Card 48 • cups

Queen of Cups

Brief Description

The Queen of Cups warns against rigid emotional control and the burden of authority. When you sit upon a throne and tightly bind your heart with restraint, life itself drains from your cup. True freedom comes from releasing the crown and breaking free from the chains of rigid control. This card suggests that authentic emotional fulfillment requires vulnerability and the willingness to step down from positions of inflexible power.

The Burden of Emotional Control

If you sit on a throne, rigidly binding your heart with a belt, life will drain away from your cup. Refuse the crown, and you will free yourself from the chain.

Visual Description

A regal woman sits on an ornate wooden throne holding a large golden chalice in her right hand. She wears a dark, laced bodice and long gloves, her very long hair cascading over the arm of the chair. Behind her is a round, reflective mosaic or mirror and a tall arched window that lets cool light into the chamber. A purple carpet with a cup emblem lies at her feet and a small cup symbol appears in the card border.
