Queen of Cups

Cups

Essence

I am the one who holds the sealed cup. In my image, I sit enthroned by the sea, gazing into an ornate, closed chalice - a vessel whose contents only I can see. Angels support my throne. My feet touch the water's edge, connecting realm of land and sea, conscious and unconscious. I am emotion that has learned depth, intuition that has become wisdom, the mother who feels what words cannot say.

Upright

Themes: Compassion, intuition, emotional security, nurturing, empathy, depth, psychic awareness, unconditional support.

I speak with the voice of compassionate understanding. I am about emotional depth, intuition trusted, the ability to hold space for feeling. When I appear, I announce that deep wisdom is available. Trust your feelings. Someone offers - or you can offer - the nurturing presence that heals without fixing. **Themes:** Compassion, intuition, emotional security, nurturing, empathy, depth, psychic awareness, unconditional support.

Reversed

Themes: Emotional overwhelm, insecurity, manipulation through emotion, codependency, psychic overload, martyrdom.

I speak of emotions that overwhelm or intuition misused. Either you're drowning in feeling, unable to maintain boundaries, or you've disconnected from emotional truth entirely. My reversed message asks: are you holding your cup or drowning in it? **Themes:** Emotional overwhelm, insecurity, manipulation through emotion, codependency, psychic overload, martyrdom.
