DESCRIPTION: A beautiful woman, the Queen of the Water Thrones, intuitively tries to determine the contents of a closed goblet, the handles of which are made in the shape of angels. The lid of the goblet conceals its contents, indicating that many of the Queen's creative impulses are unconscious. Her throne is decorated with water nymphs and rests on a seashore covered with pebbles. Elements: Water-Water.

EXPLANATION: The Queen is lost in daydreams and relies more on her imagination than her common sense. Pulling this card indicates that emotions are currently playing an important role in your life and perhaps the degree of your personal relationships is very high. You are a loving, gentle person. Your experience is useful to others and your opinion is valued. However, you often get lost in your thoughts.

MEANING OF THE REVERSED CARD: You are willful, bitter and prone to exaggeration. If you are called upon to help others, you will not be very reliable or level-headed enough.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT LESSON: Insight comes from within, and it is important to remain open to receiving inspiration from a deeper source. However, you should be discerning so that you are not distracted by unrealistic desires.

(N. Drewry “Tarot. Step-by-step guide to learning")

The Queen of Cups, personifying the feminine aspect of the element of water, means subtlety of feelings, empathy, imaginative thinking and readiness for self-sacrifice, symbolizes healing, strengthening power, as well as a look inside oneself. Thus, she controls the unconscious forces of the soul. This is a fairy and wise sorceress who lives inside us, a soothsayer who interprets our dreams, a clairvoyant who helps us find our way in the fog. It is sometimes called the “dark map” because the origins of its wisdom are hidden and cannot be known through rational thinking.

JOB: Here this card means a period of peace, waiting, when we listen to ourselves in order to grasp the further direction of professional development. Or turning our talent to think in images into a profession: cinema, television, radio, writing, journalism, sometimes esotericism, occultism, quite often art, mainly music.

CONSCIOUSNESS: Our consciousness is tuned to perceive images of the subconscious, reflecting both our desires and premonitions, as well as our fears and nightmares. These images can become a source of inspiration, much needed in artistic creativity. On a deeper level, the card may indicate that we are approaching the restoration of the integrity of our “dark side”, which is described by C. G. Jung in his famous book “Dream Symbols in the Process of Individuation.”

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: A period of subtle, mysterious and sensual intimacy, complete mutual trust and attention to each other. Or - an indication of our need for this, the need for a loved one.

For centuries, people have been using the Tarot to discover the unknown. Today anyone can ask a question to the ancient deck. To do this, it is enough to be able to interpret Tarot symbols. But it is important not only to understand the meaning of the major arcana, but also to know the interpretation of the minor ones. For example, Queen of Cups. It is in the group of court arcana and can mean both emotions and a specific personality.

Characteristics of the suit of cups

The entire Tarot deck is divided into two groups. The first contains the major arcana, and the second is called the minor secret deck. It includes four suits, each of which is responsible for a specific area of life. Any of the suits, laid out in a row, symbolizes a person’s life path. It begins with small and insignificant acts and ends with significant events.

The suit of cups is responsible for the emotional side of life and relationships. Contacts between a person’s inner world and the outside are determined by this symbol.

Cups belong to the element of Water, therefore in the zodiac series the suit is identified with water signs. These are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. In some interpretations, the symbols of cups are usually interpreted as representatives of these signs.

Drawing a parallel with a playing deck, cups are usually compared to worms, which also reflect the emotional side of the issue. They are responsible for love, its absence or manifestation. The suit is often called cups, glasses, hearts.

Description of the Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups is usually identified with the Queen of Hearts. This card is often called the Queen of Tarot Cups. Its meaning is quite easy to read in the image of the symbol itself. The card shows a woman sitting on a throne. Its pedestal is roughly hewn from stone. The Lady holds a closed cup in her hands. Her gaze is directed at him. A river flows at the foot of the throne. Using this symbol, a parallel is drawn with the element of Water, which is responsible for feelings and emotions. The sky above the character's head is cloudless.

The Queen of Cups is feminine. She personifies love in its most sincere manifestation. The cup in the hands symbolizes aspirations and hopes that are definitely destined to come true. This drawing symbolizes the harmony of the inner world with the outside world. The woman is peaceful and calm.

It means a map and intuitive thinking, which is also attributed to the feminine principle. The feelings of the person who received this symbol in the reading speak louder than the voice of reason. By the interpretation of fortune telling, you can determine whether it brings benefit or harm.

The closed cup also symbolizes creative impulses, many of which remain unconscious. The Queen tries to guess the contents of the cup, which represents self-knowledge and the ability to act by turning to her inner voice. But the cup also indicates excessive attention to intuition and a reluctance to hear the voice of reason.

The meaning of the minor arcana

Any card of cups, including the Queen, personifies the emotional side of the issue. With the help of these cards, Tarot describes a person’s feelings and desires. The deck indicates hidden aspects. They are intangible, but significant.

The correct location of the Lady

In the interpretation of a particular symbol, its orientation is of greatest importance. Its interpretation depends on whether the card fell in the correct or inverted position.

The meaning of the Queen of Cups in the correct position:

In the correct orientation, the card symbolizes the depth of feelings and maturity of emotions. She personifies wisdom and harmony of the inner world. The person who received this symbol has well-developed intuition and instinct. The Queen of Glasses demonstrates the true meaning of love, happiness and peace of mind.

Often, court arcana mean a specific person in the life of the questioner. The Queen of Cups indicates a middle-aged woman. She is certainly talented and enjoys success with the opposite sex. If the querent finds it difficult to determine the person, then the choice of the fortuneteller will concern the zodiac signs of the Water triad.

When determining personality, the significance of neighboring lasso will be important. For example, the Priestess next door indicates a woman with psychic abilities. The Hierophant is interpreted as a person with intense spiritual development.

Interpretation of an inverted symbol

In the wrong position, the symbol takes on a slightly different meaning. The interpretation is not categorically negative, but has a warning meaning. Brief meaning of the reversed Queen of Cups:

The reversed Queen of Cups is a symbol of using intuition in the wrong direction. The symbol represents stubbornness, willfulness and going to extremes. The selflessness of love is lost. There is no more space and devotion. The card symbolizes imbalance. Plans may be disrupted, as well as unexpected news.

Interpretation in personality analysis

The card describes a strong character. Most likely this is a woman. If the question concerns age, then the Tarot indicates 40-45 years, although these limits can shift depending on the spiritual state of the individual. A woman either belongs to high society or has achieved fulfillment in life. She is successful, her condition satisfies her.

It is possible that the card indicates a person who is creative or endowed with multiple talents. This is not necessarily fine art. There is also acting talent. If the card is reversed, it may be hypocrisy and pretense.

Question about career and finances

In fortune telling for professional activities, the Queen of Glasses card can have a variety of meanings. It should be interpreted by referring to the orientation of the symbol.

Correct and incorrect orientation

The Right Queen describes activities where a person feels harmony and calm. This could be a job that involves creativity or requires an intuitive approach. This activity completely satisfies the querent, because the deck’s response is positive. There is also inspiration that accompanies work. This meaning is enhanced by the Sun next to the card.

The Queen of Cups indicates that a person is interested in work not only financially, but also morally. Tarot advises avoiding haste and impulsive decisions. Think carefully about every step and do not forget about your intuition.

In the wrong position, the Queen of Cups indicates unpromising activity. It also symbolizes ostentatious conceit and unwillingness to take into account the opinions of others. The law is also on the sidelines, which may have negative consequences in the future.

In the personality description, the card indicates a character who is petty and quarrelsome. Gossip and intrigue revolve around him. This sign also represents an ill-wisher or competitor. The alignment where the incorrect Queen is paired with the Moon receives a particularly negative interpretation. This means quick disappointment and loss of hope.

Fortune telling for relationships and love

In a reading for personal relationships, the Queen of Cups is of great importance. The card itself personifies the ability to manage feelings, so the discovery of this symbol in a matter of love can be considered karmic. We should not forget about his position.

A layout receives a favorable interpretation if the questioner received the correct Tarot Queen of Cups in it. The meaning in a relationship of this symbol speaks of true feeling. A person does not experience the slightest selfish motives in an alliance. He is led by his heart. However, the card has a positive interpretation for women, indicating the sexuality and attractiveness of the lady. For men, it symbolizes a certain longing for strong feelings, a thirst for sincere love.

For a couple, the Queen of Cups forecast calls for strong love and the ability to withstand difficulties. This is a crystal clear feeling. The proximity of the major arcana will tell you the nature of this love. For example, Strength speaks of inspiration found in relationships.

In the wrong position, the card can give several different answers:

One partner tries to manipulate the other in the relationship. He does not have true feelings, he is driven by a thirst for profit.
One of the lovers feels loneliness, despite having a soul mate. He lacks warmth and sincerity in a couple.
In some situations, the symbol speaks of outside influence, such as gossip and slander. There is also cunning.

Sometimes the Tarot, with the help of the Queen, points to a specific person. In a love scenario, this is an angry woman whose actions are radical and can cause damage. This person harbors a grudge or wants to take revenge for being deceived.

The proximity of the cards will help clarify the interpretation. The Queen of Cups with other cards, for example, with the Hermit, indicates the inability of a person to express his thoughts and open up. The Chariot speaks of confusion in relationships. One of the partners still hasn’t decided what they are for.

Combination with other cards

Neighboring cards in fortune telling, which are always interconnected, can help in interpreting the layout. The Lady of Cups was no exception. For example, the alignment promises the questioner faith in love and unshakable optimism if the Queen of Maces of the Tarot comes across next to her.

The meaning of the Queen of Cups in combination with other cards (major arcana):

Health prognosis

A correct Queen indicates good health and well-being. The soul of the questioner is in harmony with the body. He enjoys life, including sensual pleasures, such as strong coffee or sweets. The symbol demonstrates a rapid improvement in condition if at the time of fortune telling the person is not in the best shape.

The card also warns of troubles. The Queen of Cups is identified with sex life, so its significance in this reading concerns STDs. Be careful in the ways you get pleasure from life, the card says.

Attention, TODAY only!

A polite, honest woman who will help the Questioner. The Queen of Cups finds pleasure in contemplation and reflection, hence her gift of foresight. This is a person whose aspirations and hopes always come true, although she does not give the impression of an active person. But he knows how to manage covertly, he knows underwater currents. And although her feelings often overtake her consciousness. Outwardly, she is self-possessed, but passions are seething in the depths. She may be a dreamer, but unlike the Knight of Cups, her dreams are always balanced with reasonable arguments. If the querent needs advice on love affairs, then it is worth turning to the Lady of Cups. This is a devoted friend, a beloved faithful wife or a caring mother. From birth she has a love for harmony and peace, and she gives this positive aura at any time and in any place wherever she appears. This is a woman with a sensitive and vulnerable soul, she is impulsive, tends to perceive everything emotionally and vividly, of course, with such a mobile type of psyche, she is no stranger to mood swings. The Queen of Cups is a passionate woman with strong and deep feelings. Her femininity and sensuality make her a desirable object of love and worship. Despite her deep feelings, she never fully reveals herself, which gives her additional attractiveness and charm, surrounding her with an aura of mystery and attractiveness.
Due to her impulsiveness and heightened sensitivity, the Queen of Cups tends to exaggerate everything, not only advantages, but also disadvantages. Therefore, her opinion is not always objective. Unlike the Queen of Swords or Pentacles. The Queen of Cups' mood swings are unpredictable not only for those around her, but also for herself, so at times communication with her is honey and oil, and at times like the cross of the Lord.
In a love relationship, she demands that they express their admiration in every possible way, pamper and cherish, adore and pamper. She does not see any shortcomings in those whom the Queen of Cups loves and appreciates.
Under the Queen of Cups there can also be a male character, but in this case he will undoubtedly have soft lunar or Venusian features. Often, the Queen of Cups is used as a vest who will understand and regret everything, but in the negative version, your revelations will be turned against you in the very near future.

In a negative aspect, the Queen of Cups is a capricious, hysterical, scandalous lady. Vicious, spoiled, frivolous and fickle, meddles in other people's affairs and spreads gossip, starts squabbles. Wishful thinking. Emotional imbalance, excessive sensitivity. A man without a backbone who easily takes on any shape, as long as it is comfortable and convenient.
Interestingly, the inverted Queen of Cups is both a fallen woman and a seductress. So, for example, a girl, seduced and abandoned by her lover, committed suicide and threw herself into the sea or river. And after that she turned into a mermaid or siren, who lures and destroys men in the abyss of water. She beckons, seduces, but is in no hurry to give what she promised.

Her head is covered with a fancy scarf, the dress speaks of luxury. Her shoulders are open, she is sexy, seductive and sensual. The Queen is hidden from everyone by the rich drapery of her throne room.

She is not at all concerned about the waves crashing behind her. She is given peace by her inner confidence in herself and her abilities.

Sacred meaning of the Lady of Cups

The main figure on the Arcana is the Lady. She reveals to us the true essence of a woman, who conceals within herself several female images. Since she is the personification of the sensuality of water, she first of all defines the sensual moment. This woman's feelings are mature, as she denotes a mother woman who has gone through a period of emotional outbursts. Her love is deeper.

In the Rider Waite deck, the Queen is depicted sitting on the ocean. It is he who shows the true depth of her feelings, their bottomlessness. This woman possesses all the secrets of love, she is both a lover and a mother. The angels that crown her throne speak about this.

The rocks in the background indicate that the problems are behind her, they no longer bother her, she is in peace and peace of mind. She sits on a luxurious throne, she doesn’t need to go anywhere, she no longer solves her own problems, but the problems of those who come to her.

Rider Waite very well implements one of the main meanings of the Arcana - prediction or divination. He presented it with a kind of cup, which has lunar symbolism. Such a cup gives the image of the Lady a resemblance to the Sibyl, Cassandra or Pythia.

Mythological correspondence of the Lady of Cups

In mythology, the Lady of Cups corresponds to myths about soothsayers and clairvoyants. These are the myths about Cassandra, Pythia, Sibyl.

The meaning of the straight Queen of Cups in the layout

In direct form, the Lady of Cups represents a lover for a man, and a friend for a woman. This is a wise woman whom you can turn to for advice and ask for help. To a man, this woman reveals a passionate, sensual side, she has a strong sexual beginning.

If the question concerns age, then this is a woman from 30 to 45 years old, fair-haired, with blue or gray eyes.

In layouts where personality characteristics are important, the Lady of Cups will denote certain aspects of character associated with sensuality, intuition and family relationships. It also shows the attitude towards children. If such an arrangement is made for a man, but the Lady will show his softness, tenderness, and caringness. Sometimes such men take on women's responsibilities.

The Lady of Cups, like all Ladies, does not show the essence of the situation, but only gives an understanding that a person with such characteristics is related to the situation.

The meaning of the reversed Queen of Cups in the reading

The reversed Queen of Cups will also mean the presence in a situation or influence on it from a woman who has certain traits. Namely, she is rather cheeky, sometimes even dissolute. She influences the situation through intrigue and gossip, entangles her with lies, and if she helps, it is only based on her personal interests.

Such a card always predicts a problem that is associated with excessive trust in a loved one or friend, since the Lady of Cups easily ingratiates herself into trust. The situation can be aggravated by the wrong advice that the Lady gives purposefully, probably knowing the right actions.

In a reading, the Queen of Cups inverted indicates that a person will have to face cruelty, and from a woman from whom he could never expect it.

If the Lady of Cups falls on a person, then she says that he will not be able to logically understand the situation, in which case he will simply need to rely on his intuition.

Direction of self-development

If the Lady of Cups falls to a woman for self-development, then she needs to understand that the time has come to learn to intuitively search for solutions, listen to her intuition, and not resist her sensual impulses. The Lady of Cups recommends that a man listen to his gentleness and kindness and give them free rein, without being embarrassed by these qualities.

The card requires a caring attitude towards others, self-sacrifice, wisdom and prudence. Very often, the path of self-development under the Lady of Cups is associated with the development of extrasensory abilities. If such a card appears, then we can say that the person is ready to receive esoteric knowledge.

Since the Lady of Cups is quite malleable, a person needs to develop strength of character. Otherwise, a person risks falling into the service of someone.

The reversed Queen of Cups suggests that it is important for a person not to succumb to his own illusions. He has developed intuition, but he does not understand the signs he receives, and because of this he speculates on them. All this takes a person away from reality.

For a man, the reversed Lady of Cups indicates that he needs to break off relations with some depraved woman in order to properly build his life and gain a positive experience.

If the inverted Lady of Cups experiences fears and nightmares in her dreams, then this is a sure sign that it is urgently necessary to change her lifestyle.

Job

The Lady of Cups shows that a person must use developed imaginative thinking in his activities. If possible, then you need to take up some kind of creative profession.

When choosing a type of activity, it is best to give preference to esotericism or occultism; in second place are specialties related to artistry.

The Lady of Cups says that in the team there is a certain woman on whom everything rests. This is not necessarily a boss, but rather just a leader. Ideas come from her, she tries to balance controversial issues, acts as a mentor, and gives rational advice.

If this card falls on the one to whom the alignment is made, then it warns that all responsibilities will be dumped on him, he will perform huge amounts of work, he will have to do the work for others or clean up their mistakes.

As for the material side, this card is more suitable for a hobby rather than for business.

An inverted Arcana indicates that there are no prospects for career growth, and the person himself demonstrates feigned intelligence, passing off erudition as it. Such a person has inflated self-esteem, which prevents him from realistically assessing the situation.

The problem in work is intolerance for the mistakes of other people, as well as the willingness to sacrifice people or the law for one’s own goals. In the role of a boss, such a person will bully his subordinates and create unbearable working conditions for them.

The card indicates a person who creates chaos in the team, weaves intrigues and gossip. Moreover, he does this better than work. Such people usually have lies, seduction, distortion of facts, and slander in their arsenal. As a rule, such a person throws hysterics, which excites the entire team.

Personal relationships

The Queen of Cups in an upright position has a dual character. Firstly, we can say that between the partners in the union there is a certain woman. It can represent a love triangle. Most often, it is familiar to both partners. Perhaps for a woman she is a friend and at the same time a lover for her man.

Secondly, this card can also show the attitude of one person to another, especially if it falls on one of the partners in an alliance. This attitude is characterized by affection, care, tenderness, and trust. When building relationships, such a person is guided by the dictates of his heart, and not by rationality and prudence.

If such an Arcan falls on a man, then it can speak of a man’s desire to see a woman nearby who will surround him with love, tenderness, sensuality, care, and will also be sexually attractive.

For a lonely person, the Lady of Cups means that such a person will not remain alone for long. She tells the woman that, having the qualities of the Lady of Cups, she will always be desirable to men. She promises a man a new meeting with a sexy and caring woman, but if there are negative Arcana nearby, then the Lady of Cups will only show a dream about such a woman. This does not mean that he will not have an acquaintance, but the woman he meets will not meet his desires.

The inverted Lady of Cups in relationships in an alliance shows, just like the upright one, the presence of someone third. But if in the upright position this woman does not pursue the collapse of the union, then in the inverted position she strives for it. She uses the dirtiest methods for this. She can spoil the wife’s nerves, slander her husband, and do her best to ensure that the woman herself becomes the initiator of the collapse.

If the High Priestess (II Arcana), the Devil (XV Arcana) or the Minor Arcana of the suit of Swords lies nearby, then we can talk about a magical effect - a love spell, turning a man away from his partner, spoiling a woman.

If the card falls on one of the partners, then it indicates that this particular person behaves negatively in the union: betrays, deceives, cheats, and often these can simply be promiscuous relationships. This partner may abuse alcohol.

For a lonely person (man), the reversed Lady of Cups speaks of a meeting with someone special, which could become fatal for him. He may be influenced or manipulated by an unworthy woman. For a woman, such a card promises loneliness.

Personality characteristics

The upright card characterizes a woman as sexy and loving, caring and attentive. She surrounds all her loved ones with love and is a great friend.

Such a woman is honest and virtuous. People come to her for advice or help, and sometimes just to be there to calm down. She always has time and mood to communicate with those who need her. She is often helped by good intuition and even a prophetic gift to give advice.

In some matters, such a woman is passive, but this passivity is caused by her dislike of haste. She must definitely feel any decision, and only after that will she take any measures.

If this card falls out to a man, then it characterizes him as soft, kind, loving, caring. Such men make loving fathers. He is romantic, knows how to love and attaches importance to feelings. As a rule, such a man becomes very attached to one person, be it a woman or a friend.

A man characterized by the direct Lady of Cups fully possesses masculine logic and feminine intuition. The only dangerous trait in this man’s character is his predisposition to alcoholic beverages. This does not mean that he will necessarily become an alcoholic, but there is such a danger.

The reversed Lady of Cups characterizes a woman as a depraved, unscrupulous person. They love intrigue, gossip, deception, discussion and condemnation. She exhibits instability of character and mood. She can be hysterical. In some cases, she shows mental instability.

Very often such a woman goes into illusions and believes in her own lies. Sometimes she can even escape from her problems with alcohol or get carried away with a riotous lifestyle. A distinctive feature of such women is capriciousness, vanity, inflated self-esteem and a constant desire to interfere in other people's affairs.

The inverted Lady of Cups speaks of a man as a pampered, capricious person who is very hysterical. He is distinguished by depravity, licentiousness, frivolity, and vulgarity. Often such men become alcoholics.

Quite often this card describes a man of non-traditional sexual orientation. He is vicious, dishonest, deceitful, loves to slander.

Health

An upright card indicates excellent health, while an inverted one will indicate problems with the digestive system, especially the stomach. Like any Cups inverted, Arcan speaks of alcohol addiction.

The Queen of Cups is not an indicative card in situational readings. She actually doesn’t describe her in any way, but only says that inevitably in the life of the person for whom she is making the alignment, there is a woman who influences the processes taking place.

In an upright position, such a woman has a beneficial effect on any situation. She can act as an assistant or adviser, also as a person on whom the outcome of the situation depends. Such a woman is either in a friendly or related relationship with a person.

For a man, this Arcanum can mean influence on the situation from a mistress or a loving woman.

Sometimes the card indicates that it is necessary to seek advice from such a woman.

In an inverted position, the Arcan indicates a negative influence on the situation on the part of some person. It manifests itself in deliberately incorrect advice, deception, fraudulent actions, intrigue, gossip, and pitting people against each other.

This woman, as a rule, initially had credit for herself, but due to her obnoxious character, she is now deliberately ruining the situation. This could be a former or current friend or relative.

Card of the day

The direct Queen of Cups means a meeting with a friend, a pleasant and relaxing pastime. It can also indicate the arrival of a relative.

In an inverted position, the card promises deception or misbehavior of a friend. If there is a party on this day, it may be fraught with danger.

Card of the Year

It's going to be a pretty quiet year. We will have to help people a lot, take care of them. The family will require attention this year. For a woman, this year can be a turning point: she will reveal herself as a woman, openly show her sensuality and sex appeal.

The inverted Arcanum warns that during the year you can expect trouble from a friend or relative. It is necessary to be attentive to any information coming from a friend, especially to her advice: it is very likely to run into deception, intrigue and a fair amount of negativity.

Arcana Council

The Lady of Cups advises to give free rein to your feelings, to show concern for others, and not to be ashamed of your sexuality and femininity.

Card meaning

The suit of Cups in the classic Tarot shows the emotions, feelings and relationships of people. It helps to reveal the connection between a person’s internal state and the external world.

The Queen of Cups of the Tarot, otherwise known as the Queen of Cups, has a feminine origin. It is a symbol of sincere love, harmony of body and soul, as well as the inner self and the environment. The river depicted on the card signifies the sensual and emotional sides of life, and the cup that the woman holds in her hands signifies dreams and desires that must be fulfilled. The bowl also symbolizes creative potential, which is not always possible to reveal.

Sometimes the lasso reports a violation of plans.

Love spread

The meaning of the Lady of Cups Tarot in fortune telling for love and relationships also depends on her position in the reading.

Straight position

A direct card speaks of real, sincere feelings. In a relationship, a person is absolutely selfless, he is controlled by love, he is ready to make sacrifices for the sake of his beloved. If the querent is a woman, then the Lady of Cups in the reading indicates her sexuality and attractiveness. If they are telling fortunes for a man, then this lasso speaks of a lack of deep feelings, a desire to love and be loved.

When a couple is guessing about their future together and the Queen of Cups appears in the scenario, this means that the partners love each other very much and thanks to this feeling they are able to overcome all obstacles on the path of life together. Based on the major arcana that fell along with the Lady, it is possible to determine the nature of love.

Inverted position

One of the partners is a manipulator and insidiously manipulates the other partner to obtain benefits. He does not experience sincere feelings, his words and behavior are just hypocrisy. Sometimes the Queen of Cups indicates one partner's feeling of loneliness, despite being in a relationship. This person lacks tenderness, sensuality and openness on the part of the second partner.

In some cases, this lasso shows the influence of external factors on relationships: ill-wishers, gossip, lies, slander, etc. And if the card points to a specific person, then this is an angry woman who was offended, deceived, betrayed, and now she thirsts for revenge and is ready for desperate acts that can seriously harm a couple in love.
