Queen of Cups

Caring and understanding feelings.

What Queen of Cups can mean for your day

In tradition, a queen sits by the sea, gazing at an ornate, closed cup. She understands what others feel. Today is good for listening and looking after people, yourself included.

Try: Ask someone how they're really doing, and listen.

Where it sits in the deck

Tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards. 56 of them, like this one, are about everyday life. They come in four groups, called suits, a bit like playing cards.

Cups: feelings, love and friendship. In tradition, the suit of Water.

Court cards are people, or a side of you. Page: the beginner, curious and keen. Knight: the doer, all action. Queen: the one who understands it from the inside. King: the one who's in charge of it.
