Queen of Cups tarot card

"Emotional Intelligence isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

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.

Upright
Emotional IntelligenceCompassionNurturingIntuition

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).

Reversed

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 Sagittarius in Love and Relationships

The Seeker

Cups are the water suit, so the Queen of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer and Sagittarius are quincunx, two signs with nothing in common: no shared element, mode, or polarity. This card will not slot neatly into how Sagittarius already operates. What it wants is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. It has to be done deliberately or it will not happen. Upright, this is the element held internally, by someone with nothing left to prove about it.

When reading about relationships through a Sagittarius lens, the Queen of Cups says that you feel like your partner is the person who understands the vision, someone who will not ask you to stay smaller, and a test of whether you can commit to anything at all. This has either led you to find someone who grows alongside you or to have left good people because they wanted you to actually be there. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Sagittarius blind spot in it is the specific weight of a single commitment, the slowness of actually building something, the possibility that it might not be enough.

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.
