The Queen of Cups symbolizes the element of water in its purest form, reflecting deep
emotions and intuition. She embodies love, warmth, and empathy, acting as a nurturing figure
who connects with others on an emotional level. This card represents the essence of feelings,
untouched by judgment or goals.
However, the Queen of Cups also has a more challenging side. Lacking the grounding of
Earth and the assertiveness of Air and Fire, she can become passive and overly influenced by
her surroundings. This can lead to instability, making her seem unreliable or inconsistent.
At her most negative, the Queen's rich imagination and creativity might shift into weakness
and lack of focus, causing her to drift aimlessly in a fantasy world detached from reality.
Drive: Navigating the line between reality and dreams.
Light: Creativity, compassion, emotional insight, and sensitivity.
Shadow: Confusion and irrational behaviour.
