Combination of card Death and card Queen of Cups

Despite the initially strange combination, the upright position of Death and the Queen of Cups indicates profound changes. Death symbolizes the end of one phase and the beginning of another, while the Queen of Cups, as an empathetic and intuitive card, supports these changes, filling them with deep emotional context. This could be, for example, the end of an old job and the beginning of a new one, where you will use your emotional skills.

When the Queen of Cups is reversed and Death is upright, the situation changes. Instead of support and empathy, the reversed Queen may indicate emotional exhaustion or withdrawal. Transitions and changes, symbolized by Death, can be challenging if you don't find an appropriate emotional outlet. This can impact areas of life where empathy and understanding are needed.

If Death is reversed and the Queen of Cups is upright, it indicates a delay or postponement of necessary changes. You might fear these changes or try to put them off, but the Queen of Cups reminds you to accept emotions and intuition. At the same time, it could be a way to control events, allowing changes to happen at their own pace.
