The Princess of Coins is pregnant, although this is by no means necessarily a concrete fact of life for the querent. This card, however, is certainly pregnant with possibilities for the future. It does tend to suggest that most things - especially important plans for the future - will take their time in coming to fruition. Things cannot be hurried with this card; like bulbs left in the dark to germinate, things have to be allowed to develop naturally, and at their own pace. Now the rhythms of nature and of instinct must take precedence over human-made structures such as timetables. All this is emphasised by the details of the trees and the plants shown in the background, which are in full flower. These are a reminder that, however slow the wheels of motion might be, once set, the harvest of the consequences to come must inevitably follow.

In personal terms, therefore, this card describes a planner. This character usually has a long-term strategy towards which to aim, while her ideas might ripen and come to fruition. As such, the Princess of Coins may be seen to have much in common with the Empress; the former, however, tends to bring her energy to bear on more immediate and concretely personal issues than does the latter. Only on certain occasions may this card indicate a very real impulse towards nest-building or fertility on the part of the querent or on the part of someone who may be strongly implicated in the querent's life.

In fact, there also seems to be a very Virgoan connotation to this card's overall meaning, something which may well give the Princess of Coins a very self-contained quality. She may also have a very lively mind and sharp powers of discrimination and discernment, which is suggested in the drawing by the brightness of her clothes and the border. This Princess, however, still appears to be rooted to the spot, suggesting that her feet remain very firmly on the ground, notwithstanding a nimble intellect.

She may prefer to rely on herself and her long-term plans, not afraid to say "no" to friends and partners who do not measure up to her standards. Ultimately, the birth she awaits may, in fact, be the birth of her own self, with all its possibilities realised in the light of day.
