From The Classic Tarot, the Queen of Cups; from the Constellations Deck, Lacerta:
The Queen of Cups extends her chalice, an offer to nurture and encourage us on an emotional and spiritual level. The lid on the cup symbolizes the sacredness of its contents - her compassion, tender gentleness, deep listening and kindness are a valuable offering to others. Do I realize just how beneficial and necessary this act of benevolence is to my well-being and the well-being of others? Lacerta ('lizard' in Latin) suggests soaking in the sunlight of such an offer, even if the delivery is a bit clumsy, and to remember to pay some of that sunlight forward. That cup of kindness has the ability to sow a feeling of belonging in both the giver and the receiver, something the world really needs.
A generous heart is always open, always ready to receive our going and coming. In the midst of such love we need never fear abandonment. This is the most precious gift true love offers – the experience of knowing we always belong. —bell hooks
