Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Queen of Cups
Astrologically, the Queen of Cups is in the last Decan of Gemini and the First two Decans of Cancer.
Both the Rider-Waite-Smith and the Manara cards concentrate on this aspect of tranquility. On Waite's card She is seated on a throne, on the shore of a tranquil sea, with ornate moon chalice in hand. She uses this moon chalice, to see her visions.
Again, Waite and Smith, in their very ornate card, show only the mundane meanings of this card. Medieval art rather than the Avant-garde art of Lady Frieda Harris's Qabalistic Thoth Deck, or the realism art of Milo Manara's erotic tarot. Lady Frieda Harris and Alister Crowley went into the deeper arcane meanings of Qabalistic Tarot (see these comparisons on the nontraditional tarot blogs of elitarotstrickingy.com).
Every depiction in the Milo Manara Erotic Tarot and Rider-Waite-Smith card says water, her clothing, the sea and shoreline and the Moon Chalice and the merchildren, one with a fish are images that decorate her throne.
The Milo Manara Erotic Tarot-Queen of Water.
The Milo Manara Erotic Tarot-Queen of Cups depicts a demure young woman of voluptuous form standing in the element of water, with rain coming down. Obviously, water is the Pythagorean element of this card as well as the element of the unconsciousness. Hence, the Queen of cups is seen here as the "Perfect woman" in the male's unconsciousness. This "perfect woman" was called the Anima by the Physiologist Carl Jung. However, males are not alone in this phenomenon as the "perfect male" resides in the unconsciousness of the females.
The meaning of this card is that of the Lover, faithful friend, apparition (imagined form), honesty (nudity), clairvoyance, intuition, and sensitivity. He then assigns the Astrological sign of Cancer to this card, a water card which can make one emotionally receptive (empathy), and/or a lunatic if negative.
The meanings for the Queen of Water and the Thoth Queen of Cups are the same.
