Now, this is a lady! No ambiguity in gender in this suit, I see. Nevertheless, there is no sexualization. She seems to represent, in her body as much as the rest of it, "fertility and plenty". Her skin is pink, her eyes green, and her hair golden and flowing, with flowers (a few diamond-coins in there, I count 6 on the card) and leaves caught up in it. A fern stretches across her head to form her crown. In her right hand she holds the heart-cup, filled with fruits and diamond-coin flowers. Her left arm has a simple tattoo of the universal symbol for "female".
Again, like so many in this suit, I am left with a feeling of simplicity. Clearly this is a goddess who represents the bounty of the Earth. Clearly...?
The pamphlet states, to my surprise, that this is a Major Arcana. It represents "Fertility" and "Responsibility to Nature".
I've stared at it a bit more - I see the connection to the first thing, it was obvious enough. The second thing, I may need to meditate on more. Perhaps the fact that she isn't all that ornamented, except by the flowers - that she isn't taking more than she needs? Especially compared to the High Priestess, who was pretty much a whole building. Even so, she is still clearly a goddess. I'm going through a lot of "take no more than you need" efforts right now, personally (still trying to reduce costs and food waste) so that could be why this is the first thing that comes to mind.
Anyway, today is a stunningly beautiful day, and the garden is thriving... this card seems well aligned. I'll leave it at that :)
