de La Tempérance dans la tarot de Marseille


The Queen of Cups is in touch with her own emotions as well as the emotions of others. In the modern world, people may tend to favor logic over emotions, and the Queen of Cups is a good reminder that feelings and intuition have their places as well.

If you draw the Queen of Cups, take it as evidence that you need to check in with your own emotional well-being and the well-being of those close to you. Are you allowing yourself to feel all your emotions as they come? Alternately, are you too consumed with emotions and unable to see things clearly?

The Queen of Cups also listens to her intuition and goes with her gut when she is having a hard time making decisions. There are many cases where it might benefit you to follow her example.
