The Meaning of the Queen of Cups in the Tarot Card System

Queen of Cups

General Meaning

The Queen of Cups symbolises success achieved thanks to powerful intuition. A person for whom this card has fallen usually has an accurate premonition of coming events. Strong intuition, clairvoyance. It describes someone who prefers to rely on intuition rather than logic. Such a person may give the impression of being detached from reality — not of this world. They tend to drift in a world of dreams and fantasy. The Queen of Cups points to longing for a loved one, or to the improvement of a relationship with a partner with whom the spiritual bond has been lost. You may have a tendency toward self-sacrifice. You will need help from those around you, who can offer wise advice and every possible assistance.

Reversed Meaning of the Card

It may be that your emotions are getting in the way of solving certain problems. You are being deceived, or you simply lack some very important information. Do not listen to the advice of people you have doubts about. Watch very carefully the people who give you advice — someone may wish you harm. If you asked about love, the person you love may not be open with you, and you will very soon be disappointed in them. You may be in a codependent relationship. Or you are sacrificing yourself for someone who does not deserve it. You may be enabling someone's addiction, which could later rebound on you badly. If the other cards in the spread are negative, the appearance of this card reversed can point to a fatal dependency that may bring an enormous amount of trouble.

A lack of care and support, running away from the problem, clinging to past misfortunes. Nightmares. Unfulfilled longings for love. A meeting with the reversed Queen of Cups.
