Feminine Emotional Power

The Queen of Cups depicts all of the feminine qualities to do with love and emotions.  She indicates success in listening to the heart and obtaining the hearts desire.  She denotes success in relationships of all kinds on a deep and satisfying level.  She often appears for people who have been in a relationship for a very long time, having ties that go back a long way.  The Queen of Cups heralds emotional maturity.  

The Queen of Cups can often represent a mother or an older, mature female.  Only a very skilled reader can determine this;  so if the reader is in the beginning stages of learning the Tarot, its probably best to just decipher the meaning.  She would have fair skin and hair, and light eyes;  and most likely be a water star sign.
