What it means
↑ Upright
Warm, assured and impossible to overlook, she holds a flowering staff and a sunflower, a black cat at her feet. She may be someone in your life, generous and spirited, who takes an interest in you and your success; or the way you are asked to act — visibly, leading with confidence and warmth. Take up the room your work has earned.
↓ Reversed
The warmth narrows. At best it turns practical — thrifty, obliging, useful to everyone; at worst, which Waite allows only when unfavorable cards lie beside her, it sours into rivalry and jealousy. In another person, kindness with strings attached; in your own conduct, a confidence that needs to win every room. Give freely where nothing is owed back.
What's on the card
The queen sits on a throne whose arms are carved with lions, a staff in leaf in her right hand and a sunflower in her left, with more sunflowers worked into the throne behind her. Lion and sunflower both belong to the sun, the suit's fire at its warmest. The black cat seated at her feet is commonly taken as her independence and the quieter, intuitive side of a nature Waite calls more magnetic than the king's.
Waite's meaning, 1910
Upright
A dark woman, country-woman, friendly, chaste, loving, honorable. If the card beside her signifies a man, she is well disposed towards him; if a woman, she is interested in the Querent. Also, love of money, or a certain success in business.
Reversed
Good, economical, obliging, serviceable. Signifies also—but in certain positions and in the neighborhood of other cards tending in such directions—opposition, jealousy, even deceit and infidelity.
