"Nurturing Abundance isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A woman sitting in a garden, staring down at her pentacle. Pentacles represent wealth and queen cards represent nurturing, femininity, and are often a motherly figure. This card represents the wealth and energy that is required to build a comfortable, secure space for yourself and others.
You have a figure in your life who represents wealth and prosperity and hard work (perhaps that figure is you yourself). They are generous with their resources and want to help others. Romantically the queen can mean you are in a place to start a family or settle down. This card may be an opportunity for you to parent your parents and help them with the resources they need as they age.
You have achieved a wealth an prosperity that feels hollow. Instead of feeling generous and nurturing you feel like you are fighting to stay afloat. Maybe someone in your life has used money to emotionally manipulate you. Either way, connect to what you need to feel abundant in life and try to build yourself into the true Queen of Pentacles.

Queen of Pentacles for Leo in Self and Identity
The Creator
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Queen of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn and Leo are quincunx, two signs with nothing in common: no shared element, mode, or polarity. This card will not slot neatly into how Leo already operates. What it wants is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. It has to be done deliberately or it will not happen. Upright, this is the element held internally, by someone with nothing left to prove about it.
When reading about yourself through a Leo lens, the Queen of Pentacles says that you feel like your image is the thing you are always refining, something that could always be more impressive (or more real), and the constant distance between who you are and who you appear. This has either built genuine self-awareness through the practice of refinement, or left you exhausted from maintaining two different people. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Leo blind spot in it is being ordinary, being forgotten, being the one no one thought to invite, being seen doing something mediocre.
In practice that can look like a routine that finally sticks, or the body asking for the basics. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
