Tarot Court Cards

Court cards indeed have a strong personal touch. Unlike the numbered cards who show the elements against the background of the 10 Sephiroth and are more likely defining various steps of a process, the Court Cards reflect personal human attributes within the elements, and the elements within the elements.

So a more frequently appearing of court cards within a reading implies that personal feelings and emotions are more important than various steps of an ongoing process, wether for the person who is asking or for the cards that are answering. The differentiation between a personal feeling and a step of a process is very important in reading the cards.

Queen of Cups

“Be empathetic towards others to lead by example, and let them understand what it is all about.“

The card pictures a beautifully dressed queen sitting on her throne at the edge of a river. The golden cup in her hand denotes the flow of feelings and thoughts that come from her subconscious mind and resonate through the depths of her soul. The calm waters and vast sky symbolize the queen's peaceful mind and serene emotions. The turtle coming out of the water near her feet represents fertility, good luck, longevity, and creativity. The white lilies near her throne refer to purity, innocence, new life, and rebirth.

When you draw the queen of cups, it bespoke about your compassion, kindness, sensitivity, and nurturing abilities. You are someone who always supports others and cares for them. Your sensitivity sometimes makes you vulnerable to the deceits and wickedness of people. However, your well-grounded approach makes you create a healthy boundary to save yourself from heartbreak and emotional turmoil.

Identical to the intuitive queen, you can also read people's minds and understand their emotions. You got a heart of gold that makes everyone trust you to give the best solution to their problems. You might sometimes feel unfocused on your goals, but remember to follow your inner guidance because it will guide you in the right direction. Let your heart lead your life and follow your dreams. You are stronger than you believe.

Reversed Queen of Cups Meaning :

The flipside of the queen of cups in tarot reading encourages you to focus on your emotional wellbeing. It is good to take care of others, but it does not mean to forget yourself while looking after others. You are afraid that if you consider your own needs in life, people might perceive you as self-centered. Free yourself from these thoughts. Hold space for others in your life, but do not allow others to rule over you.

You are overriding your intuition lately. No matter, how busy you may get in life, do not forget to reconnect with your intuition and listen to your inner voice. Instead of repressing your feelings, honor them.
