The Queen of Cups is a card used in Latin-suited playing cards (Italian, Spanish, and tarot decks). It is the queen from the suit of cups. In Tarot, it is part of what tarot card readers call the "Minor Arcana".
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]
