Queen of Cups as a person
A compassionate, intuitive person who holds space for others' feelings.
As a person, upright
Compassionate and intuitive, this is the one people confide in, a calm presence who understands without needing everything spelled out. They offer emotional safety and depth. Their care is steady, and their instincts about people are often right.
As a person, reversed
When their boundaries dissolve, this caring character can soak up everyone's moods and lose track of their own. They may become martyred, withdrawn or quietly controlling through guilt. The shadow is care that has nowhere to rest.
