Queen of Cups

Brief Description

The Queen of Horns embodies deep empathy and emotional strength, calling you to seek and use your psychic gifts while indulging in your desires in a balanced way. Imagery of a crowned figure turned from turbulent waters, holding a drinking horn and standing over a bindrune suggests introspective clarity and mastery over feeling. Upright, she advises finding equilibrium between empathy and personal longing, trusting emotional power as guidance. Reversed, the card warns of unstable feelings, victim mentality, manipulation, and erratic emotional behavior that undermine clarity and agency.

Visual Description

A crowned woman sits on an ornate wooden throne at the edge of a misty, wave-tossed sea, wearing a blue gown and a fur-trimmed cloak. She holds a horn-shaped cup in her right hand and gazes thoughtfully toward the water. A pale, translucent dolphin or whale-like form arcs through the cloudy sky behind her. At the bottom of the image the title 'QUEEN OF CUPS' is printed in stone-like letters and a small glowing rune appears on her skirt.
