When I think about the Queen of Pentacles, I think of the hardcore version of this woman, who is easily found in Olan from the book The Good Earth by Pearl Buck.

Olan was highly aware of herself and her relation to her husband. She could easily be described as the Queen of Swords, but I think the fact that she was so hardcore in her duties as a help mate, this woman knew the hard realities and just dealt with it as it came.

In this sense, I take the Queen of Pentacles to mean that the answer may be true but also that you need to take responsibility of this truth and nurture it into fruition. If it does not belong in your life, you have to at least give it time to be birthed before you make a decision to keep it in your life or let it go.

I keep thinking of the RW QoP and how the pentacle she holds is like a pregnancy. It's also like a planted seed that needs the right amount of time and care before it can be fully seen as is.
