Queen of Cups Description
The Queen of Cups is depicted as a contemplative woman seated on a throne by the sea, holding a unique, closed golden cup with angel-shaped handles, indicating her deep connection to the inner realms of her subconscious and soul. Her throne is adorned with marine motifs like sea-nymphs, fish, and scallop shells, emphasizing her association with water and the unconscious mind, elements representing emotion, spirituality, and perception.
Surrounded by a serene, cloudless blue sky and calm sea, she embodies tranquility and emotional depth. Despite her proximity to the water, her feet rest on colorful pebbles, symbolizing her ability to remain grounded and not be overtaken by her emotions. This balance highlights her mastery over her feelings and intuition, reflecting her role as a figure of wisdom, empathy, and understanding in the Tarot.
