Each Queen rules in her own domain. When a Queen shows up in a reading, ask yourself what kind of energy are you channelling?
The Queen of Wands expresses a creative energy. In decks where wands are fire, she has a fiery, passionate personality with a quick temper. Her style of mothering is to 'flash' her temper, yell, then get over it and hug -- all within one hour! She's self-confident and happy.
The Queen of Cups expresses a loving energy. She normally has a warm, loving personality. Just stay on her good side, because if you make her angry, you will regret it! She is moody and emotional to the extreme. Her style of mothering tends to be rather erratic. She is particularly loving and giving, when she is in a good mood. When angry, she has a tendency to play mind games and play on your emotions rather than mete out physical punishment.
The Queen of Swords expresses an intellectual energy. She communicates her ideas well. Don't think you can win a debate with her. Chances are, she will drive her point home and be outta there while you are still trying to marshall your thoughts. On the same note, don't ever lie to her. She can spot a lie a mile off. Her style of mothering is fair and just. If you set the couch on fire, admit it, take the tongue lashing and get over it. She will have forgotten it as soon as the lecture is over.
The Queen of Pentacles expresses practical energy. She is the original Earth Mother. She's the one with the rows of home-canned goods on the shelf in the root cellar. She is able to work a full-time job, take care of the children, keep the house clean, and still have time to read the financial section of the Wall Street Journal. She probably has a little nest egg tucked away in a few bank accounts that no one knows about. Her style of mothering is practical. The punishment always fits the crime. Color on the wall? Here, take this wash cloth and clean it up. All done? Good. It's forgotten. You will be responsible for your own actions, and she will make sure of it.
When the Queen shows up in a reading, look at the position the card lies in, then ask yourself how you are acting (or reacting) like the Queen in that position.
When the Queen shows up in the 'passing away' position, for example, ask yourself in what way you reacted recently to this situation that resembles the Queen? Or, is there a person passing out of your life who resembles the Queen? What situation is coming to a close that had the same energy as the Queen?
