Alright, so I decided to spend some time with my tarot deck today. Been feeling the need to connect, you know? Specifically wanted to explore the whole love and relationship vibe using the Queen of Cups as a focus point. She always feels like the heart of emotional matters to me.
First thing, I grabbed my go-to deck. It’s worn in, comfortable, feels right in my hands. Cleared off my little table space, nothing fancy. Just needed room to shuffle and lay things out. I didn’t do a big ritual, just took a few deep breaths. Really tried to quiet my mind and focus on that feeling of love, compassion, emotional understanding – all the stuff the Queen of Cups brings to mind.
Getting into the zone
Then, the shuffling. I shuffled for quite a while. I don’t have a set method, sometimes riffle, sometimes just mix ’em around messy-like. The important part for me is doing it until it feels ‘done’. While shuffling, I kept thinking about that Queen, picturing her, thinking about what she represents in love – being intuitive, caring, maybe a bit vulnerable too.
I decided not to do a complicated spread. Sometimes less is more, right? I just wanted to pull a few cards with the intention of getting insight around love, specifically channeling that Queen of Cups energy.
The Cards Pulled
So I cut the deck, drew three cards. And guess what? Middle card, bam, Queen of Cups. Sometimes the deck just knows what you’re asking, it’s kinda freaky but cool.
The other two cards were interesting too, but that Queen right in the center felt like the main message. Seeing her there, looking so calm and holding her cup, it just reinforced that idea of needing emotional honesty in love. Like, really being aware of your own feelings and being open to your partner’s.
- Feeling your feelings fully.
- Being compassionate, not just to others but yourself too.
- Trusting your intuition when it comes to relationships.
That’s what jumped out at me. It wasn’t about predicting anything specific, more like a reminder of the approach to take. Be like the Queen. Be receptive, be kind, be emotionally present. Don’t close off.
My takeaway from the session? Pretty simple really. The Queen of Cups, especially for love, is a nudge to lead with your heart, but in a mature, aware way. Not getting swept away by every emotion, but honouring the ones that are true and communicating them gently. It felt like a good, grounding practice session. Spent maybe 20 minutes total, just me and the cards, thinking about that loving Queen energy. Good stuff.
