Queen of Cupsfor Taurus · The Future
"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 Taurus in The Future
The Builder
Cups are the water suit, so the Queen of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sextiles Taurus, which is help that has to be taken up rather than help that arrives. What it asks for is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. Taurus is perfectly capable of that, which is exactly why not doing it needs a better excuse. Upright, this is the element held internally, by someone with nothing left to prove about it.
When reading about what comes next through a Taurus lens, the Queen of Cups says that you feel like the future is something you control by not changing, a place you have already planned, and something that should feel familiar. This has either meant building a life so predictable it becomes a cage, or choosing what you want and moving toward it steadily enough to sleep at night. You already know what comes next, and you are afraid of what it will cost you to get there. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.
In practice that can look like wanting something you had stopped admitting to, or a place that feels like home. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
