow
Ill-dignified, she is scattered, prodigal, lazy, a slave to the senses.
Reversed
In the Thoth tradition a reversed card is read through its dignity with the neighbouring cards; this is its shadow side.
Gestation interrupted or postponed, laziness, waste.
In love, work and spirit
Love. A relationship preparing for a concrete step; a possible wish for family.
Work. Studies, apprenticeship, a new job, projects that are ripening.
Spirit. The Daughter who will be raised to the Mother's throne: matter becoming light.

Crowley's note
The Princess of Disks in the Thoth deck is pregnant, crowned with ram's horns, with a sceptre sinking into the earth and a rose-disk: the earth heavy with hidden light.
