Queen of Cups (Reversed) | Tarot Card
When the Queen of Cups appears reversed in a tarot reading, it can indicate that you are passing through life without truly allowing yourself to feel or experience it.
All of your rites of passage, your achievements, and your self-improvements need to be acknowledged and felt at this time. The Queen of Cups encourages you to honor your feelings, and reminds you that your feelings give your life meaning, awareness, and colorful vibrancy. Today, don't "blank out" while doing tasks on autopilot. Stop once in a while, and be present with the beauty that surrounds you. Acknowledge yourself, love yourself, and appreciate yourself for the work you do every day to improve your life, and the lives of others.
Acknowledge your accomplishments and personal growth, celebrating each step on your journey. Taking time to be fully present in your daily activities can enrich your life and open you to a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
This card serves as a reminder that emotions are an essential part of being human. They bring vibrancy and depth to your experiences. When you embrace your emotions, you unlock a powerful source of intuition and inner wisdom, guiding you on your life's path with clarity and compassion.
Do you bottle up your feelings and deny they are even there?
Are you uncomfortable with your feelings? Are you afraid to be "open" because someone or something might potentially hurt you?
The Queen of Cups tarot card represents someone who is at peace with their sensitivity and emotions. She encourages others to see the value in their own feelings and views sensitivity as a strength rather than a weakness. The Queen of Cups recognizes that feelings are sacred and give life its vibrant colors, allowing us to experience a range of emotions, including joy, love, excitement, and even pain.
If you struggle to embrace your emotions or find yourself denying them, the Queen of Cups encourages you to honor your feelings and see their worth. She places her own emotions in a precious chalice adorned with angels, recognizing their value and beauty. She reminds us that like beach stones that reveal their vibrancy when placed in water, life can reveal its complexity and richness when we allow ourselves to feel fully.
Many of us are taught to suppress our emotions or view them as a weakness. However, denying our feelings can lead to an imbalance within ourselves and the world around us. The Queen of Cups reminds us that denying our emotions robs us of experiences that can bring us joy and vibrancy in life. By embracing our emotions, we can find beauty in the world around us and activate pleasure-giving dopamines in the brain.
To experience the vibrancy of life, the Queen of Cups encourages us to look for beauty and admire it in all its forms. This can include buying flowers or art, admiring nature, or finding beauty in the seemingly mundane. By opening ourselves to feeling fully, we can find meaning, complexity, and richness in life.
To avoid getting stuck on painful feelings, ask yourself what the feelings may be teaching you at this stage in your life.
Opening yourself to feelings can sometimes bring about emotional pain, hurt, or discomfort. These feelings especially need to be felt, honored, and then released. Crying is a good thing, and helps clear blocked emotional energy. This will ensure that difficult emotions don't become bottled up and create problems for you unconsciously. What are you learning from being present with them? To release negative emotions, focus on something beautiful. Allow yourself to let in all of its brilliance. Today, take care of your feelings. Filter out whatever is painful and release it. Choose to focus on beauty, and on life's magic. Stop going through life without feeling it! If you feel stuck, you can always do something for someone else to make them feel good. This always has the added effect of helping your emotions as well. Feelings are very precious! Let them flow. Be at peace with them, and with yourself.
Queen of Cups (Reversed) in a Love Reading
New Relationship
The Queen of Cups reversed can represent someone who repeatedly dives into tempestuous relationships, floundering in her (or his) desperate desire to be loved. She avoids learning how to swim, hoping instead for a strong savior to rescue her. By presenting herself as a victim needing rescue, she is continually victimized. Her life can change when she chooses to be empowered.
Long Term Partnership
When the Queen of Cups is reversed, she represents someone who is often overwhelmed by their great sensitivity and may need assistance in dealing with feelings. She can also represent a smothering or needy partner in personal relationships. She may need to channel more of the attentive devotion she shows her partner toward herself.
Seeking Romance
Sometimes the Queen of Cups appears reversed when your heart has become numb, or you aren’t allowing emotional experiences to sink in. To begin the process of opening your heart, start in environments where you feel safe and protected. It may be time to reconnect with nature, meditate, or allow quiet time to listen within to what will heal old wounds.
