Reversed Card Meaning

Unfortunately, certain cruel elements of this world like to take advantage of pure souls that embody goodness. Or, people are so used to this person being a source of support that they do not realize they are draining them.
The Queen of Cups reversed represents what happens when all the energy flows out of the Queen. The nurturing, caring person has been used by others and is now feeling drained or burnt out. Perhaps you have been giving too much of yourself to other people. There is not always honor in martyrdom. Take time to direct your compassion towards the person who most needs it at the moment, yourself, and rebuild your strength so you do not find yourself dependent and withdrawn.
Alternatively, the Queen of Cups reversed could represent a person who is cruel and dishonorable. Perhaps they have become so discouraged by seeing the cruelty of the world, they decided to join its vices. If this description resonates too closely, try to find the old compassion within you before you are no longer able to recognize yourself.
