Queen of Cupsfor Taurus · Love and Relationships
"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 Love and Relationships
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 relationships through a Taurus lens, the Queen of Cups says that you feel like your partner is a life you tend carefully, a person whose patterns you have memorized, and someone who should want the same future you do. This has either meant staying in something comfortable that stopped being kind, or building something so solid with someone that both of you know what the next ten years will hold. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. 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 heartache, or an old love resurfacing. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
