Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups possesses compassion, kindness, unparalleled intuition, and an inherently nurturing spirit, enabling her to connect with others on an emotional level and even heal them with her warmth and care. Upright, this means that others look to you for support and counsel. You are encouraged to help others by relying on your intuition and emotional intelligence instead of logic. If you are faced with a situation where a logical approach isn't working, listen to your inner voice and emotions. Just be careful not to pour too much into others that you deplete your emotional well. Caring for your emotional well-being is another message conveyed by the Queen of Cups.

As the Queen of Cups embodies emotional maturity, a reversal indicates that your emotions might be overwhelming you. This can lead to fragility, excessive dependence on others for emotional support, daydreaming, or prioritizing others at the expense of your emotional or financial well-being. You may also struggle to express your feelings and tend to keep things to yourself. This card serves as a reminder that one cannot pour from an empty cup. Genuine compassion stems from self-love. Nourish yourself first, so you can better care for others.
