Queen of Pentacles
MBTI: ISFJ | Astrology: Capricorn, Sagittarius | Element: Earth | Time: 12/22–1/9
A transparent water sphere floats in the morning light, like a fallen dewdrop forgotten by time. The inner wall of the sphere is covered with dense grassland, while a glowing core at its center pulses like breathing, reflecting rippling water patterns into flowing veins. The Queen of Pentacles is the condensation of the earth element. Standing in knee-deep emerald water, her white dress swirls with the current. She cradles a clay jar as if nurturing an infant. Inside it, the roots of a pomegranate tree pierce the pottery and entwine with her fingers. Three pomegranates hang like hearts, beneath their skins tiny points of light throb softly. Five clay jars rotate slowly around her. When sunlight enters the core of the water sphere, all vines suddenly accelerate in growth, piercing the watery veil and extending outward—growing, entwining, cycling, flourishing. In this moment, it becomes a small world in the process of growth.
