Everyday meaning
A generous, practical, affectionate person able to make fertile whatever she touches; or a phase of quiet prosperity. It points to care of the home, the body and resources.

The ability to nourish concretely: affection that expresses itself in doing and providing. It asks you not to forget your own needs while you look after those of others.
Initiatic meaning
Water of Earth, the He of the final He, referred to Binah: the moisture that makes the soil fertile. She rules from 21° Sagittarius to 20° Capricorn, joining Sagittarian drive to Capricornian tenacity, like the desert that blooms after the rains.
The shadow side
Ill-dignified, she is apathetic, servile, dependent, able to lose herself in routine or materialism.

The Queen of Disks in the Thoth deck sits between an arid expanse and a river that makes it fertile, with a goat on a rock beside her and a globe of interlaced circles: matter allowing itself to be fertilised.
