Esoteric Foundations

The Queen of Disks is Water of Earth, the fertile soil. She rules from late Sagittarius into Capricorn, around the winter solstice, when the earth is dark but life is waiting. Binah, the Great Mother, makes her the nurturer of the material world.

The Ouracle card shows a queen enthroned where the desert turns green, a goat beside her and an oasis behind. In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck she sits in a garden holding a pentacle in her lap, with a rabbit at her feet.

Symbols and Forces

Water gives earth life. She is practical, generous, nurturing and resourceful. The goat is Capricorn, climbing patiently; the oasis is abundance created where there was little.

She knows how to make a home, a garden or a business thrive.

Myth and Context

She echoes Demeter, the grain mother, and the Hindu Annapurna, goddess of nourishment. She is the earth's quiet abundance, given freely and wisely.
