From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black
Queen of Cups
Meanings
The counselor. A warm, motherly figure. Deeply insightful and intuitive. At times she may be overly emotional and will always do what she feels is right, sometimes without fully thinking it through.
Reversed (?)
A manipulative woman. One who can easily control others by exploiting their emotions. She may be intending this for their own good, but it is better to let them stand on their own two feet.
Description
A woman in a blue gown sits at a table laden with fruits and silverware. She holds a cup and wears a heavy gold chain and coronet. Carved on the wall behind her is a crest with a parrot and fleur de lis. Out of the window beside her is a mountainous landscape with a castle overlooking a harbor. She has a distant, dreamy look about her.
