Queen of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

“Embrace and honor your emotions.”Queen of Cups (Upright) | Tarot CardThe Queen of Cups views feelings as sacred, because they reveal life to us in vibrant colors.

She is nurturing, caring, and encourages her people to see the value of their own feelings and emotions. The Queen of Cups sees sensitivity as something that makes one strong, not weak. Feelings allow us to experience joy, excitement, love, bliss and rapture. The Queen of Cups reminds us to be grateful for our feelings, even when they cause us pain. After all, feelings give life complexity, color and dimension.

So many people nowadays are afraid to feel. We are told “don’t be so sensitive,” as if feelings make us weak. We are told to “toughen up.” This is especially true for boys, who above all else are not allowed to be sensitive or weak, although many girls are increasingly experiencing this too. The trouble with this, is that we all have feelings. Denying our feelings leads to imbalance internally and with the world around us. The more emotions that are bottled up, numbed or not experienced, the more living we miss out on. Many people avoid feeling because it might hurt. However, this is just fear chiming in again. Fear robs us of experiences that could potentially bring us joy.

Are you uncomfortable with your feelings?

Are you afraid to be open because someone or something might potentially hurt you? Do you bottle up your feelings and deny they are even there?

Cups and water in the tarot symbolize feelings and emotions. The Queen of Cups places her feelings in the most precious chalice of the entire tarot. Her cup is gilded in gold and adorned with angels. Just looking at her cup’s beauty brings the Queen joy. This symbolizes that she honors feelings as something sacred. The Queen of Cups sees the worth and value of feelings because they give life color and complexity. To prove this point, she is surrounded by colorful beach stones.

If you’ve ever collected stones on the beach as a child, you’ll remember that when they are dry, they are rather dull. However, if you placed these stones in water, suddenly the stones become alive with vibrant colors and textures. The vibrancy of the stones is revealed through water. Likewise, a dull or boring life, can reveal its complexity if you open yourself to feeling it, instead of being detached from it.

To experience the vibrancy of life, follow the Queen’s example and look for beauty.

Beauty activates emotional responses that feel good. Science confirms that beauty releases pleasure from the brain and into the bloodstream. Buy some flowers or beautiful art for your home or work environment. Admire the beauty in the natural world around you. It’s everywhere! Cherub-like undines decorate the Queen’s throne. The Queen of Cups is especially loving and protective of children and is a caring mother.

Look for what appears to be just dull beach stones in your everyday life. View these things through the lens of your feelings. Open yourself to the rapture of experiencing love and beauty. Watch life’s vibrancy reveal itself to you.

The Queen of Cups does not avoid her feelings. She takes them all: the good, the bad, the hurt, the sad, the love, the joy, the grief, the hope and the happiness. She places them in her sacred chalice and honors them. Your feelings give life dimension, complexity, richness, color and meaning. Honor them.

When the Queen of Cups represents another person, she is a kind, nurturing and maternal figure. You can trust her advice and her influence. She really cares for others deeply. She is also sensitive, has an eye for beauty and great style. If she is a parent, she is the best sort. Queens can be mature individuals of any gender who wield strong feminine power.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, the Queen of Cups encourages you to be vulnerable, even if it feels scary. It is time to connect. Experience your life rather than hiding from it. Your sensitive heart is your greatest asset in your quest to find love. Allow it to remain open and curious.

Two of Cups Reversed Tarot Meaning

“Communication is Key.”Two of Cups (Reversed) | Tarot Card
When the Two of Cups appears reversed, it highlights miscommunications in relationships

It also asks you to take responsibility for your part in intensifying or deescalating conflict. The large lion head on the card represents ego. Many of the miseries we experience in our relationships are rooted in pride. Sometimes this card can indicate you are experiencing the ego of another. When encountering wounded egos, it is important not to activate your own ego in response. This has the same result as throwing gasoline on an already raging fire. The Two of Cups reversed asks you to talk less and listen more. Be open and curious about what others have to say.

In relationships, the dance between two people often revolves around mutual understanding and respect. Yet, when the ego enters the fray, that dance can turn tumultuous, each step weighed down by pride and miscommunication. The reversed Two of Cups advises us to be mindful of this delicate balance. In the shadow of misunderstandings, remember that every relationship requires a gentle touch and a willingness to see beyond our personal perceptions. When pride casts its heavy shadow, seeking clarity and genuine connection can bring back the harmony that may have been lost.

Are you open to seeing their perspective and stepping out of your own head to restore harmony when necessary?

In the Two of Cups tarot card, a loving couple is depicted being separated by the staff of Hermes, the Greek messenger god of communication. At the top of the staff, there is a giant lion’s head with wings, representing each person’s sense of pride. Even though they are very different from each other, it’s crucial that they feel that their differences are acknowledged, respected, and not belittled. If either party’s ego is wounded, the lion head can easily overpower the relationship, causing severe damage to what was once a loving partnership. To ensure harmony, both individuals must communicate in a way that makes each feel equally important and valuable while preserving their personal dignity.

The Two of Cups encourages you to see the other person’s point of view and communicate in a way that affirms everyone’s dignity. This applies not just to personal relationships but also to business partnerships, friendships, and family members. The message of the card is that none of us can make it to where we are alone. Cooperation is essential to survival in this world.

People you love need to know that they matter. Don’t assume that they already do. Give them a thoughtful gift or send them a loving message. Take a moment to see the divine light in their eyes and acknowledge how much richer they make your life. By communicating in a way that restores harmony, you can strengthen your relationships and ensure their longevity. Don’t wait – start communicating with your loved ones today.

The Two of Cups reversed is the harbinger of resolution to misunderstandings and miscommunications with others.

Let go of your pride, your need to be right, and your need for the last word. Stop wasting energy on pettiness or conflicts. Do your part to bring light and healing to the world. There is no need to exacerbate already raging conflicts. Send love to those who’ve hurt you and be okay with peacefully walking away from those who are not receptive to resolution at this time. Send them love from a distance. The Two of Cups represents the old saying that “you can lead the horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” Raise your personal standards of what a healthy relationship constitutes for you. Accept only the best for yourself and be selective about who you trust. Air out old issues and finally let them go. This will free you from a wounded ego. Rise above all the traps set by your ego, or the ego of another. Reestablish harmony by surrendering pride.

August 2025 Tarotscope | Tarot Readings

Athena’s Owl & Your Tarot Forecast for AugustHello everyone & a happy August 2025 to you!!

I can’t believe July is already over…it really just whizzed by. So much has happened, and I’ve been really looking forward to sharing it all with you in this month’s newsletter. 🙂

I wanted to start with a truly humbling experience. I was fortunate enough to fulfill a lifelong dream by traveling to Greece to explore the Peloponnesus. I’ll never forget standing before the ancient Lion Gate at Mycenae, walking the palace of Agamemnon, and just feeling the immense history in places like the royal tomb of Atreus & Hera’s temple outside of Argos . It was a truly magical time, & I still get chills just thinking about it. 🏛️

From there, the journey took me to Athens for the Panathenaia, an ancient festival honoring the goddess Athena. In the ancient world, people would weave a new peplos (a robe) for her sacred statue. 👘 What made this so incredible is that modern-day weavers actually recreated this tradition!! It was such an honor getting to walk in the procession for this festival, going through the streets of Athens, and witnessing them clothe the Athena’s statue with her new robe, all under the watchful eyes of the Acropolis.

The most magical moment came on my very last night. I was on the roof of my apartment, looking over at the Parthenon, when an owl (Athena’s sacred bird) flew close and called out to me. It was really unforgettable, and I somehow managed to catch it on video! 🦉 I feel so lucky to have captured this little bit of magic… I’ve posted the video on my YouTube channel, along with a few quick photos from Greece. Take a look below!

🦉 Watch the Owl Here!

…and right after returning from Athens, I had the honor of speaking at the TABI Summer Tarot Conference. I presented a masterclass called “Whispers of the Goddess: The Divine Feminine in the Tarot.” Tap the title and take a look if you’d like, too! 🙂 TABI was a wonderful meeting of some of the greatest talent in the UK tarot community and beyond, the loveliest people, and I learned SO much from the other fantastic presenters. 

Looking ahead, I’m gearing up for the UK Tarot Conference happening here in London this October! It’s going to be another exciting gathering, and I hope to see some of you there.

Death Tarot Card Meaning

“Accepting change fearlessly.” Death (Upright) | Tarot CardThe Death card is the tarot’s most notorious symbol for change and transformation.

Many people are afraid to sit at a tarot reader’s table because the “dreaded” Death Card might show up! We’ve all seen the movies where the dark and mysterious fortune teller turns over the death card, to foretell someone’s ghastly end. In actuality, the Death card is an invaluable card to get in a reading. It indicates that you are undergoing vitally important changes,for your own good. Although not always welcome, and sometimes shocking to experience, the changes before you are the next step in your personal evolution. Although Death outwardly appears frightening, he is ALWAYS accompanied by rebirth. Like the legendary Phoenix, you too will rise from the ashes to live a joyful new life again, revitalized and renewed.

Do you struggle with accepting change?

Does fear of death, keep you from living your life? What old, unneeded, part of yourself are you resistant to letting go of, even though you know it would set you free?

Death appears astride his white horse, heralding an end to old ways. His steed marches over kings and commoners alike. No one is immune from his power. All must change. Everything that lives must die. Death’s banner is a white rose on a black background. This is stark symbol of a truth that is “black and white.” Light and life (the white flower) always emerges after darkness and death (the black background). Although his skeletal face looks scary, Death is not a monster. Nobody wants to see Death, even though he has the thankless job of kindly ending suffering. Death cannot be bargained with, and eventually visits us all. The King under the horse found that out. No amount of money could put off this day for him. The adolescent girl in the card averts her gaze, unable to look Death in the face. The priest has been preparing for Death his whole life, and yet even he kneels uneasily. The priest reminds us of the fixed quality of the Hierophant card. Death shows us that change is coming, whether our own fixed beliefs allow for this eventuality or not.

Only the fearless little child in the foreground holds a flower up to death. Children don’t get scared of change the way adults do. Children don’t fear death, because they don’t understand a fear of the realm beyond. It’s a land filled with infinite light, where they were just residing not too long ago. What’s so scary about a realm of infinite peace, release, joy and laughter?

Look closely at the background of the Death card, past the river, way up in the distance where the two towers form a gate. A realm of light lies beyond, represented as either a rising or setting sun. Whether the sun is rising, or setting is unimportant, for as the sun is setting here, it is simultaneously rising there. Could that be a “shining city” illuminated in the sun’s radiance?

Overcoming your fear of change is the requirement of this card.

I find it fascinating that the card that we associate with change in the tarot, is also the card that elicits a twinge of fear whenever many of us see it. This illustrates that change, no matter how positive the promised outcome, is still scary. And yet change is inevitable. Much like the boat in the distance crossing the River Styx, you need to cross over into the next phase of your life. In nature, that which cannot change and adapt, becomes extinct.

The changes occurring for you are leading you to new life. Other cards that surround the Death card will indicate what part of your life is undergoing change at this time. Have courage and let go of all that you no longer need. The light of rebirth awaits you.

Two of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

“Making peace with the in-between.”Two of Swords (Upright) | Tarot CardThe Two of Swords symbolizes making peace with the feeling of being “in-between.”

In between life stages, in between jobs, in between relationships, in between projects, in between moving situations, in between friendships, in between career goals, in between big plans, etc. This card advises you to find your center amid the transformations swirling around you. The truth is, we are always in a state of “in-between” somewhere in our lives. The Two of Swords illuminates that the place in your life that feels unresolved, is precisely where life’s greatest magic is happening.

When we face the uncertainty of the “in-between,” it can be challenging. We might feel stuck, unsure of our next steps, and may long for clarity and resolution. However, the Two of Swords teaches us that sometimes the journey and the process itself hold more value than the destination. By embracing the uncertainty and ambiguity, we learn to trust ourselves, develop patience, and deepen our insights.

Decisions will eventually need to be made, but not out of haste. Consider gathering more information, seeking advice, and meditating on your choices. Remember, it’s in these quiet moments of contemplation and reflection that true wisdom emerges, guiding you towards your next steps with clarity and confidence.

Two of Swords for August 1 2025What feels uneasy or unresolved in your life?

Is this “in-between” situation making you anxious about the future? Can you be at peace with not having everything completely figured out right now?

The figure on the Two of Swords is also in between. She is in between the land and the sea. In between the new moon and the full moon. In between the two swords she is holding. Yet, she is in a pose of complete balance. The Two of Swords is the minor arcana compliment to the major arcana’s Justice card. However, the woman depicted here is blindfolded. This symbolizes that she can’t see what is coming and may not possess all the facts yet. Yet, look how calm and centered she is. She has accepted not seeing with her eyes because she is at peace with her center, with the core of who she really is. She’s okay with not having everything figured out. She’s accepted being “between the worlds.” She knows that the in-between times are where the magic of the natural world happens. Symbolism of distance and isolation pervade this card. The woman confidently wields the powers of her own inner sight.

In nature, the in-between time is at dusk or dawn, and it is magical. At dusk all the animals get ready for the transition to night. The birds excitedly chirp for their companions to come roost for the night. The quiet deer come out of hiding to drink at the pond. The owls rise and call to one another. The light in the sky transforms. The atmosphere at sunset stirs and the winds begin to gust. The clouds glow in shades of violet-pink and golden-orange. If you witness this, there is an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility during this “in-between” time. This is how Nature illustrates “in-between.” Nature guides us to experience serenity amid transition.

The Two of Swords asks you to make peace with the area of your life that is still in-between.

It reflects Nature, where twilight leads to night, then followed by dawn. The “in-between” time is where your higher-self is most alert. The lessons you are currently learning are making you wiser, stronger, and more aligned with the center of who you really are. Your best potential is manifesting.

You are exactly where you need to be, and everything is transitioning perfectly. Each experience, each challenge, is a step in the journey of transformation, propelling you toward the best version of yourself. The transition may seem uncertain, but it’s unfolding flawlessly, aligning you with your true purpose.

Know that you’re not adrift but on a course charted by your higher self. Just like the arrival of dawn after twilight, you’re moving towards the best version of yourself. Trust in the process, and acknowledge that you are exactly where you need to be.

Remember, it’s in these quiet moments of contemplation and reflection that true wisdom emerges, guiding you towards your next steps with clarity and confidence.

Two of Swords for August 1 2025What feels uneasy or unresolved in your life?

Is this “in-between” situation making you anxious about the future? Can you be at peace with not having everything completely figured out right now?

The figure on the Two of Swords is also in between. She is in between the land and the sea. In between the new moon and the full moon. In between the two swords she is holding. Yet, she is in a pose of complete balance. The Two of Swords is the minor arcana compliment to the major arcana’s Justice card. However, the woman depicted here is blindfolded. This symbolizes that she can’t see what is coming and may not possess all the facts yet. Yet, look how calm and centered she is. She has accepted not seeing with her eyes because she is at peace with her center, with the core of who she really is. She’s okay with not having everything figured out. She’s accepted being “between the worlds.” She knows that the in-between times are where the magic of the natural world happens. Symbolism of distance and isolation pervade this card. The woman confidently wields the powers of her own inner sight.

In nature, the in-between time is at dusk or dawn, and it is magical. At dusk all the animals get ready for the transition to night. The birds excitedly chirp for their companions to come roost for the night. The quiet deer come out of hiding to drink at the pond. The owls rise and call to one another. The light in the sky transforms. The atmosphere at sunset stirs and the winds begin to gust. The clouds glow in shades of violet-pink and golden-orange. If you witness this, there is an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility during this “in-between” time. This is how Nature illustrates “in-between.” Nature guides us to experience serenity amid transition.

The Two of Swords asks you to make peace with the area of your life that is still in-between.

It reflects Nature, where twilight leads to night, then followed by dawn. The “in-between” time is where your higher-self is most alert. The lessons you are currently learning are making you wiser, stronger, and more aligned with the center of who you really are. Your best potential is manifesting.

You are exactly where you need to be, and everything is transitioning perfectly. Each experience, each challenge, is a step in the journey of transformation, propelling you toward the best version of yourself. The transition may seem uncertain, but it’s unfolding flawlessly, aligning you with your true purpose.

Know that you’re not adrift but on a course charted by your higher self. Just like the arrival of dawn after twilight, you’re moving towards the best version of yourself. Trust in the process, and acknowledge that you are exactly where you need to be.
