A business woman is sitting in a bar. A man comes up to her:

-Hi, there! Mind if I keep you company?

– Company? You keep companies? Are you buying or selling?

The Queen, according to the Kabbalah, is some person or object which serves as the center of attention, the focal point of power and influence. The object around which Matter or Finance "revolve".

Accordingly, the Queen of Disks is the focal point around which Matter or Finance revolve.

This center, for example, may symbolize an important object, a building, a landmark, an important customer, or a bank.

A word about how to determine the Tarot suit of the "persona":

If it makes little difference whether or not the Persona is dressed, if they attract the observer's attention with their physical body, their Material presence – most likely, this is the Queen of Disks.

If it's the Persona's charm, allure, and emotions that draw the viewer's attention – most likely, this is the Queen of Cups (Hearts).

If the Persona attracts attention with a particular concept, motto, idea, philosophy, action/statement (such as Lady Gaga's meat dress), then this is the Queen of Swords (Spades).

If the Persona draws attention with a particular trend or fashion, suggests some sort of potential, project, development path, or choice, then this is the Queen of Wands (Clubs).

That said, gender, race, biological species make no difference. Tarot Queens can symbolize both a man and a woman. As well as inanimate objects and even processes.

A claim to fame and a desire to grab attention – these are a "reversed" Five, in the aspect of the element where it's most manifested.

.

Fig. 1.12.7 Queen of Disks – a person of Finance. A wealthy, valuable client. A "money bag".122

.

Figure 1.12.8 Queen of Disks – the focal point around which Matter and Finance revolve. The New York Stock Exchange. A bank. Money, assets, everything "revolves" around them.123

.

The distinctive feature of the Queen of Disks is her V.I.P. status in Material or Financial matters. And that she serves as the focal point around which these revolve.
