The card poses a question of challenge at its core: Does the change align with what is right, or does the querent think in a binary way, swinging between good and bad? It encourages the querent to rise like the phoenix from their own ruins. It represents a change that comes from understanding rather than from unconsidered action. The card also expresses sexuality.

Representation of the Card in a Reading

In a tarot reading, the tarot deck is divided into three parts: the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana (which is divided into cards from Ace to Ten), and the sixteen Court Cards. Processes begin in the realm of the spirit, represented by the Major Arcana. From there, they move to manifestation in the material world, represented by the Minor Arcana, where the question is asked about whether the manifestation will occur. The answer of yes or no is given by the Minor Arcana cards. When Court Cards appear, they convey a message of opportunity. The Prince, Queen, and King represent the zodiac, while the Knights represent significant events that will mature the person and allow them to turn the event into an Ace, marking a new beginning.

The Queen represents feminine energy. In nature, females are often the active ones; for example, the lioness takes care of the cubs and hunts for the food for the pride. This energy is proactive, performs tasks, and ensures stability and continuity. The Queen’s typical behavior involves taking risks, creating changes, and being true to herself, her feelings, her actions, and her beliefs. The opportunity provided is one of simplicity, calmness, flow, and change without revolutions.
