Queen cards: Which Queen calls to you?

Which one represents you, your mother, your cousin, your friend? Draw a card from the four of them and see who appears — or simply read the descriptions below and notice which queen feels most aligned with who you are right now.

Each queen in the tarot embodies a powerful archetype: the wise and grounded caretaker, the creative and loving muse, the sharp-minded strategist, and the passionate leader or femme fatale. You might see these qualities in yourself, or in the women who have shaped your life. Maybe your mother carries the steady warmth of the Queen of Pentacles. Perhaps your best friend radiates the playful spark of the Queen of Wands. Or maybe you find a little bit of each queen living within you, emerging in different seasons of your life.

If you have more than one tarot deck, take the assignment deeper: Gather all the queen cards from every deck you own and draw from your collection. Notice how each artist’s interpretation shifts the energy. Who represents you then? How does the imagery change how you see her?

Below, I share my take on the queens from Tarot of the Haunted House by Lo Scarabeo — this is one of my favorite decks for exploring the shadowy, mysterious side of the cards. In this deck, the queens really do empower you.
