What the Queen of Hearts Means
The Queen of Hearts is the warm-hearted woman: in the old descriptions fair and affectionate, a loyal friend, a mother, a wife, a confidante. She stands for the person in your life who loves without keeping score, and for the quality of that love in you. Her advice is emotional honesty. Her weakness is sentiment, giving so much that she forgets herself. Drawn for a question, the Queen says the answer is found through feeling and through a trusted woman's counsel.
Queen of Hearts in Love
A loving, faithful partner, or the arrival of one. If you are asking about a woman, the Queen of Hearts is a good sign of her feelings. For anyone, she advises leading with warmth and trusting what your heart already knows.
Queen of Hearts in Work and Money
A supportive woman in your working life: a mentor, a kind manager, a colleague who looks out for you. Caring work, hospitality, teaching and healing all come under her. Be generous but keep a boundary.

The Suit of Hearts
Hearts are the suit of feeling. They speak about love, friendship, family, the home and everything that is decided by the heart rather than the head. In a reading, a run of Hearts means the matter is emotional at root, and that the answer will come through people rather than through money or effort. Hearts are generally good news; even the harder ones (the Seven, the Five) describe a feeling going wrong rather than a disaster. Old cartomancers gave the suit the spring, and matched it with the Cups of the tarot.
The Queen in Every Suit
The Queen means a woman, or the suit's quality grown mature; the suit decides where.
