Queen of Cups

Water · Cups
The Queen of Cups card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A crowned figure sits on a shore holding an ornate lidded cup, the only cup in the suit she cannot see into.

Upright

  • Empathy
  • Depth
  • Attunement

Traditionally feeling held with steadiness rather than swept along by it. It invites you to consider what you carry for other people.

Reversed

  • Overwhelmed
  • Absorbed
  • Closed

Reversed, the boundary between her feeling and everyone else's goes: absorbed in others, or shut down to stop being.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
