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 Modern Witch Tarot cards concentrates on this aspect of tranquility. On Waite's card She is seat 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, shows only the mundane meanings of this card. Medieval art rather than the Avant-garde art of Lady Frieda Harris's Qabalistic Thoth Deck. Lady Frieda Harris and Aleister 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 Modern Witch 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, images that decorates her throne .
The Modern Witch Tarot-Queen of Cups
The Modern Witch Tarot has the Queen of Cups facing her Rose colored Love cups. She is dressed the aquamarine color, in the shades, of Water, the Universal Element that she is associated with. There are no merchildren on this card, only a mermaid motif on the scallop shaped throne. Here the Queen on this card concentrates more on her characteristics of imagination, poetic tendencies and gifts of Vision, as she stares into the Love cup. She is highly emotional and sensitive (Empathic), one who is also self-protective, a quality that makes her seem somewhat unapproachable. Due to her empathy, she finds it hard to let people into her world, for it is difficult for her to trust others. However, she can be the best of friends as she is very loyal to those who befriend her. She can also be a person of great fun, intensely charming, and entertaining for she knows to say the right thing at the right time (intuition). There is a certain lack of self-confidence, that she compensates for with a strong moral character, and sense of right and wrong. She finds it extremely hard to forgive those who break the "rules", and dislikes behavior that she considers to be thoughtless and inappropriate. Because she is a lover of home and children, whom she can be overprotective of, her natural suspiciousness often makes her a great business woman. She adores beauty, physical luxury, and artful material objects.
The Queen of cups represents Specific Water in the Realm of Primal Water. In other words; She is the "will to form" intelligence that resides in the Divine Collective Unconscious. Here the "Will to Form" of Binah (3rd Sephiroth of Tree of Life) is "reflecting on consciousness" as an archetypal personality . She makes a therapeutic guide into the depth of the unconsciousness and emotions.
