Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups embodies deep compassion and intuitive understanding that she offers to others from a seemingly bottomless emotional well. She reminds caregivers to avoid neglecting their own needs and to maintain healthy boundaries so their generosity does not become transactional. When emotional reserves are exhausted, giving can turn into an expectation of repayment, which erodes trust and creates suspicion. The card advises self-care and balance: do not pour from an empty chalice, and remain open to receiving love as well as giving it.

Meaning
The Queen of Cups has access to a seemingly bottomless reservoir of compassion and understanding that she can bring to others. If you are the Queen, then be careful not to neglect yourself. Love should be given freely, but when your reserves are depleted, you may start expecting some form of payment for your support and care. In this situation, subjects become distrustful and wary of hidden costs. Do not pour from an empty chalice; be open to receiving love as well as giving it.
Visual Description
A woman sits on the edge of a wooden dock with her bare feet dipped into a calm body of water. A single cup sits beside her on the dock and a framed picture of a simple crown hangs on the pink sky behind her. She wears a rolled-up shirt and pants, her hair falling around her shoulders, and her reflection is visible in the water below. The scene is quiet and still, with gentle ripples and muted, pastel colors.
