The Queen is an influential, calm, stable, intuitive and compassionate figure. I love the description of this card in the hand book from the Mary Hanson-Roberts tarot deck."This queen drinks deeply from the cup of life."
This is one of my very favouite cards and for me I consider it to be an example of how I intend to live my life. For some, following one's intuition rather that their intellect as this queen represents, can be a daunting and frightening way of living, as there seems to be a lack of control and most people want to feel in control of their lives. We can have a modicum of control of our lives, in that we choose and control our own behaviours, no one else's.
I see letting go of control, as being a good thing, when it comes to life generally, because we can't control most things that happen in our lives. This has everything to do with acceptance, and living life on life terms and understanding the one constant in life is change, and we have to learn how to adapt to change.

To "drink deeply from the cup of life" does indeed require an open heart rather than an armored one! To be so vulnerable can be scary to most folks and takes practice.
Absolutely Bev! Being open is to be vulnerable and learning to let go, is not easy at all but it's when we learn the most about ourselves.
Thank you for your comment Bev and I hope you are having a good Summer <3
