"Emotional Intelligence isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
The queen represents the highest form of feminine energy, love and nurturing and protectiveness. Highly tied to the emotions and water-- she's creative and intuitive and above all loving. She's also dreamy and tied to a more psychic power.
With all royal cards, the queen can be an actual person in your life who represents the highest forms of love and nurturing (romantically maybe it's a truly healthy attachment with whom you want to start a life/build a family; perhaps a bond to your own mother is strong or your mom will be a support in your next life phase). The queen can also be an embodiment of your own strong emotions (maybe you are having a baby, or parenting in some way).
The reversed queen of cups means someone is using their control of your emotions to trick you or feed their own ego. Put a little space between you and the person in your life who uses your love of them to feel good about themselves.

Queen of Cups for Capricorn in Love and Relationships
The Architect
Cups are the water suit, so the Queen of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sits directly opposite Capricorn, so this card describes the half of the situation Capricorn habitually hands to someone else. What it wants is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. Handing that to another person is exactly the habit. Upright, this is the element held internally, by someone with nothing left to prove about it.
When reading about relationships through a Capricorn lens, the Queen of Cups says that you feel like intimacy is something you build toward through consistency and small acts, a long-term project with measurable progress (or regression), and safer when you know exactly what is expected. This has either created a partnership that deepens because you actually show up or left you unable to ask for anything because asking feels like admitting you cannot handle it alone. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Capricorn blind spot in it is being useless, being a burden, being the person who could not hold it together.
In practice that can look like heartache, or an old love resurfacing. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
