Symbolism of the card
A queen in a golden robe sits on a throne decorated with lions, holding a tall wand in her right hand and a sunflower in her left. Sunflowers and lions also appear behind her. At her feet sits a black cat, looking straight at us.
The lions are courage and the sign of Leo; the sunflowers are warmth, joy and the turning towards the sun. She sits with her legs apart, open and self-assured. The black cat is her intuition and independence — and a hint that she has a mysterious, even fierce, side that should not be underestimated.
