3 Card Tarot Reading

The Three of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Three of Wands in your reading indicates that you have gone the distance and have found your reward.

The cards of the Tarot tell a story and where the Two of Wands indicates a need for planning before the adventure begins, the Three of Wands indicates that you are closer to your destination and that the end is in sight. Often it will represent being at the last leg of a journey in your life or completing something and now being able to move forward to the next aspect. Think about ways in your life where you have worked hard and now you are starting to feel the benefits. It could indicate a project at work being completed, being ready to commit further in a relationship, or fixing to be in the final stages of making a large purchase.

The Three of Wands card shows a man who is overlooking the ocean. He stands alone, yet for some reason, there are three staves present. As he leans against one stave the other two appear firmly planted in the ground. There is a sense of stability in his location now and it is often interpreted that he had to climb over mountains and is now enjoying the view. This is a card of independence and going your own way. You are in a place in your life where you have worked hard but now are ready to share your rewards with others or to celebrate. You may have even learned a trade or new way of doing things and with your knowledge, you are able to share with others.

This card leads the way to leadership and cooperation. Take the knowledge that you have gained and allow others to benefit from your own trials and errors,  at this time you are likely to be looked to for advice. You may be in a position to guide or lead others. Be patient with those around you at this time and realize that you did not get to where you are today by perfection.

You have made your own mistakes and those mistakes did not mean failure. Understand that those around you, especially people who are younger than you or on an earlier leg of their own journey are going to make mistakes and do not judge them for false starts or faltering. Remember when you were just starting out and think of the times in which you had to ask for help or how you could have done things easier. Offer your advice but understand that it is not personal if the other person does not take heed your warnings.

The Three of Wands can also indicate that you need to rally your own forces or that you need to ask for help when needed. There is no shame in asking for direction or help in the next steps of your journey. Just as you offer your advice from others, take in that which is given to you. Because you have found some success in your own right does not mean that your journey has ended. Lives are constantly changing and new experiences will come to you. Allow for your most recent successes to further your own foundation and do not be resistant to growth or change that is coming your way.

The Three of Wands in Love

Often the Three of Wands in love will represent a still budding relationship where ideas, experiences, and emotions are being intermingled. You may be getting to know someone or coming to a point in your relationship where you find out something new about your partner. The card is also about building and growing from past success. It is a good time to open up to your partner about your feelings and what you want out of the relationship. If you want your relationship to grow rather than stagnate, you need to offer emotional support and be open about your expectations. This is not a time to be taking it easy or just seeing where it goes. You are likely past that point and there needs to be more energy put into the relationship if you want to see it blossom.

The Three of Wands As Feelings

If you are asking the question of how somebody feels about another or an overarching card of somebody’s intentions romantically, this card is all about passion but waiting for something better to come along. I often find this card is a conclusion style card. In that, the cycle of the relationship has passed and there will be a decision that will be made. Either commitment or fading away from a relationship.

Often, this is a card about anticipating the future and making the effort to build the right foundations. There is also an element of this card which features minor dishonesty. Whenever I pull this card for a relationship, I often question whether the other person is sincere. In an upright position, the card represents travel and moving forward with plans with a lover. As someone else's feelings, it could mean that a lover is looking for greater possibilities. They are not ready for commitment. Therefore, waiting for something better to come along sums up this card from a feelings perspective.

The Three of Wands Love Reconciliation

Unity by inclusion happens naturally, the card upright can mean that even though there was arrogance or indifference in the past - then you are likely to get back together. Do you need to think about why did it end? What role did you play in the split up? By analyzing the relationship to understand why it ended can give you the answers to making it work again.  Try not to only focus on what the other party did also examine your actions and reactions. The main reason why many relationships normally fail is that one of the parties does not value the other. The wands are a passionate suit of cards, and this is positive to pull in love readings. If reversed the card can mean that yes you will get back together but there is a big question on if this is the right decision?

The Three of Wands In Health

The Three of Wands is a sturdy card showing strength in health and is a good sign for healing. Often it will be a reminder that you need to check in on your own health or that you have been taking your health for granted. With any wands card coming up in a health reading there can be problems with circulation or the heart but for this card the areas of most concern are the pelvis region and overall body circulation. It can indicate an issue in pregnancy or getting pregnant.

The Three of Wands In Work and Wealth

In work, the three of Wands represent the future. We see the man standing on the cliff looking across the sea, to the ships of trade. In work, this is a card of vision, of trying to focus on immediate work decisions. The most important element is that a new job is predicted. You need to take a step back in life and consider all the possibilities. The card indicates work and strength, dreaming beyond the possibilities in life. Essentially, he stands there watching his ships come in. He knows the ships will bring goods and a sense of reward and it urges you to look at career areas that you have not thought of before.  This card is also about returning your own happiness in work, you have put in the effort and it is time to think outside the box. Those ships will come back empty if you do not put in the last bit of effort. Don’t expect that suddenly overnight you will have sudden success, you have done all you can to move forward now is a time to wait, taking a long-term view.

There is no need for that merchant to walk down the hill this point, he is just waiting patiently but knowing that results will come with time. This card brings with it the message of re-evaluating career or business plans, becoming a visionary leader rather than an employee. The threes are connected to teamwork and this in work can imply that you will become a leader pulling together a team. The threes are also associated with opportunities to grow, but it will take time and longer than expected. In work, this card means progressing, teamwork, creative endeavors, being inspired and long-term plans. To some degree the Three of Wands indicates a new job, working with others and capitalizing on your own skill-base.

Regarding everyday work, now may be a good time to bring on some new team members or seek help and assistance. A project that has taken full focus in your life may a bit too much to handle on your own and you want to consider seeking outside resources to get the job completed correctly. Again, there is nothing wrong with asking for help and by bringing in some fresh energy the work you are doing right now is likely to be infused with needed creativity or innovation.

In the case that you are struggling to find work, the Three of Wands can indicate a need to revamp your resume or change the way you are approaching your search. Also try looking in new avenues for work such as different papers or internet sites, expanding the search area that you are looking in, or looking in a different field than you generally would not consider. This is a time for expansion and exploration. This card is all about sending something out and gaining success in return. Such as if you apply for a job you will get an interview. If you start a business you will gain success. In regards to wealth, the Three of Wands is a positive card indicating that hard work will pay off.

The Three of Wands Yes Or No

The Three of Wands is quite an adventurous card,  if you pulled this card for a yes or no question then the answer is definitely “yes.” This tarot card is associated with looking towards the future and having a sense of responsibility then this card is a positive omen.

The Three of Wands Friendship

If your tarot question relates to friendships then the Three of Wands card is connected to spiritual and earthly personalities. It can mean you did feel limited in a friendship/relationship or felt frustrated in someone’s decision-making process. It could also indicate that you feel restricted by a friend's personality. There is also an element of jealousy within this card.

The Three of Wands Past - Upright and Reversed

Appearing in the past position of a tarot spread, this card shows that you have encountered either psychic or clairvoyant foresight. It is not uncommon for those with “psychic talents” to see this particular card in the past position. If you’ve been struggling the past with a work-related task then this is a card that foretells you’ve kept on going and reaped the rewards.

The Three of Wands normally show up when patience is required. It can also suggest that efforts that have been made have not gone unnoticed. The Three of Wands can signify a business venture and leadership in the past. In a reversed position the Three of Wands can mean there have been business problems or worries and that has affected you.

The Three of Wands Present - Upright and Reversed

In the present position, the upright Three of Wands tarot card can indicate boldness and self-confidence. It is also related to enterprises and bringing either two or three people or ideas together. In the previous card (two of wands) we’ve seen a decision that needs to be made,  in the three, we are seeing the wheels put in motion. The ship needs to “set sail” and the card is focused on internal forces being at work. 

There is also a focus on long-term planning and visions of the future. This card is positioned in the present context (in the spread) it’s important to understand that you need to gain the bigger picture in life,  additionally trying not to overlook minor details. There is also a possible need to travel or moving towards a goal. In the reversed position, there could be a fear of treachery or feeling isolated from other people. There were specifically setbacks but situations are likely to improve going forward. I often see this card in the reversed position when there is either a delay or loss of friendship. 

The Three of Wands Future and Outcome - Upright and Reversed

The Three of Wands is a journey and this is a lucky card to land in a future/ outcome position if upright. The number "three" suggests that the ship is coming in. Drawing the Three of Wands in a love reading is positive. Emotions (if a relationship reading) are equal and that you are getting "a move on" with what you really want. In a friendship or relationship, two people will go well together but it may not turn into a full-blown romance. 

The three is also about getting told the truth, so one can work on the options that present themselves. The Three of Wands as a love outcome can indicate that two people want the same thing and are trying to work together to figure out what they want. The “love” is set in motion. In regards to other parts of life, the three in future positions can mean a new project, money or wealth. The card is also about patience because it can be a slow process and a waiting game. Reversed as future/outcome this card can mean that there is planning required and that waiting is important. 

The Three of Wands Advice - Upright and Reversed

In terms of advice, the Three of Wands indicates that you need to focus on finalizing business decisions, booking travel or making sure that goals are set. There is a need to focus on the future rather than keep looking back on the past and in relationships either finish the relationship or move on. Reversed the advice is to think about your hopes and dreams and follow them. Normally reversed meanings are adverse but not in this case. It means to listen to your inner voice when you need to make a decision.

Reversed Three of Wands in a Reading

A bad decision has normally been made when this card appears reversed. That is, the consequence of someone else and the sense of guilt often comes as part of this card. Perhaps you are feeling a reduction of self-respect and negativity which has impacted your own self-image. When you feel yourself feeling guilty or you want to remove yourself from negative feelings this card normally appears reversed. It could nee something as simple as over-eating or facing problems with others. When dealing with loss or the feeling you have made a “bad decision” comes helplessness associated with sadness. We normally fight against the feeling but eventually, this will catch up with us. But remember, a loss is part of life. Without it, we cannot make good choices!

The reversal of the Three of Wands can be a card of warning and reminds you that you need to look in on yourself rather than having a focus on the world or everyone else. Sometimes it can indicate that you are being too nosy or stirring up trouble. It can also tell you that you need to work on centering yourself because you are getting distracted and allowing yourself to be pulled in too many directions. When the Three of Wands has reversed the positive power from the card is tipped upside down and whereas you would normally be reaping the rewards of success, you are likely floundering amidst chaos and turmoil in your life. To set your life back on the right path you need to get back to the basics. Focus on the foundational aspects of your relationships, finances, and health. You will know what areas are causing you the most concern and it is up to you to set them right. Be especially mindful of your own negativity and blaming others when you are responsible.

The Three of Wands Reversed - Love and Romance

Drawing this card reversed in a love reading can suggest that there is going to be communication and commitment in the future. Upright the card indicates putting in foundations, therefore when it is reversed can mean that something is not finished or you are unsure of which way to turn in love.  In regards to going forward, the reversed card means you need to think outside the box perhaps you need to close a life chapter.

Family and Home - The Three of Wands Reversed

This card suggests you are being audacious, daring and confident when it comes to family matters. You may feel you have taken on more than you would like to and family members keep on placing demands. At one extreme, you display arrogance but also fear of deceit which is causing you to feel cut off and isolated.

Work, money, and finances - The Three of Wands Reversed

The Three of Wands card appearing reversed for family life is connected to our own unconscious assumptions and expectations that may cause problems. When projected on to others (such as immediate family) this card means that you may find engagements or new social situations when it comes to work. If you have been struggling work-wise this card can indicate that happiness will soon be yours. There could possibly be something that is lacking money wise. 

The card in the reversed position can indicate that you have made a decision but it might not have been the right one, it means channelling ones energy into making the wrong choice. This can also imply that creativity and money could be squashed because of problems. The most important aspect is to learn to ride this out. Don't spend too much money and work on your career.

Health and Wellness - The Three of Wands Reversed

In regards to medical procedures, the reversed Three of Wands is positive. It can mean good health. There may be difficulties in putting plans in place or possibly that you may be experiencing blockages of creative inspiration. The Three of Wands reversed also suggests that there might be more to something in life than you had hoped. Such as taking risks or problems.

Personal Spirituality - The Three of Wands Reversed

In regards to spirituality, this card can indicate that a decision was made - but not the right one. This could possibly impact upon your own spirituality and happiness. We all make difficult choices in life and bad decisions can often lead to extended problems. Maybe you have married the wrong person? Or you’ve gone down a dangerous road? Perhaps you’ve made a life choice whereby you’ve fallen out with others?  We all behave in various ways that we don’t want to. For example,  We can overeat, smoke cigarettes, gamble, or stay in a relationship that is no longer healthy for us. 

The most important takeaway of this card (appearing reversed) is that we must recognize our bad choices. It’s not rocket science or difficult for one to say. The card has appeared in the reversed position because problems need to be resolved and one's perspective and beliefs need to be reviewed. Perhaps true wisdom means developing one's own personal belief system in the universe in a peaceful way without frustration or anger.

The Seven of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

The Seven of Pentacles is a fruitful card reflecting abundance and growth.

It is a prosperous card and indicates good times leading in your life or around your life at this time. The card says that you need to focus on the end result as you are going to live with your harvest no matter what you sow. You may find that you look down at what is growing in your life and not like what is coming up. It really depends on what you have been doing so far and what you are expecting back. This is a time to take a look at your own actions and consider change of course if needed. If you have been putting forth a solid effort you are likely to find a healthy return on your investment.

When you see the Seven of Pentacles in your reading it’s a good time to take a step back and think about areas in your life where you need more work and where you are doing well. It’s about seeking balance in your own life and measuring your value and worth in order to progress further in the right areas of your life.

Depending on what other cards are in your reading the Seven of Pentacles will have a different influence. For example if it is paired with decision making cards like Justice or the Judgment card then you need to focus on making decisions which will allow you the most reward. The Two of Cups and the Lovers card will indicate that you may be seeking positive changes in love. Regarding the reading be sure to take stock of the entire reading in order to not be misled by the multitude of possibilities that can be associated with this card.

The Seven of Pentacles in Love

In the case of love the Seven of Pentacles shows that you may want to take a step back and assess your own emotional situation. Areas of success in love often come from a good balance of effort and communication just as areas that are failing will come from a lack. The card really emphasizes that what you put forth will be received. It is similar to the Six of Pentacles in that your actions are directly related to the outcome of your situation. However, with the Seven of Pentacles the reception of your reward is dependent on the amount of time and energy spent. Any relationship will flourish or fail based on how it is cared for and nourished. You are reading a make or break point within your relationship at this time where actions to help the relationship to thrive are needed before there is a failing of some kind.

The Seven of Pentacles in Health

Now is a great time to reflect on the areas of your health in which could use a bit more care. You may find that right now there are areas of your own life where you are feeling burdened and these are taking a toll on your health. Now is a time to take action so that further injury does not occur. The Seven of Pentacles is a generally positive card for health when looking at it in the general or overall sense. Even issues that arise this time that seem huge are likely to turn out not as bad. For example, if you find you have a lump or a cyst it could be scary, but the chances are higher right now that it would be a benign issue that could be easily rectified as long as you immediately follow the proper protocols.

The Seven of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Consider the approaches that you are taking when it comes to work and finances at this time. It’s a great time to focus your energies on growth and being specific in your planning to what you want your end result to be. You may want to take a step back momentarily and evaluate where your finances or work situation is at right now in order to ensure that you are on the right path. The Seven of Pentacles card acts as a reminder that some attention is needed on your part before diving into a new business venture or placing your money somewhere. It is not a time to take high risks or seek out unreasonable reward. At this time slow and steady will win the race.

In work, the seven of Pentacles is all about harvesting what you sow. It can indicate the hard work of planting the seeds has been done, the wealth is growing. If you look at the picture, in a work context the seven indicates that the time is almost here. I like to think of this card as the fruits of your labors - but the time is not yet right. You still have much work ahead but you are still at the point of laying plans. This card can also be yourself looking at how much money you are going to make, not to mention the fact that you are going to get to a point where you are finding things hard going which is why the man is taking a break from building his wealth. The answer here in work is to keep on going, keep planting and above all keep your faith. It is clear based on the pentacles that surround the main in the picture success will be yours if you apply yourself. So, patience is required and further work. If you have asked about a job or been to an interview then this card in a spread indicates that there is nothing more you can do, you have done all you can. For business, the card implies that you have worked hard, there is more “reaping phase” to come.

The Seven of Pentacles In Reversed Position

When reversed the Seven of Pentacles indicates severe disappointment, depression, and in some extreme cases, loss. Where there is a good chance for growth and opportunity present with the card in the upright position… in the reversed position you are already seeing the results of your actions. Chances are that what you have sowed has failed to thrive and you are left with less than desirable results. Now is a time to avoid making a snap decision or reacting from your current situation. You didn’t get to where you are overnight and you aren’t going to get out of where you are overnight either.

The Queen of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Queen of Cups is an excellent card representing one being in control of her emotions and is a great card regarding emotions and love. More than that she is a wise queen that understands that there is a balance between emotion and intuition and seeking out a common ground for your own inner feelings of peace.

Internally the Queen of Cups shows tender love and can reflect good signs as well for feelings of spirituality and harmony. It’s an excellent time to focus on the goals that make you happy and internal love. Pending the placement of the card, there are aspects of your life that are full and like a tapestry of warm colors adding to your own internal peacefulness. The Queen of Cups is already at her station in life and she has figured out the real and true aspects of her life that are worth her efforts. She understands that not all things no matter how well that they may sound, are good options for her. It can indicate a time for you to look at your life and ask yourself if you are truly happy. You want to be sure that the energies that you are putting out into the world are going to be ones that bring rewards back to you that matter and make you feel like you have done something worth doing.

When the Queen of Cups is present you may also want to be on the lookout for an older female, usually, someone that has somewhat of a mothering personality to her. She often will be lending her assistance while you are working out issues in your life and is someone that you want to be sure to be listening to. This is someone that you can trust and someone that you can know is looking out with your best interests at heart.

The Queen of Cups in Love

In love, the Queen of Cups often knows what she wants and can be a good indicator that it is time to follow your feelings or gut about a relationship or someone in particular. With the Queen of Cups showing up in your love reading, you can breathe easier knowing that there is some fulfillment coming your way. Because the Queen is ruler over the realms of the emotional and spiritual, it is also wise to understand that there is little tolerance in your life right now for not being responsible emotionally.

There is an air of acceptance and empathy around you, but do not take that to mean that you can get away with whatever you want. Right now, the pressure is on your whether looking for love or in a relationship to be the open one and to be honest about your feelings. You are in control. You have the power and direction to make things happen in love at this time.

The Queen of Cups in Health

The Queen of Cups can be a concerning card when it comes to health because she often can be a person showing concern or care. Where concern and care are present, it usually doesn’t bode well for health. Now maybe a good time to get your check-up and just make sure everything is on track. The good news is that water is a healing element and anything you catch now should be early on and easy to heal.

The Queen of Cups in Work and Wealth

The Queen of Cups is often a good card in other areas of life, but not the best indicator for finances or wealth. Think of her as a woman not concerned with money. She likes to be comfortable, but she isn’t going out of her way to make money. For you, this doesn’t mean it’s bad news thankfully… but it doesn’t mean good news either! Now isn’t a great time to be focusing on new investments or growth in this area. The card comes up when you are superficially asking about finances can tell you that it is time for you to be focusing on other aspects of your life.

In work specifically, it is a good indicator that you need to consider what you are doing to make a living. Is what you are doing paying the bills but not feeding into your happiness? If you find that you dislike your job it is a great time to find something that is more suitable to you. Be sure to balance out all of your needs in the long run. It is also good to focus on the other cards including this one in reading to see what direction the reading as a whole is taking. Often when the Queen of Cups shows up it will be when there are concerns about happiness but a requirement is present to balance all of your current needs. Focus on what will fulfill your needs in most areas.

Queen of Cups Advice

The Queen of Cups is a card deeply rooted in emotion and intuition. Seeing it in relation to advice reading is a clear message: now is the time to look within yourself and connect with your feelings. The queen of cups naturally avoids any conflict. They represent one's “loving” side. She is the carer, the nurturer, and ensures that her family is provided for. In my view, for advice, this card is saying to act through love and trust your instincts. Be more in touch with your sensual side. The mind, while useful, can sometimes be corrupting when it comes to decision making - it races and overanalyzes while emotions are pure and true. 

Whatever the scenario you are currently facing, the Queen of Cups is suggesting you trust in the deepest part of your own nature - seek settings which are meditative and peaceful, give yourself the space to access the most compassionate and nurturing parts of yourself. All in all, this card has a message of simplicity - it runs in opposition to the quick-moving power of the mind and asks, instead, that you think with your heart. If you keep working with your natural intuition, you won’t go wrong. 

Queen of Cups Yes Or No

If you’re seeking a yes or no answer in a tarot card reading, then the Queen of Cups isn’t a clear signifier one way or the other. That’s because this card is neutral, its meaning can only be derived by the question being asked. The reader can try and gauge this meaning by reflecting on their question and the general meaning of the card, the Queen is a symbol of womanhood, virtue, and emotional wisdom. The clear link between intuition and this card could be a sign that the right answer lies inside of you. Take comfort in this card, all the seeking you must do is within yourself. Try and let your feelings roll over you, see which way they push you, and you will find the solution you desire. 

Queen of Cups Past

When the Queen of Cups appears in the past position it is a symbol of a deeply important relationship you had with a person in your past. While this can sometimes point to a male figure, it usually signifies a female presence. Whoever the person, they were emotionally intelligent, deeply caring, and played an integral role in giving you a clear sense of your own morality. 

For this reason, seeing this card in the past position could be a reminder to reconnect with those values you of a female. In this position, it can also be a call back to an event or time in your life in which you were especially compassionate or creative - perhaps it is an old hobby or project you were working on? If this resonates with you, then the Queen of Cups is likely signifying the nurturing impact this creative pursuit had on you personally. It may just be the time to think about starting a new creative project!

Queen of Cups Present 

Though the Queen of Cups has a very clear relationship with tranquility, seeing this card in your present position does not necessarily mean you are currently in the midst of a peaceful experience. In fact, conversely, it may be suggesting that you are weathering a difficult emotional period, one that requires patience and reflection. If so, this card is a reminder to connect with your most nurturing side - give all your love, warmth, and kindness to those around you. This is especially true if you have recently found yourself taking on a maternal role of care (this doesn’t necessarily have to refer to your own children, remember). To make the most of this reading, you should look to be proactive in your empathy, try and be observant of those around you and see where you can help. You have a bright light within you, your creativity and compassion may be the saving grace for someone close to you. 

Queen of Cups Future and Outcome

When The Queen of Cups is related to future and outcome spreads, it signifies an upcoming chapter where you will need to draw from your emotional and spiritual knowledge. When the time comes, you will need to muster your strength to say consistent and calm, no matter how trying the situation. The Queen is a symbol of sensitivity, but also composure - she listens and reflects before she reacts. Try and draw strength by practicing your own endurance in even the most difficult and stressful situations. This upcoming period may be hard for you, others around you will likely be swept up in the chaos and become reactive, but if you can remain patient you will be the saving grace of those closest to you. It may not be an easy role to take on, but it is one that will leave you stronger, more mature as well as filling others with a deep sense of gratitude for your unwavering support and empathy. 

Queen of Cups Love Reconciliation

As a card with a clear connection to emotion, the Queen of Cups is generally a positive card to draw in a love and reconciliation reading. If you’re enquiring about a past relationship, it likely points to a nurturing romantic partnership, one in which emotions run deep and are entirely authentic. It is likely you will get back together. If you’re experiencing trouble in your relationship, it suggests that being emotionally open will benefit your mutual development. Now is the time to talk about your feelings and be open to both of your own unique perspectives. 

If you are single, this card is a signal that a loving experience is coming your way. It might be time to start meeting new people and develop new connections. Remember, this card is all about trusting your own instincts and appreciating people fully, not just on the surface level. Don’t be deterred by anything superficial. Instead, seek real emotional intimacy and you might just find your soulmate. 

Queen of Cups As Feelings

Encountering the Queen of Cups when trying to understand how someone feels about you should inspire reassurance. Just as this card is full of gentle feeling, the person you are curious about is brimming with positive emotion, they definitely feel very warmly towards you. However, it is worth noting, that as this card exists primarily in the emotional realm, this person may not be aware of just how deep their feelings for you go. We can store a lot of emotion in our subconscious, but trust that their true sensibilities will make their way to the surface eventually.

This card may also suggest that someone feels protective of you. They see your sensitivity and may interpret this as fragility. It’s true that if your nature aligns with the Queen of Cups you may be best-matched with someone with a strong rational who can balance out your dreaminess. However, never forget to trust in the strength and power of the emotional, creative realm you’re so in touch with. It is fine to trust in a person who wants to take care of you, but be wary they don’t clip your wings or limit your imagination.

The Queen Of Cups In The Reversed Position

Reversed the Queen is still present but lacking direction. In the reversed position she can show erratic emotional states. The emotion is there but there is a lack of control and it will often show that there is a more serious underlying issue at hand. With the Queen not in control there is havoc in the castle and in your own life even you may find that you are surrounded with rumors, innuendo, or dysfunction. Now is a time to be on your guard and to walk on eggshells. Be careful how you react and ponder ways in which you are not being reasonable emotionally. Do not allow yourself to get overextended or emotionally exhausted as it is bound to cause problems in your relationships, friendships, and at work.

The Queen of Cups is a great card to see in a friendship reading - it is a card of love and community. It points to the power of embracing friends fully and not being afraid to give them all of your love and support. If your friendship group is feeling shut off at the moment, this card is a reminder that there is no better time to reconnect than right now. If a close friend is going through a difficult period, then the Queen of Cups suggests that you should extend your friendship and use your powers of reflection to offer valuable advice. This is a good time to exercise some selflessness - all the goodness and help you bestow upon a friend will come back to you in the end, anyway. 

Queen of Cups Reversed - Love and Romance

While the Queen of Cups upright highlights the balance and power of emotional tranquility, when reversed it can refer to instability. In a love and romance reading, this is likely to relate to insecurity and jealousy. Are your feelings getting the better of you? Some emotions, such as love and happiness, are very useful driving forces, but negative emotions, such as jealousy or resentment, can cause a lot of harm. This card reversed is a gentle push telling you to reflect on your actions, take a step back, and see if your own behaviour has been fair and measured. If it hasn’t been, now may be the time to make amends by letting go of any feelings of bitterness. Now is the time to focus on your intuition - don’t let your head be clouded with the green mist of jealousy. 

If you are single, the Queen of Cups reversed is a reminder you should proceed with caution. There is an imbalance of emotions in your life right now, and this is not a good state to be in when entering a relationship. Vulnerability can draw in bad-natured people who will see your fragility as a chance to exert power and take advantage of you. If you’re looking for direction, this reversed card implies that time spent restoring emotional balance is important. Seek personal security and inner peace before you begin looking outside yourself for love. The only person who can truly rebalance your feelings within is your own self. 

​Queen of Cups Reversed - Family and Home

Seeing the reversed Queen of Cups in a family and home spread is a prompt to the reader that now is the time to rediscover love in the home. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that love is the core of every family. When you see this card reversed you should take heed: everyone in your home should try and adjust to a more positive outlook. Perhaps the family has become overrun with anger, stress, and instability. This reading may even be highlighting a particular person (possibly yourself), and likely a woman, someone who was once the foundation of the family has become untethered, leading the rest of the family to become insecure as a result. That isn’t to say this woman is entirely to blame for the situation, merely that she has reached her emotional limit. To restore harmony, family members should look to find new ways to express gratitude for each other and display their love. When people feel appreciated it is much easier to overcome resentment which might otherwise seep into the everyday. Female intuition and compassion can amend this and restore harmony in the home.

Queen of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

In a work and finance context, the Queen of Cups reversed may be highlighting work stress or a burden of emotion relating to your financial situation. You may be overworking and leaving yourself in a fragile emotional state. 

If you’re feeling unsure about your career choices you may also be suffering from indecision, and allowing yourself to become overwhelmed with emotion. Whatever the case, you’re likely feeling unsatisfied. When reversed, this card is a signal that you need to evaluate your situation and your options. Are you feeling stunted creatively? Are the conditions of your work-life leading you to feel stressed? Are you spending money frivolously and then inflicting financial worries? Take the time to fully assess what’s going on in your life and then plan to take action. While you may have been reactive in the past, now is the time to change all that by reflecting deeply and carefully on your career choices and what you can do to make yourself happy and secure going forward.

Queen of Cups Reversed - Health and Wellness

The reversed Queen of Cups in a health reading may be highlighting stress or overexertion. If you’ve been spreading yourself too thin recently, then you should think about taking a pause and giving yourself the rest you need. You may be busy, but in the long run, you’ll only burn out if you keep on at the rate you’re currently operating. Remember that you have to take care of yourself before you can properly take care of others. The result of all this rushing around may also be impacting your emotional wellbeing - when you’re stressed, you’re more likely to be sensitive and if you’re not careful one small comment could be the straw to break the camels back. All in all, the reversed Queen of Cups in this kind of reading is a call to stop and rest for the benefit of your health. 

Queen of Cups Reversed - Personal Spirituality

Seeing the Queen of Cups reversed in a personal spirituality reading is a sign of limited potential. It may be the case that you’ve been ignoring signs to reconnect with your spiritual side or that you have allowed yourself to become so over-saturated with emotions your intuition is not functioning like normal. In some cases, the reversal of this card actually suggests you have psychic abilities that you are not exercising. To remove the spiritual blockage try meditation. Slow down and, with time, you will find yourself back on your predestined spiritual path. 

Queen of Cups and Judgement Combo

Judgment in readings is about letting something go, moving on, even after something that made you feel worthy. The queen of cups indicates that you are seeing things more clearly in a love relationship. Typically under the circumstances, the combination of the Queen of Cups and judgment can indicate that you need to release yourself from a difficult relationship and the advice is that someone will make a difference to your life. That it is important to let your feelings go when you see this combo.
