Queen of Cups
empathy · intuition · emotional depth
↑Upright Meaning
The Queen of Cups holds her ornate cup with gentle hands, seeing into its depths what others cannot perceive. She represents the highest expression of emotional intelligence — the ability to feel deeply without being overwhelmed, to hold space for others without losing yourself. Her intuition is so refined it borders on clairvoyance.
↓Reversed Meaning
Emotional boundaries have dissolved, leaving you either overwhelmed by others' feelings or disconnected from your own. The reversed Queen may indicate codependency, emotional manipulation, or the use of intuition to control rather than heal.
