Is someone around you pretending to care more than they truly do?

November 2. Today, the reversed card "Queen of Pentacles" fell out for you

The reversed Queen of Pentacles sees right behind this facade of nurturing. “You are right to suspect,” she agrees. “A certain someone is being financially or emotionally stingy and way self-centered.” And there you have it - indeed, someone around you is very conditional when it comes to their support. They are just performing care, not providing it. 

When it comes to love, the upside-down Queen of Pentacles speaks - or is it screams - of a partner whose care is contingent on what you can provide for them. They go out of their way to play a devoted partner, but their actions lack something substantial. What could it be? Well, we don’t know - genuine, selfless warmth, for instance? They make you feel more like an asset to be managed than a person to be cherished. Once you become “unprofitable” to their life, their pretended care will quickly evaporate, the reversed Queen insists. 

The revered Queen of Pentacles in career wants you to be wary of a colleague or superior who acts as a mentor only when it benefits their reputation. They offer guidance that ultimately serves their own position. They don’t shy away from taking credit for your work under the guise of "being a team." They do invest their resources, but not in your growth. They just want to maintain a system where they would feel secure and in control.

As for a yes or no, the reversed Queen of Pentacles barks a resounding “Yes! Someone’s care is not what it seems!” This card knows what it is talking about. After all, it is the embodiment of insincerity and misplaced priorities.
