Inward-Looking

From the Tarot of the Secret Forest, the Queen of Cups; from the Faeries' Oracle, the Glancomer:

The Queen of Cups would be lost in a room of talking heads, expounding theories and discussing statistics. But in the element of water - emotions and relationships - she is at home. Tibetans say that people are either like a dog or a lion. Throw a stick for a dog, and he chases it. Throw it for a lion and he looks to see where it came from. She is the lion, inward-looking; she does not blame her feelings on the actions of another because she has no control over their behavior. But she can consider what part of herself is being poked and work on that. The Glanconer is a fairy of illusion and delusion who uses people's desires against them. In this regard, the Queen's intuitive abilities can be of benefit. If her eyes tell her how wonderful and sumptuous something is but her gut is tightening into a knot, she's going to listen to her intuition.
