Meaning
Description
The Queen of Cups is the seer, the wise one, deeply in touch with their intuition and their emotional inner realm. They're so empathic that they know what you're feeling before you do, because they can feel it, too. This is the queen of the waters, the queen of intuition, intimately acquainted with the heart and all of its mysterious workings, unafraid to delve to its deepest depths.
In a Reading
When the Queen of Cups appears in a reading, they may represent a time of deep and strong emotions, one where we are asked to hold ourselves with compassion and nurture our emotional selves as we're rocked in our high inner wonders. The Queen often shows up to tell us to get in touch with our intuition, for there's something important our inner voice is trying to tell us if we would only listen. This is a good time to get out our Tarot cards, our crystals and pendulums, our scrying bowl, and tune in to our psychic channel. Like the High Priestess, the Queen of Cups tells us that the answers we seek are within, not without.
Warnings
It's important when we pull the Queen of Cups to watch out for emotional overwhelm—grounding exercises can be helpful to keep us rooted and present while the emotional tides sweep over us. Equally vital is emotional maturity. With such high emotions and intuitive power, we may become emotionally manipulative without realizing it.

Visual Description
An older man sits on a wooden bench with a blue cushion, dressed in a yellow sweater, shirt and tie, holding a steaming pink mug. A small golden crown rests beside him on the bench and a pair of dress shoes sits on the floor while he wears blue sneakers. Behind him is a window with plaid curtains; the scene is simple, domestic and quietly composed.
