The Princess of Disks is Earth of Earth, the throne of the Ace of Disks and the most material card in the deck. In Golden Dawn teaching she is the point where spirit is buried deepest in matter, and so she carries the promise of its rebirth.

The Ouracle card shows a young woman in a winter grove standing over dark fertile earth, a ram at her side and a seed in her hand. In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck she appears as the Page of Pentacles, a young figure studying a coin in a green field.
