Queen of Cups Tarot Card Description
Traditionally, the court cards (kings, queens, knights and pages) in the tarot pack are ascribed to physical characteristics. When using this approach, The Queen of Cups is said to represent a woman who is over thirty-five years of age who has golden brown hair and blue eyes.
Upright Meaning
When the Queen of Cups appears in a tarot spread, emotions are the centre of your situation. Fortunately, if she is upright you have the emotional insight to deal with whatever comes your way. In family and romantic matters, you have the wherewithal to overcome any issues that require sensitivity and understanding. Should you work in the caring professions, your increased empathy will enable any interventions you make to be particularly successful – as long as you don’t allow yourself to get too involved. The Queen of Cups brings social sweetness, as people are drawn to your warm and friendly demeanour. You could even be lucky enough to come to the attention of a warm, caring individual who will be able to help you overcome any emotional issues – provided you are able to open your heart to them. If you are fortunate enough to meet this very special person, it is likely to be a sign that you are about to take some important steps along your life’s path. Equally, it could be you who helps someone else by lending them a listening ear. If you are concerned about an abuse of animal or human rights, you could find yourself becoming involved in a successful campaign to right these wrongs, either as an individual or as part of a group. The Queen of Cups is also a reminder to alpha, go-getting types, that they need to cultivate a softer and gentler side from time to time and open themselves to the rainbow colours of their emotions.
Reverse Meaning
There is nothing wrong with expressing your emotions, but when The Queen of Cups appears reversed in your tarot reading, it can be a sign that you have taken several steps too far. Could it be potential victims duck and run for cover, as your mood swings like a demolition-ball clobbering the unwary with the force of your angst? OK, so perhaps you are really all sweetness and light. If so, keep an eye out for someone whose over-sensitive nature can make them unstable and sneaky, even if they seem full of saccharine smiles and winning wiles. Don’t let your emotional connection to someone lead you to ignore the fact that they can be as destructive as a hurricane when the mood hits them.
Past
You have felt emotionally drained; hardly surprising. You may have given so much of yourself to others you forgot your own needs. Equally, your copious capacity for compassion was commendable, but were you so emotionally close to someone that you missed the truth?
Present
Your compassionate nature is drawing other kind souls towards you, and you will enjoy their company. There may well be someone you know who's willing to help you with emotional issues, but they need you to open up.
Future
Address your anger and angst, when you do you will be liberated to be much more compassionate to yourself and others. A kind, tender person will soon be entering your life and they will give you the support you need.

Queen of Cups Love Tarot Card Description
Upright Meaning
Nurturing, supportive, loving, compassionate, creative and caring, who can resist the person symbolised by the Queen of Cups? Not many folk, and this person draws people into their orbit and suffers no shortage of admirers.
Singletons will face a cornucopia of charming admirers; the problem is which one to choose. Don’t be afraid to follow your intuition. Remember to let others know how your feel, they are not mind readers (and if they are they’d probably appreciate the break).This is the ideal time to follow your intuition and express yourself to your loved one. Watch out though, there is a risk of capturing the heart of someone who is as clingy as ivy. If this happens you will need to make it clear that you need some space.
Couples will share a time of love and intimacy. This is the perfect opportunity to remind your amour just how much you adore them.
Reversed Meaning
It’s time to face the truth, don’t let your emotions cloud your judgement; you could be putting far more into the relationship than you will ever receive. Don’t let the fact you care for them mean you allow someone to behave like a cad. If your love is intoxicated by various substances rather than you, seek some help.
Your own moods could be causing chaos in your relationship, so you may need to look at the wider picture. Equally, you may be expecting far too much from your beau, try not to treat them to every emotion you experience as this can be exhausting.
