The Queen of
Disks
As the Queen of the Suit most connected to the
home environment, families, materiality and
fecundity, the woman represented by the Queen of
Disks will most likely be a person whose
attention centres upon the family environment.
Here, she will excel, gaining a great deal of
pleasure from providing a secure haven where she
and others can feel cosseted and cared for.
In modern times the qualities for which this
Queen stands have tended to be devalued and
downgraded ('I'm only a housewife'). This causes
difficulties for the woman who feels most
fulfilled expending her energies in a home
situation, working with her family and a close
circle of friends.
Yet the contribution that this sort of work
makes to the lives of anyone who comes into
contact with it cannot be underestimated. We all
want to feel welcome and warm in our own homes.
We want to feel nurtured and secure. So perhaps
it's time to re-instate the Queen of Disks to
her rightful place - Regent to the Empress, and
important to everybody. Furthermore, maybe we
need to invoke our own caring qualities more
readily so that we all pour our unique energies
into our domestic surroundings.
If the Queen of Disks is ill-dignified in a
reading, she will generally have lost sight of
her position - or, perhaps, is being taken for
granted by others. At that point the weaker side
of her personality will show through. She may
become dependent and clingy, believing herself
to be unable to stand alone. She might
manipulate by adopting a passive victim's role.
Though usually the type of woman indicated by
the Queen of Disks is a gentle soul, when
angered she can become a fierce enemy,
particularly where she sees injustice done to
her family and friends. She's loyal and willing
to help, rooted in the practical aspects of
life.
Her concept of spirituality centres on the
nourishing aspects of her personality - she is
therefor a facilitator, quietly assisting others
on their journey, though often her contribution
will go unnoticed.
She is often interested in, and involved with,
the healing arts, being a willing and generous
healer. When she is ambitious it is usually for
others, again in her facilitator role. She
maintains a strong link with Nature, loving
plants, trees and animals.
Working with the Queen of Disks
A day ruled by the Queen of Disks is one where
we need to turn our attention to the practical
roots of our security and sense of domestic
contentment. This Queen provides us with a
stable foundation from which to move forth into
the often turbulent forces of life.
When we feel safe, and at peace; when we know
our home for a haven; when we have a place to
rest and regenerate, we function much better as
human beings. We are more tolerant, less
fearful, more compassionate, less grasping.
So on one of these days, we must make a point of
doing something to love ourselves in our home
environment, and also something to make that
environment more welcoming, more attuned to our
own sense of peacefulness.
We can do this in many different ways. For
ourselves, we can take half an hour or an hour
out to do the things which make us feel at
peace. We could do some work in the garden, or
take a long relaxing bath, or cook ourselves
something special to eat, or listen to music
with a whole head, or whatever else makes us
feel gentle and timeless and happy.
For our homes, we can buy something that makes
things more comfortable, or we can re-arrange
something so it's more pleasing, or we can clean
out that cupboard that has been gathering
cobwebs for ages.
The key here is to spend time and energy both on
yourself, and your home - and to do both of
these things with the intent to harmonise more
thoroughly, to feel more rested and centred, to
make more of a haven than we already have.
Remember - our intentions, when coupled with
actions, have a powerful influence on our
environment. They create new streams of energy
which will manifest. And since the Queen of
Disks is about the home and family, and about
our view of ourselves in that environment, on
her day we must nourish those things in order to
put them in their rightful place in life.
In creating a happy environment on the physical
level, we become empowered to create a happy
environment within ourselves, too. And that's a
very nourishing experience.
