This card is the Queen of Jade, which corresponds to the Queen of Pentacles in the standard tarot. Here, the goddess Xochiquetzal, The Plumed Blossom, goddess of love, flowers, and the feminine arts, reigns as the Queen of Jade. This goddess is both sister and wife to Xochipilli, the Young Prince of Flowers, who is the King of Jade. However, in truth, she is simply his feminine aspect, the female part of his perfect and divine duality, and is thus in truth Xochipilli himself, just as he is her. For this reason she, like her brother/husband, are the gods of gay love, for they encompass both the male and the female within themselves Her skin is golden, like her brother's, and her face is painted with the red "jewel" glyph which is her symbol. She wears a turquoise butterfly nose ring, and her hair is tied in two knots and adorned with two sprays of precious quetzal plumes, symbolic of the divine duality which is her nature. Her head is adorned with a great quetzal head, the marvelous bird from the southern jungles which symbolizes all things precious, beautiful, and good, and from her back springs a great back-rack of yet more quetzal feathers. She contemplates a great jade in her hands, wreathed in a halo of blood and pearls, and in which she contemplates visions. She is seated in the spiraling and four colored tree of Tamoanchan, at the center of the Thirteenth Heaven, the highest and most sublime of the celestial spheres. However, twining round the base of the tree is a coral snake, symbol in the Azteca of lust and carnal pleasures, for as goddess of love, she encompasses both its mystical and bodily aspects.
This card signifies a dark woman, a sublime woman of great soul. This card signifies opulence, generosity, magnificence, and great gifts, both spiritual and carnal. Inversed, it represents evil, perfidy, misfortune, fear, and mistrust.
