Queen of Cups

“The first tear I shed for you is more precious than any stakes that may follow.”

Vision

The Queen is engrossed in her thoughts and the cup. The crystal ball suggests that she is a spiritual practitioner, adept at capturing subconscious messages. Her gaze penetrating deep, she reflects on past events. Insights and inspiration surface from the water in a relaxed state. At her feet, a black bird rests beside its egg. This is the bird’s home, the starting point of its journey. The rainbow the Queen sits on symbolizes her overcoming emotional turmoils and adverse feelings.

Message

The Queen harbors a tragic story. The black bird is a recurring motif in The Hermit and Ten of Wands. The former commemorates her only friend, with whom she shared secret spiritual revelations. The latter recalls a devastating fire. She recalls how she tried in vain to save everything and mourned the irreversible losses relentlessly. Eventually, time washed everything away. The heavy rain she had prayed for during the fiery blaze arrived too late, like a belated apology. It drizzles to this day.
