Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups sits in a cove carved by the waves, her throne enveloped like a luminous shell. Positioned at the boundary between land and sea, her throne room signifies her domain at the frontier of the material and emotional worlds, accessible only through the path of intuition. Her attire shines with the opalescent glow of true pearls, and her forehead is adorned with a crown of bright scales, expressing her close connection to the element of water. Her contemplative gaze seems to perceive both the physical and astral planes simultaneously. In her hands, she holds a winged golden cup, reminiscent of a reliquary. This chalice serves as a gateway through which she believes she can see the future. Queens typically represent individuals, and the Queen of Cups is a woman rich in emotion and inner world, who, like a mermaid - the mysterious fantasy creature of the realm of emotions - her delicacy is also associated with strong intuition and mystical abilities.
