Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups embodies compassionate emotional wisdom and intuitive presence, inviting gentle listening and caregiving. She nurtures creative currents and offers comfort as a healer who tends feelings with softness and depth. Her cup's rim reminds you to maintain boundaries—give only from a full vessel—and when reversed her waters can become fog, bringing overgiving, moodiness, or subtle manipulation. Restore balance with tenderness toward yourself, clear conversation, and calming rituals so you can be a safe harbor where truth and comfort meet.

Visual description
A woman with long silver hair and an ornate, kokoshnik-like crown stands among tall green reeds and brown cattails. Strings of droplets and beads hang around her, sparkling like water. She wears flowing white sleeves and layered necklaces of turquoise and pearls, and she cradles an engraved silver cup close to her chest with both hands. Her eyes are lowered, and a dragonfly rests near the lower edge of the scene.
Meaning
Here the Queen of Cups is a quiet sovereign of waters, reminiscent of the lake maidens of Slavic tales who keep watch among the reeds. She invites you to hold space for feelings, to listen without rushing, and to let intuition speak first; upright, she is compassion, emotional wisdom, and the gentle healer who knows how to soothe and to dream. Creative currents flow easily now, and caring presence nourishes others as surely as a spring feeds a marsh. Yet the cup’s rim is also a boundary: give from a full vessel, not a leaking one. When reversed, her waters can turn to fog—overgiving, moodiness, sentimentality, or subtle manipulation that pulls others under. Beware of drowning in fantasies, rescuing at your own expense, or numbing what needs to be felt. Restore balance with tenderness toward yourself, clear conversations, and rituals that calm the heart. If you honor both empathy and limits, you become a safe harbor where truth and comfort can meet.
