The Queens in the Tarot are the mothers of the court card family.
They often represent women, but they can also relate to men, who display feminine traits (e.g. nurturing and caring) or need to get more in touch with their feminine side.
Together with the Kings, the Queens in the Tarot have authority and lead by example.
They are the ones, who take care of the emotional and nurturing aspect of their leadership, as they are linked to the element Water.
Other characteristics include maturity, experience, stability, confidence.
In a reading, the Queens may indicate people, such as a person surrounding the querent or the querent him/herself.
They can also suggest an energy surrounding the querent or character traits that need to be developed or avoided.
