Last in our exploration of Scorpio on the tarot -but not
least - Scorpio in the court cards. But which one – or ones? Different traditions have different
astrological correspondences when it comes to the Court Cards. Generally
(but not always!) these correspondences depend on how cardinality, fixity
and mutability have been assigned. As
Scorpio is the fixed Water sign, I’m looking for the Cups court card that’s
associated with ‘fixed’-ness.

So what court card does this represent? If you work with a system that assigns the
Fixed mode to the Queens, you’re looking at the Queen of Cups. An
example of this is the Sharman-Caselli (pictured here), where we have the Queen
on her throne, surrounded by water.
Through carrying the fixed qualities, the Queen of Cups can be seen as
being in control over her emotions and very self-contained – strong Scorpio
qualities! She also trusts her instincts and is very intuitive and in touch
with the watery world of emotions. Feelings cannot be ignored – or only at your
peril. Other Scorpio traits which could
be seen in the Queen are seductiveness and mysteriousness!
