Queen of Cups when asked what not to do. Queen of Cups - meaning and interpretation of the card

Traditionally, like all figured Arcana, this card is interpreted in the layout primarily as an indication of a certain person, “coded” as the Queen of Cups. As a rule, this is a woman - sensual, kind-hearted, intuitive, artistic, creative, soft and gentle. She is kind, ready to help and can give wise advice in matters of the heart (and not only, she has good intuition in general). You can feel comfortable and safe with her. She is good. She differs from the Empress and other queens in that she is much more in the clouds and much less distinct and structured in her manifestations. She is completely filled with spirituality, most of all manifested in spiritual (and sometimes fantasy, serving as material for creativity) relationships, which she is usually absorbed in.

Traditionally, the Queen of Cups is the significator of a loving woman or a woman for whom the querent feels love. The lasso can also indicate a man, but in this case the cards want to convey that this is a person of the “Lunar-Venusian” type - gentle, sincere, affectionate, vulnerable, perhaps overly emotional, living not with the mind, but with feeling, trusting his intuition. He can act as a “vest” in which it is good to cry and confess (for a woman, this is a type of gay best friend, although this meaning is not at all necessary). This is a person who is ready to help. Traditional interpretation: a person who will provide invaluable service to the questioner.

Outside of personal interpretations, it is believed that the presence of this card in the layout emphasizes the significance of the neighboring Major Arcana. And if this is another “female” Arcana, say, the Moon or Strength, then its role is noticeably enhanced.

She also indicates that the emotions associated with subsequent cards have already arisen and come into play (there is a fairly vivid emotional reaction, “experiences”).

Given the situation, the Queen of Cups gives a favorable forecast for the future, but you should not count on too significant results. What you have achieved will bring a lot of joy and pleasure, but for more serious success you will have to work hard. However, surrounding cards may also indicate the potential for making dreams come true.

The presence of the Queen of Cups in the reading gives reason to believe that in this situation you can feel safe and confident, there are no hidden traps or secret enemies. This card emphasizes a peaceful and harmonious environment, comfort and security. It can also express the need for understanding and love, being influenced by feelings, and susceptibility to outside influence.

A blissfully contemplative and non-business attitude, having your head in the clouds at the mercy of moods (and sometimes feelings), staying in contact with your inner world, following your inner rhythm. Escapism, escape from harsh reality in subtle world mysticism, mysteries, creativity. In essence, this is a state of peace, expectation, thoughtfulness, listening to oneself, readiness to meet the unconscious, to internal discoveries. Daydreaming, a tendency to fantasize and make prophecies such as prophetic dreams, insightful guesses. A state in which feelings and intuitive perceptions clearly become more subtle. For a woman this is more natural, but for a man this condition may seem uncomfortable, and the more rational and inclined he is to make tough decisions, the sooner he will define this condition as weakness. This card brings the gift of clairvoyance and love, and a touch of the mystical side of life. But adapting to all these phenomena (love, clairvoyance and subtle adjustments) is a separate task. For some, they are as natural as breathing, but for others they become a real test (although, in general, the Queen of Cups is a card of spiritual well-being, and a person is ready to follow his feelings according to it).

Rich imagination, meditative states, contemplation of real images of the collective unconscious in the mirror of the soul, boundless mediumistic fantasies. The desire to experience the fullness of inner feelings, a feeling of immersion, peace and happiness, the opportunity to relax, feel rest and contemplative comfort in safety. Creative leave to solve spiritual problems.

The Queen of Cups describes a person endowed with a strong ability for empathy, feeling for others, and the subtlety of intuitive understanding. With almost mediumistic insight, he or she captures the most secret feelings, desires, fears, hidden pain of another person. His own emotional reactions serve as a guide for him in the world of undercurrents, but sometimes this guide leads into jungles and swamps from which it is difficult to get out. The Queen of Cups easily identifies with other people's moods, catches the projections of other people, reflecting their unconscious needs and taking almost any form. If desired, she easily establishes a connection, sometimes without knowing why she does it (in the sense of why to her she needs it, it’s enough for her that someone else needs it). The Queen of Cups does not have much of her own individual beginning. If it were pronounced, it would prevent her from being perfectly attuned to another. At the same time, she prefers to communicate one-on-one rather than with a group of people, where she loses her mediumistic power, because it is not possible to connect to everyone at the same time, and “to everyone” (that is, to a group) is not her genre . She guesses and reads individually who is next to her, penetrating the unconscious of another person and living it through her own experience. You can project the desired image onto her and see it long and persistently, because her real personality is so unsteady that it is not any tangible obstacle (then, of course, it may turn out that this personality still exists, but the hero will not consider it anything, except for a woman’s whim, and here the Queen will have a very difficult time). The hero willingly projects his Anima onto her and remains in the enchanted kingdom alone with his own soul, forgetting about his exploits (in contrast, the Queen of Wands projects her Animus onto the hero and literally pushes him towards his exploits, awakening him from sleep).

The Queen of Cups has a sweet, friendly, romantic and gentle personality. This person is loved and adored, most likely by many, he has a bewitching charm. He can be shy and trusting at the same time. He is characterized by an aesthetic sense and refined taste. Most likely, this is a woman (in the latter case, she is a wonderful mother and loving wife). This card can also indicate a very good friend, regardless of gender. Traditionally it is believed that this is the significator of the Libra or Aquarius woman, but from a modern point of view it is more likely to be a water sign than an air sign. She is kind, warm-hearted, poetic, soft, sympathetic. The traditional description of the Queen of Cups is simply touching: “a seductive blonde in the grip of dreams.” It also strongly emphasizes honesty, decency and virtue

The Queen of Cups is the image of a woman who is usually called “emotional.” She usually tends to exaggerate the merits of the people around her, idealize, fantasize, and get carried away. Listening to her talk about another person, it is impossible not to be amazed - where did she see all this? She does not judge, but not out of diplomacy, but out of kindness; she may point blank not see the shortcomings of those she cares about and for whom she creates the most harmonious environment, if not in everyday life, then at least in the emotional sense. The mood swings to which she is subject are unpredictable both for herself and for others, and she is reproached for absent-mindedness and self-indulgence. She follows her feelings. She may be indiscriminate in her choice of partners - it is difficult for her to push someone away, she tends to consider people better than they are, and sometimes pays for it (in extreme cases, declaring with tears that she is “a rag that they wiped their feet on”). She heals by sacrificing herself. Otherwise, she herself may seem flighty and unreliable. In any case, she is affectionate and ready to open her heart and door to someone who needs warmth and love, without thinking too carefully about the question of whether he is worthy of it (or rather, without raising the question at all So). It is important to understand that this very creative woman is driven primarily by the need to erase obstacles, expand boundaries, blur the line between what is and what there must be from the point of view of a loving heart. This can be called dreams, illusions and fantasies, but it is also the wisdom of the heart, its devotion to its own intuitive knowledge of how wonderful people should be, how wonderful the love between them should be. She is driven, perhaps in addition to her consciousness, by this inner light, this mystical vision. Whoever knows the same will never throw a stone at her.

The path through water cleanses and renews the soul, making it thinner and more sensitive. This card embodies the power of Mah, the Moon, the feminine aspect of the element of water, symbolizes healing, strengthening power, as well as a look inside oneself, immersion in the deep layers of the soul. Thus, she controls the unconscious forces of the soul. This is a fairy and wise sorceress who lives inside us, a soothsayer who interprets our dreams, a clairvoyant who helps us find our way in the fog. It is sometimes called the “dark card” because the origins of its wisdom are hidden and cannot be known through rational thinking; this brings the Queen of Cups closer to the Moon and the Priestess. She is also called “the mother of inner secrets” (the fact that the Cup has a lid hints at understatement, elusiveness, secrecy). The bowl that the Queen holds in her hands is an instrument of meditation and magical vision of images of the past and future. She also perfectly embodies the mother of our inner child. The Queen of Cups can describe a caring person who supports development in every way - telling fairy tales, taking people to theaters, teaching them to draw or play music, and taking them on trips. His perception of his pet is always somewhat idealized, but the pet truly loves him and accepts him as he is.

The Queen of Cups is a muse who intuitively senses what abilities, dreams, desires and talents lie in the other person next to her. Her sensitivity and sympathy make you open up next to her.

If the Queen of Pentacles is the earthly hypostasis of Mother Nature, then the Queen of Cups is Anima Mundi, the Soul of the World. The image of a shell often symbolizes the genitals, it is also a symbol of resurrection and is often one of the attributes of the Virgin Mary. The island where the Queen of Cups lives is a symbol of Avalon, a supernatural place unattainable in everyday reality. Her huge goblet is decorated with crayfish claws, hinting that it is not so easy to escape from her witchcraft kingdom and the hero always retains a tendency to return to her (Cancer symbolizes the reverse movement). At the same time, the claws resemble the astrological signs of the White and Black Moon (Selene and Lilith, respectively). The first is responsible for the devotion of the heart, sacrificial love that does not seek its own, practically on angelic vibrations, and the second is responsible for compulsions, obsession, inability to free oneself, quirks, susceptibility to jealousy and similar low-frequency impulses. Well, a journey into the inner world brings more than just pleasant surprises. Subconscious impulses and desires may turn out to be dark, but interest, observation and a “motherly” attitude towards them can come to the rescue (after all, they are also “children” of the psyche, symbolized by Water).

The Queen of Cups embodies the mystery of spirituality and sensuality at the same time, the readiness to perceive and surrender, to seduce and heal. This is a person whose expectations and hopes come true. He has not yet realized this, he is not sure of success, but feelings overtake consciousness, and he feels harmony with the world around him, the fullness of being. The true meaning of the concepts of “love” and “happiness” is revealed to him.

It can mean brilliant intuition, hence the success of the planned business. Self-moralization in creative professions, activities related to imagination, aesthetics - music, poetry, writing, theater, cinema, the leisure and entertainment industry. This could be work that helps people find peace and restore physical and mental balance - psychology, social assistance, healing, meditation, SPA, as well as “spa for the soul” - all sorts of creative clubs, hobby classes related mainly to creativity or eoteric. Sometimes this is literally working with women, in a women's medical or psychological consultation, in a department of a store selling specifically women's products, etc.

Sabbatical.

According to the Queen of Cups, it is undoubtedly not easy to “stand your ground” in protecting business interests, but at the same time it promotes negotiations, compromises and peaceful solutions to problems. Troubling business and professional situations on this card are usually resolved with little bloodshed. As a minus, it can mean the shapelessness of plans, the uncertainty of practical actions and the tendency to follow the path of least resistance.

Advice: develop in yourself all the best feminine qualities (regardless of your own gender) - sensitivity to the needs of the surrounding world, intuition and gentleness, trust and compassion. It’s time to surrender to love, sensuality, creativity, poetic visions, to be sincere in your feelings and enjoy the situation without the thought that something is threatening. There are no hidden traps, unexpected enemies. You can trust and feel at home.

Warning: don't have your head in the clouds.

An environment in which the questioner feels safe, comfortable, calm, protected. A flexible and rather intuitive rather than rational and practical solution to financial issues (and with what success other cards will tell you). The Queen of Cups can be a little naive and otherworldly, and she usually needs an assistant in financial matters.

The Queen of Cups is considered a card of boundless love, unconditional acceptance. She describes the condition loving person, very attentive to others. She is in charge of subtle feelings, eroticism, trust, as well as mercy and compassion.

A wise choice in your personal life, prompted by your heart.

A gentle and attractive woman (usually), a very good friend. Loving virtuous wife, wonderful devoted friend (for a man - a promise true love), a good mother. How a relative can give wise advice in matters of the heart. For a woman, this is either a friend or (rarely) an honest rival.

In books you can find an indication that the Queen of Cups speaks of an emerging feeling of affection, when everything is still quite vague and uncertain, but according to our observations we are talking about much more formed and deep feelings. This is a complete understanding and a strong desire to be together, sincerity and eroticism, an irresistible thirst for merging and unity with another person.

Because the very essence of the Queen of Cups has direct relation to love, additional information can be found in the “Personal State” section.

Water metabolism disorders, swelling, sometimes poisoning, intoxication. The card may indicate psychosomatic disorders, the causes of which lie in the area of ​​emotions, and energy infections (“drawn over” the illnesses of others). Rarely - sexually transmitted diseases.

It is also a significator of unconsciousness, fainting.

If in her natural state the Queen of Cups is a devoted woman, a warm-hearted wife and a wonderful mother, then in an inverted state she becomes closer to the mode of a reveler, a hysteric and a brawler. This is a vicious, dishonest, spoiled, depraved, unscrupulous woman, as the ancient interpreters report. Guggenheim puts it more mildly: “a lady with an unstable psyche, running away from her problems into an illusory world.” She has her own reality. If she usually gravitates towards harmony, mutual understanding and a family hearth, then alcohol, drugs and promiscuous relationships can manifest themselves as artificial searches for inspiration and harmony (a woman may well belong to a bohemian, be an actress, sing, dance... “scribble, smear, strum"). Sometimes this is calibration by psychological trainings and books “how to become happy” to a state of permanent psychosis.

As Mary Greer writes, in Victorian literature it is a woman seduced and abandoned by a demonic lover who commits suicide by throwing herself into the sea. There she turns into a mermaid, an insidious siren, who in turn seduces and lures into the disastrous abyss. An important motive here is self-pity and a vampiric approach to reality: at first she gave more than she should have, now she is ready to take much more than necessary. Perhaps, the image of Anna Karenina in all its dynamics is very consistent with the inverted Queen of Cups (one of the ancient definitions of this card is “a married woman of high social rank, offering her love to the questioner”).

The inversion of the Queen of Cups does not automatically turn her into the Queen of Swords, and one should not attribute qualities such as harshness and rigidity, composure and denial of emotions, overcoming illusions and stopping manipulation. Here, a deeply emotionally determined combination of alienation and stickiness, blurring of boundaries, touchiness, blaming others, throwing around, in a word, other vibrations that have little in common with the Queen of Swords are triggered.

The following remark is also interesting: “The habit of spiritually merging with the object of one’s desires can lead to the body being “empty”, and the free space will quickly be inhabited by completely foreign entities.” From a magical point of view, this card can speak of an astral marriage with a more or less benevolent spirit, a daimon. In the highest sense, this is a deep faith that requires the sacrifice of personal feelings.

The inverted Queen of Cups may indicate that the feelings indicated by the content of subsequent cards have not yet manifested themselves, have not been realized, or they are simply not adequate to what is happening (so sometimes great love begins with a scandal, and future close friends meet after quarreling).

Among the traditional situational meanings are scandal, a dubious matter. Dishonesty, unreliability. Illusions, wishful thinking. Imaginary feelings, groundless fears. A person who should not be trusted and certainly not worth confessing and pouring out his soul, since his moral principles leave much to be desired. The desire to interfere in other people's affairs. Tendency to forbidden techniques, vile methods, blackmail, deep dishonesty. Begging.

With the Ace of Cups - a friend met at a feast, on a party.

Reversed with the Two of Cups (for a man) - marriage, (for a girl) jealousy.

DESCRIPTION: A beautiful woman, the Queen of the Water Thrones, intuitively tries to determine the contents of a closed goblet, the handles of which are made in the shape of angels. The lid of the goblet conceals its contents, indicating that many of the Queen's creative impulses are unconscious. Her throne is decorated with water nymphs and rests on a seashore covered with pebbles. Elements: Water-Water.

EXPLANATION: The Queen is lost in daydreams and relies more on her imagination than her common sense. Pulling this card indicates that emotions are currently playing an important role in your life and perhaps the degree of your personal relationships is very high. You are a loving, gentle person. Your experience is useful to others and your opinion is valued. However, you often get lost in your thoughts.

MEANING OF THE REVERSED CARD: You are willful, bitter and prone to exaggeration. If you are called upon to help others, you will not be very reliable or level-headed enough.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT LESSON: Insight comes from within, and it is important to remain open to receiving inspiration from a deeper source. However, you should be discerning so that you are not distracted by unrealistic desires.

(N. Drewry “Tarot. Step by step guide on studying")

The Queen of Cups, personifying the feminine aspect of the element of water, means subtlety of feelings, empathy, imaginative thinking and readiness for self-sacrifice, symbolizes healing, strengthening power, as well as a look inside oneself. Thus, she controls the unconscious forces of the soul. This is a fairy and wise sorceress who lives inside us, a soothsayer who interprets our dreams, a clairvoyant who helps us find our way in the fog. It is sometimes called the “dark map” because the origins of its wisdom are hidden and cannot be known through rational thinking.

JOB: Here this card means a period of peace, waiting, when we listen to ourselves in order to grasp the further direction of professional development. Or turning our talent to think in images into a profession: cinema, television, radio, writing, journalism, sometimes esotericism, occultism, quite often art, mainly music.

CONSCIOUSNESS: Our consciousness is tuned to perceive images of the subconscious, reflecting both our desires and premonitions, as well as our fears and nightmares. These images can become a source of inspiration, much needed in artistic creativity. On a deeper level, the card may indicate that we are approaching the restoration of the integrity of our “dark side”, which is described by C. G. Jung in his famous book “Dream Symbols in the Process of Individuation.”

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: A period of subtle, mysterious and sensual intimacy, complete mutual trust and attention to each other. Or - an indication of our need for this, the need for a loved one.

General description of the card, plot and meaning in the layout

When starting a conversation about the meaning of the Queen of Cups Tarot, it is worth taking a closer look at the illustration of the Waite deck. On it we see a beautiful, mature woman sitting on a throne decorated with figurines of mermaid angels. The throne stands at the very edge of the pond. A woman holds a golden cup in her hands. The picture immediately shows the influence of the water element, which is associated with sensory perception and the world of emotions. The elemental correspondence of the card is Water of Water, i.e. the most complete manifestation of this element.

The meaning of the reversed Queen of Cups Tarot becomes much more unpleasant. Sensuality of perception and emotionality begin to be expressed in scandalousness, touchiness, and flight after illusions. Here there may already be promiscuous relationships, drugs, alcohol, nervous breakdowns, or excessive passion for psychological training, leading to a complete crisis. It is important to understand that the reverse Queen of Cups does not at all turn into the Queen of Swords, as many people think, therefore such qualities as cruelty, composure and harshness should not be attributed to her. We can say that the reversed Queen of Cups is a woman who fell into the snare of a demonic partner, and when he abandoned her, she decided to commit suicide.

To better understand the symbolic field of the Arcana, try to analyze the meaning of the Queen of Cups Tarot as the Card of the Day. Look at what the Water Lady will point to - a specific person or circumstances?

For centuries, people have been using the Tarot to discover the unknown. Today anyone can ask a question to the ancient deck. To do this, it is enough to be able to interpret Tarot symbols. But it is important not only to understand the meaning of the major arcana, but also to know the interpretation of the minor ones. For example, Queen of Cups. It is in the group of court arcana and can mean both emotions and a specific personality.

Characteristics of the suit of cups

The entire Tarot deck is divided into two groups. The first contains the major arcana, and the second is called the minor secret deck. It includes four suits, each of which is responsible for a specific area of ​​life. Any of the suits, laid out in a row, symbolizes a person’s life path. It begins with small and insignificant acts and ends with significant events.

The suit of cups is responsible for the emotional side of life and relationships. Contacts between a person’s inner world and the outside are determined by this symbol.

Cups belong to the element of Water, therefore in the zodiac series the suit is identified with water signs. These are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. In some interpretations, the symbols of cups are usually interpreted as representatives of these signs.

Drawing a parallel with a playing deck, cups are usually compared to worms, which also reflect the emotional side of the issue. They are responsible for love, its absence or manifestation. The suit is often called cups, glasses, hearts.

Description of the Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups is usually identified with the Queen of Hearts. This card is often called the Queen of Tarot Cups. Its meaning is quite easy to read in the image of the symbol itself. The card shows a woman sitting on a throne. Its pedestal is roughly hewn from stone. The Lady holds a closed cup in her hands. Her gaze is directed at him. A river flows at the foot of the throne. Using this symbol, a parallel is drawn with the element of Water, which is responsible for feelings and emotions. The sky above the character's head is cloudless.

The Queen of Cups is feminine. She personifies love in its most sincere manifestation. The cup in the hands symbolizes aspirations and hopes that are definitely destined to come true. This drawing symbolizes the harmony of the inner world with the outside world. The woman is peaceful and calm.

It means a map and intuitive thinking, which is also attributed to the feminine principle. The feelings of the person who received this symbol in the reading speak louder than the voice of reason. By the interpretation of fortune telling, you can determine whether it brings benefit or harm.

The closed cup also symbolizes creative impulses, many of which remain unconscious. The Queen tries to guess the contents of the cup, which represents self-knowledge and the ability to act by turning to her inner voice. But the cup also indicates excessive attention to intuition and a reluctance to hear the voice of reason.

The meaning of the minor arcana

Any card of cups, including the Queen, personifies the emotional side of the issue. With the help of these cards, Tarot describes a person’s feelings and desires. The deck indicates hidden aspects. They are intangible, but significant.

The correct location of the Lady

In the interpretation of a specific symbol highest value has its orientation. Its interpretation depends on whether the card fell in the correct or inverted position.

The meaning of the Queen of Cups in the correct position:

In the correct orientation, the card symbolizes the depth of feelings and maturity of emotions. She personifies wisdom and harmony of the inner world. The person who received this symbol has well-developed intuition and instinct. The Queen of Glasses demonstrates the true meaning of love, happiness and peace of mind.

Often, court arcana mean a specific person in the life of the questioner. The Queen of Cups indicates a middle-aged woman. She is certainly talented and enjoys success with the opposite sex. If the querent finds it difficult to determine the person, then the choice of the fortuneteller will concern the zodiac signs of the Water triad.

When determining personality, the significance of neighboring lasso will be important. For example, the Priestess next door indicates a woman with psychic abilities. The Hierophant is interpreted as a person with intense spiritual development.

Interpretation of an inverted symbol

In the wrong position, the symbol takes on a slightly different meaning. The interpretation is not categorically negative, but has a warning meaning. Brief meaning inverted Queen of Cups:

The reversed Queen of Cups is a symbol of using intuition in the wrong direction. The symbol represents stubbornness, willfulness and going to extremes. The selflessness of love is lost. There is no more space and devotion. The card symbolizes imbalance. Plans may be disrupted, as well as unexpected news.

Interpretation in personality analysis

The card describes a strong character. Most likely this is a woman. If the question concerns age, then the Tarot indicates 40-45 years, although these limits can shift depending on the spiritual state of the individual. A woman either belongs to high society or has achieved fulfillment in life. She is successful, her condition satisfies her.

It is possible that the card indicates a person who is creative or endowed with multiple talents. This is not necessarily fine art. There is also acting talent. If the card is reversed, it may be hypocrisy and pretense.

Question about career and finances

In fortune telling for professional activities, the Queen of Glasses card can have a variety of meanings. It should be interpreted by referring to the orientation of the symbol.

Correct and incorrect orientation

The Right Queen describes activities where a person feels harmony and calm. This could be a job that involves creativity or requires an intuitive approach. This activity completely satisfies the querent, because the deck’s response is positive. There is also inspiration that accompanies work. This meaning is enhanced by the Sun next to the card.

The Queen of Cups indicates that a person is interested in work not only financially, but also morally. Tarot advises avoiding haste and impulsive decisions. Think carefully about every step and do not forget about your intuition.

In the wrong position, the Queen of Cups indicates unpromising activity. It also symbolizes ostentatious conceit and unwillingness to take into account the opinions of others. The law is also on the sidelines, which may have negative consequences in the future.

In the personality description, the card indicates a character who is petty and quarrelsome. Gossip and intrigue revolve around him. This sign also represents an ill-wisher or competitor. The alignment where the incorrect Queen is paired with the Moon receives a particularly negative interpretation. This means quick disappointment and loss of hope.

Fortune telling for relationships and love

In a reading for personal relationships, the Queen of Cups is of great importance. The card itself personifies the ability to manage feelings, so the discovery of this symbol in a matter of love can be considered karmic. We should not forget about his position.

A layout receives a favorable interpretation if the questioner received the correct Tarot Queen of Cups in it. The meaning in a relationship of this symbol speaks of true feeling. A person does not experience the slightest selfish motives in an alliance. He is led by his heart. However, the card has a positive interpretation for women, indicating the sexuality and attractiveness of the lady. For men, it symbolizes a certain longing for strong feelings, a thirst for sincere love.

For a couple, the Queen of Cups forecast calls for strong love and the ability to withstand difficulties. This is a crystal clear feeling. The proximity of the major arcana will tell you the nature of this love. For example, Strength speaks of inspiration found in relationships.

In the wrong position, the card can give several different answers:

1. One partner tries to manipulate the other in the relationship. He does not have true feelings, he is driven by a thirst for profit.
2. One of the lovers feels loneliness, despite having a soul mate. He lacks warmth and sincerity in a couple.
3. In some situations, the symbol speaks of outside influence, for example, gossip and slander. There is also cunning.

Sometimes the Tarot, with the help of the Queen, points to a specific person. In a love scenario, this is an angry woman whose actions are radical and can cause damage. This person harbors a grudge or wants to take revenge for being deceived.

The proximity of the cards will help clarify the interpretation. The Queen of Cups with other cards, for example, with the Hermit, indicates the inability of a person to express his thoughts and open up. The Chariot speaks of confusion in relationships. One of the partners still hasn’t decided what they are for.

Combination with other cards

Neighboring cards in fortune telling, which are always interconnected, can help in interpreting the layout. The Lady of Cups was no exception. For example, the alignment promises the questioner faith in love and unshakable optimism if the Queen of Maces of the Tarot comes across next to her.

The meaning of the Queen of Cups in combination with other cards (major arcana):

Health prognosis

A correct Queen indicates good health and well-being. The soul of the questioner is in harmony with the body. He enjoys life, including sensual pleasures, such as strong coffee or sweets. The symbol demonstrates a rapid improvement in condition if at the time of fortune telling the person is not in the best shape.

The card also warns of troubles. The Queen of Cups is identified with sex life, so its significance in this reading concerns STDs. Be careful in the ways you get pleasure from life, the card says.

Reversed Queen of Cups

The reversed Queen of Cups can be such an angelic and ethereal creature that she no longer belongs to this world. The irony is that this same card was traditionally used to represent a fallen woman or a temptress. In Victorian literature, this is a woman, seduced and abandoned by her lover, who commits suicide by throwing herself into the sea and turns into a mermaid or siren, luring men into the disastrous abyss. On the one hand, she seduces, on the other, she is in no hurry to give what she promised. The reversed position of the carp suggests that you are denying your emotions or are simply lethargic, lacking initiative and weak-willed. It also means refusing to succumb to provocations and denying those ideas and beliefs that are not organically yours. At one end of the spectrum of manifestations of this card, you retreat into fantasies that have little connection with reality, into self-pity, or begin to abuse alcohol and drugs.

The habit of spiritually merging with the object of your desires can lead to the fact that your body will be free and the empty space will quickly be inhabited by completely foreign entities at worst, and purely human sins and vices at best.

At the other end of this spectrum, you may be a person who is sharp, decisive and competent, not being fooled by anyone, having overcome all illusions and refusing to give in to feelings of any kind.

Perhaps you are currently impractical, hypersensitive to other people's criticism, or easily forget about time and rules. You may be frivolous and fickle, or feed off the energy of others to maintain your own vitality. To get what you need, you use passive resistance, sexuality, or just pout and act up. Emotional vulnerability makes you jealous, envious, vengeful, vindictive, or, on the contrary, clingy and overly affectionate. On the other hand, you may feel alienated, become hard-hearted, cold, insensitive and arrogant. You can hide your love.

In terms of health, indigestion, mood swings, swelling and anemia are likely. As a mother and wife, this queen can be distant, touchy, narcissistic, and prone to blaming others for her misfortunes. She can smother her loved ones with emotional attachment, turning into addiction.

On the inner plane it is a deep mystical connection with God or Spirit and a faith that may require the renunciation of one's own feelings.

From a shamanic and magical point of view, this is a card of mediumship, trance and channeling, as well as spiritual healing, in which the healer takes away from the patient his pain or illness. In some cases, the queen marries a benevolent spirit or becomes the victim of a demonic lover. The card also means teas, tinctures and tinctures.

Traditional Reversed Meanings: a woman of high social position or rank. Virtuous woman. Also vice, dishonor, dishonesty, depravity, intemperance, intrigue. Inconsistent and fickle. A married woman of high social standing offers her love herself.

Card meaning

Straight position

The Queen of Cups represents a woman who inspires affection and love. The questioner trusts her and feels emotionally safe with her. This is an honest friend or relative who will always come to the rescue at the right time. She may be too dreamy and emotional, but she is not devoid of life experience.

If this card does not describe a specific person, then the situation in which the Questioner finds himself will be favorable. Under such circumstances there is no reason to worry: the questioner will be protected from hidden traps or attacks from enemies.

Often this card foreshadows happiness, success, harmony, emotional balance, as well as wise choices regarding the personal life of the Questioner.

Inverted position

In this case, the Queen of Cups represents a woman who can be said to be emotional and impulsive, capricious and often interferes in matters that do not concern her. She usually tends to exaggerate both the shortcomings and merits of the people around her.

The situation that this Arcanum will describe in an inverted position will result in shame and deception for the Questioner. It will be necessary to make every effort to come out of it with honor.

Daniela Chris. "Magic book of Tarot. Fortune telling."

< >
Queen of Cups - love of harmony and peace, developed intuition, sensitive and vulnerable soul, selfless devotion to home and family. The woman is vulnerable and impulsive, inclined to perceive everything vividly and emotionally, and is also no stranger to frequent mood swings. When fortune telling the situation, it indicates that the completed task will bring a lot of joy, but for this you need to work hard.

Inverted - excessive impressionability, emotional imbalance. You need to live with your head, keep your feelings in check.

Astrological meaning:
The Moon in Pisces as a symbol of the subtlety of feelings of readiness to help others and imaginative thinking.
QUEEN OF CUPS
The Queen of Cups, personifying the feminine aspect of the element of water, means subtlety of feelings, empathy, imaginative thinking and readiness for self-sacrifice, symbolizes healing, strengthening power, as well as a look inside oneself. Thus, she controls the unconscious forces of the soul. This is a fairy and wise sorceress who lives inside us, a soothsayer who interprets our dreams, a clairvoyant who helps us find our way in the fog. It is sometimes called the "dark map" because the origins of its wisdom are hidden and cannot be known through rational thinking.

Overall, the Queen of Cups embodies and combines the influences of Venus, the Moon and Neptune. In life, this can be either a woman (this most often happens) or a man. The latter is undoubtedly of the “Venusian” persuasion. This is a person who often acts as a “vest”, who is good to cry and confess.
However, if the Queen of Cups appears reversed, beware, because your confessions will very soon be turned against you.

Straight position:
Astrological equivalents: Libra, Aquarius, Houses Seven and Eleven.
The Queen of Cups has a friendly, attractive and gentle personality. This person is loved and adored, most likely, by many. Most likely, this woman (in the latter case, she is an excellent mother and devoted wife). This card can also indicate a very good friend, regardless of gender. The Queen of Cups is practical, very direct in her statements, but at the same time, she is all filled with spirituality, which is most manifested in the spiritual relationships in which she is usually absorbed. Often the Queen of Cups has the gift of foresight, and it makes sense to listen to her advice.

Inverted position:
Astrological equivalents: the same, but with a clear feeling of low Saturn.
Dishonesty, tendency to forbidden techniques, vile methods, blackmail. The moral principles of the reversed Queen of Cups leave much to be desired. This man is deeply dishonest internally. As a rule, the Queen of Cups is very materialistic, and her religiosity, if any, is expressed only in a kind of prayerful begging, nothing more. The reversed Queen of Cups may indicate a treacherous person coming your way who will try to lure you into the web of their treacherous intrigues.
If the card represents an action.
A. In a straight position
The card indicates that the emotions associated with subsequent cards have already arisen and are in a state of primary formation. It may indicate an emerging feeling when everything is still quite vague and uncertain. Or, on the contrary, this is the first push, after which two people gradually become strangers to each other.
B. Upside down
The card suggests that the feelings indicated by the content of subsequent cards have not yet manifested themselves or been realized. Events are still perceived from the position of pure reason, speculatively. Or the feelings evoked by the events are clearly not adequate to the latter. So often great love or friendship begins with a scandal; close friends meet after quarreling.

She is also the Sibyl, the Lady or the Lady of Cups.
This is a person whose expectations and hopes come true. He has not yet realized this, he is not sure of success, but feelings overtake consciousness, and he feels harmony with the world around him, the fullness of being. The true meaning of the concepts of “love” and “happiness” is revealed to him.
In the upright position it can mean brilliant intuition, reaching clairvoyance, hence the success of the planned business.

Inverted:
Illusion, wishful thinking.
