Suit of Cups

King of Cups

Queen of Cups

From the Tarot Handbook - This Queen represents mastery of emotional integrity. She represents the constant practice of owning one's feelings and expressing them without blame or judgement. She does not abandon, deny or repress her feelings. She communicates her feelings accurately and openly. She does not use her feelings to attack others nor does she apologize for her feelings. Whatever she is feeling, she is determined to reflect accurately on the outside as a way of preventing any dichotomy between what is felt internally and what is expressed externally. She can represent issues surrounding motherhood and the need to express yourself honestly about maternal issues, or issues involving the feminine authority figures in your life, including the seeker's own mother. This Queen requires that you reflect yourself honestly as you make changes or give birth to new identities, new forms, new talents, or new lifesyles.
