Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith-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 Lost Soul Tarot Queen of Cups 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 fantasy art of Fairy 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 Rider-Waite-Smith-Queen of Cups 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.
Queen of Cups
The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms- Queen of Cups
The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms-Queen of Cups displays a beautiful and serene queen siting in a lush forest landscape lit up by fairy lights. Here she radiates love and peace and is surrounded by adoring fey flames and/or spirit lights. She is extremely intuitive and understands your soul more than you do. She is surrounded with lights which implies she creates happiness, which is why so many spirits or fairies are vying for her attention, even dancing on her mirror.
The Queen of Cups represents an intuitive and empathetic person who is emotionally mature and compassionate. By connecting to others on an emotional level she is a natural healer. This person ca be the querent or someone in her/his life.
Since the Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms-Queen of Cups displays magical spirit flames or lights in the air it would be fun to examine their meaning.
Spirit lights, often referred to as spirit orbs, are a fascinating subject within paranormal beliefs. They are typically described as balls of light that appear in photographs or videos and are believed by some to indicate the presence of spirits or ghosts. Here are some key characteristics:
- Manifestation: Spirit orbs manifest as light anomalies, varying in size, shape, and color1.
- Color Significance: The color of an orb may suggest different types of spirits or messages. For example, clear orbs might signify a spirit trying to communicate, while red or orange orbs could represent protection or the presence of a caregiver spirit1.
- Common Locations: They are frequently reported at historical sites and old homes, where they are thought to represent retained energy from past events1.
- Interpretations: Some interpret these orbs as manifestations of guardian angels, ancestors, or other supernatural entities2.
- Skepticism: It’s important to note that there is no scientific evidence supporting the existence of spirit orbs, and many such occurrences can be explained by dust particles or reflections1.
The concept of spirit lights is deeply intertwined with personal beliefs and experiences, and while many find comfort and meaning in them, others approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism. Whether you see them as a spiritual phenomenon or a curious aspect of photography, they certainly add an element of mystery to the exploration of the unknown.
Let’s delve into the astrological decans of Gemini and Cancer:

Qabalistically, these Queens are not Persons, but States of Conscious Energy, called "Beings" (Sephiroth) in the philosophy of Qabalah and are parts of the Divine Universal Collective Unconscious, meaning the Powerful Imagination, the Creatrix, where images are formed. Images are the only way to realize these deep inner layers of Mind and "that before Mind"; Before Mind, is a "vessel" and/or womb, of magnetic energy, there was only Kether whose god name is Eheieh, a "no-thing" whose first invention of thought and/or "word of god".
"Eheieh" which translated into English means, "I Will Be". You are the being/image that is fulfilling that command. Therefore, the Queens of Tarot, can represent a core personality of a Soul /Solar Psyche. The Psyche is All that is Mind, (Unconscious-subconscious, and waking conscious). It is above, around, below, and inside. As a united whole this is our True Self a Ternary Consciousness who is the Sun (radiant energy) of the Divine.
Binah is the 3rd Sephiroth on the Tree of Life, in the upper part called the Supernal Triangle, she is the essence of Womb, and I often call this state of Mind a "Womb with a View", because She conceives by viewing and understanding. The True Mind (not the brain) communicates in image, not words. Therefore, your persona is an image, and not an identity of words created by "word hypnosis" of the media that is controlled by the Archon. The lesser ego/Devil, (Gnostic Archon) is built of ruler-controlled words, and therefore, a fantasy programed into the subconscious survival thinking brain, forming a shadow identity built to hide your true soul created personality.
The use of words as identity is a product of the Shadow subconscious identity manipulation and is called "antilife"(evil).
You are not made of words but of The Greater Understanding of the Oneself as Itself.
You are made of Spirit's Will to Force and Will to Form. Hence, your presence is to "Above all things, know thyself", which requires you to tear down the Tower of Babel that are words, and see yourself through the eyes of the Great Creatrix who loved you into being as the Solar Child of the Divine Creative. You are the bright ACTION while the Shadow is REACTION to fear based indoctrination.
The Queens all represent the Water in each suit; therefore, the Queen of Cups represents Water of Primal Earth. Water being the symbol for Intuition, Emotions and Consciousness as well as the blood of Earth. Queens are enthroned in the Element of Consciousness, as Will to Form and Enclose Energy (by realization and understanding) to bring forth the Will to Force of the King. She develops that force into information and/or in-Form-Action. As emotive consciousness does to idea.
