Queen of Cups, Connolly Tarot

The QUEEN can represent any of the following:

• The client
• A particular attitude or characteristic adopted by the client in a certain situation
• Another woman
• A vibratory power or influence (either positive or negative), depending upon the suit of the QUEEN.
•  This power can come directly from an individual or a representative or establishment acting on behalf of a woman in authority.

It is essential to be flexible when interpreting the QUEEN. Do not limit yourself or be afraid to recognize the female influence that surrounds all the QUEENS. For example, if you are reading for a man, you must realize that the QUEEN may not necessarily be referring to a woman here, but to the female energies of the man.


When you understand the Universal Law you realize that both men and women have elements of the opposite sex in their mental and emotional constitutions. Yin and Yang. This duality is quite separate from the physical sexuality of male and female.

Consider the power and energy that motivates a woman to attain a position in top management. Her skills may be outstanding and far superior to any male in her company. Therefore, the KING OF WANDS could easily play a prominent part in her reading.

Likewise, a creative man with exceptional talent in interior design and who tends to be moody, sensitive and melancholy could very well be represented in his reading by the QUEEN OF PENTACLES.

REVERSED....


Here we see the denial of the mother; a rejection of those qualities associated with mother. The need to slay extreme motherliness within the self. There is some sense of the mother’s betrayal or denial of the querent particularly when they were young and so they feel uncomfortable with womanliness.


But there is a necessity to deal the some negativity of that relationship whether in the present or out of some past circumstance.

Can express some selfish hoarding of knowledge out of fear that others will steal one’s insights and overtake one. The querent’s growth intellectual as well as psychological) is stymied by some unwillingness to share or to foster growth in another. (that's sad don't you think?)
