"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 Virgo in Health and Energy
The Analyst
Cups are the water suit, so the Queen of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sextiles Virgo, 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. Virgo 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 health through a Virgo lens, the Queen of Cups says that you feel like your body is something to maintain according to plan, a thing you ignore until it stops working, and information you're always half-listening to. This has either led to you catching small problems early, or to ignoring major signals because you're too busy fixing everything else. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Virgo blind spot in it is the feeling of being useless, or of having wasted time on something that didn't hold up.
In practice that can look like wanting to be looked after. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
