Visual Description

A regal woman in a flowing blue gown sits on a carved throne beside a winding stream, holding a golden cup in both hands. Her long hair and dress blend with the surrounding green foliage under a glowing, sun-like orb low in the sky. Small carved figures decorate the throne's arms and lush flowers, reeds and a carpet of grass frame the peaceful waterside scene.

Meaning

She holds the cup like a living thing, the metal warm under soft light while the river whispers at her feet; the scene smells of wet earth and blooming reeds. This is a card of deep feeling, empathy and inner knowing, where tenderness and creative imagination translate into healing presence. The queen's gaze suggests a listening that perceives what is unspoken, offering comfort, diplomatic care, and emotional intelligence that steadies others. Sometimes that inward attention is sanctuary and source of wisdom—a place to gather dreams and incubate compassion. Yet the same still waters can become fog: excessive sensitivity, moodiness, or losing boundaries may isolate or smother. The image advises holding feelings with clear edges, offering nurture without becoming the ocean for someone else's storm. Trust your subtle impressions, but let them be tested by kindness in action and the steady shore of practical care.

The throne features carved figures and the card title in Cyrillic is visible at the bottom of the image.
