I think I best fit queen of pentacles. But this is a hard one, I could fit the queen of cups too.

celeste	17 Jun 2003
I think I most likely reflect the Queen of Cups qualitys and personality traits, but there are days when I can identify with the Queen of Swords(independant single woman)and Queen of Wands has come up as a significator for me as well at times. Interestingly though, not the Queen of Pentacles at all.

I don't like identifying with one card. I have equal aspects of all the suits. But I voted wands to flatter myself. :)

Inana	17 Jun 2003
On readings, the Queen of Pentacles is the queen who appears more often representing myself, so i've voted for her. Anyways these days most of the time i feel like the Page/Princess of Cups...

bighairymonster	17 Jun 2003
hee hee.....I guess everyone seems to be the Queen of Cups here........

Of course in a question like this, there will always be the "I have all the aspects"-argument, and sure - we all do. Me, I've identified as the Queen of Swords ever since I started learning the tarot, and the more I learn, the more I find of her energy in me. That doesn't mean I'm single, always rational or always say nasty things to people, or that I don't have emotions, fiery passions/driveforces, or that I'm all theory and no practicality. It's all there, but honestly - I believe we all have certain aspects that are more dominant in the "big picture". Anyways: I chose the Queen of Swords because I do have the rationality-streak, the gift of communication, and I do scare ppl off sometimes, being strong and independant is a good thing in certain situations, but sometimes one wishes that shell wasn't quite so hard to see through...! Bighairymonster: The queen of Cups is the one I identify the least with, so...nope, not all! :D Jenny :)

wavebreaker	17 Jun 2003
Nope, not the Queen of Cups... ;) I identify most with the Queen of Pentacles, with the Queen of Swords a close second.

LittleWing	17 Jun 2003
well .... i think i am the queen of pentacles (her practicality, sense of business) .... followed closely by the queen of wands (leadership, outgoing). but i also have elements of the cups (intuitive) and swords (i can be cold and blunt, and independant)

Hedera	17 Jun 2003
I'm still a page, I guess.... Page of Wands by nature, but I grew up into a Page of Pentacles by nurture. And let me tell ya, that's not a comfortable fit! ;)

Mimers	17 Jun 2003
I voted King of Swords. He would best personify me. I am more of an action type person and not a receptive type person like a Queen would be. I am very good at communicating and I like to rule. I am also ready to fight if you back me in a corner. I have a pretty much a sharp mind, am a number cruncher and this suits me perfectly. If I were to pick one as a close second, probably Queen of Cups. I am very sensitive to other people's feelings. Mimi

tabbycat	17 Jun 2003
Queen of Pentacles. Definitely. I won't buy a tarot deck if I don't like my card! I'm also very picky about the Magician, the Hermit and the Page/Princess of Wands. Jilly

oceanpoetry	17 Jun 2003
Queen of Cups on most days, but also relate to Queen of Pentacles. I am thinking Queen of Cups would be my equivalent of sun sign and Queen of Pentacles would be my moon. And then I realized what a good match that actually is because I am Cancer sun sign (water) with Virgo moon (earth). Interesting that King/Queen of Pentacles so far is the most common response.

CompassRose	17 Jun 2003
I'm not a Queen. I'm the Page of Cups, talkin' to fish.

silverting	17 Jun 2003
i think im most liek queen of swords(although i have no air in my chart) and queen of pentacles........least would be cups......

raeanne	17 Jun 2003
Hi all, I just finished obtaining my Master's degree in astronomy. I guess the Queen of Swords would be the best fit for the scientist in me.

dolphinprincess	17 Jun 2003
I know there is a small part of all of them in me... Still, The Queen of Cups, without a doubt. I wear my heart on my sleeve - all emotion! Somedays that is good.. somedays, not so good !

Keslynn	17 Jun 2003
I voted Queen of Wands since that's how I am most naturally and most of the time. My little Aeclectic title is because I am developing Q of Swords traits and deliberately trying to cultivate them. Mostly I'm a mix of Wands and Swords with sometimes a little Cups thrown in there. :) Kes PS - Lotus Tarot (www.lotustarot.com) has a little test to take called "What court card are you?" or something like that. It's free so it might be fun to take it.

bec	17 Jun 2003
I may have an occasional touch of wands or pentacles in me - even got a cup inthere somewhere, but mostly reversed - I am a sword all the way, can't say - and proud of it - cause it do tend to scare peeps of and I can't stand it when they don't dare see through my veil of insecurity ..... that is me

Trogon	17 Jun 2003
At first was thinking King of Wands... but I'm not really that fiery. Then I thought King of Pentacles... I'm kind of earthy, but not wealthy and not even all that great with money. Swords??? hmmm... not really any more... So I went with King of Cups... I'm a Lover, not a Fighter... :D

anjocoxo	19 Jun 2003
I'm the Queen of wands, outgoing... and a bit queen of pentacles. No swords for me, thank you, although I'm independent I don't scare people off (only when I wake up very early on saturdays for no reason). And cups are too sensitive for me. I am a Wands person... totally Anjo

allibee	19 Jun 2003
I am that Queen of Swords .... so just watch it, LOL Seriously, I was for years the Queen of Cups, but over time I have become the Queen of Swords, but I never saw it coming .... A.

Ruby Red Slippers	19 Jun 2003
Definitly the Queen of Wands, and sometimes too firey for my own good...have been a gypsy all my life, but now lust for the Queen of Pentacles, a place to settle down and grow roots :D Ruby Red Slippers

Khatruman	19 Jun 2003
MOst definitely a wands king. Creativity, thoughtfulness, fire, are all attributes of mine.

Jewel	19 Jun 2003
Fire Queen in all her glory (good & not so good)! .... I am also quite influenced by the Queen of Cups, but the fire influence seems greater overall. (P.S. yes I am sometimes asked if I have a split personality *LOL*)

Macavity	19 Jun 2003
I think it's another example (like astro sign?) of a (surprisingly) flat distribution. ;) C'mon sword people, were falling slightly behind :D Macavity

Tor	20 Jun 2003
This is like asking which leg I prefere to walk with.... I voted Queen of swords though.......celebrating my independence.

lunalafey	21 Jun 2003
I see my self as full blown Queen of the Coin! (with 6 planets & rising in Earth!) Others see me as wands, I'd say that I do have a wand tucked away, use it on occasion.

RedWood	21 Jun 2003
I am definately a swords person....

Indigo_lady	21 Jun 2003
I think I'm in one of those moments in life in which you're changing I think I'm shifting from the Queen of Pentacles to the Queen of Wands I think it's become very important to me to switch from a passive and mellow approach to a more active role it's weird.. I feel like I'm a Queen of Wands dressed up as a Queen of Pentacles.. Don't know if that last phrase made much sense

Keslynn	21 Jun 2003
I think you have to go into the readings section, and it should be listed in the free section. :) Kes

kayne	04 Jul 2003
I voted cups although I would usually consider myself the knight of cups... rather than the king or queen. I was amazed to see how even the votes are though.... guess it makes sence with such a range of wonderful people here... :)

Le_Corsair	04 Jul 2003
The King of Swords for me, since I can't be a knight. Actually, I have a book that describes the Knight of Swords/reversed as the "loner" of the Tarot, and that is me squared! But to follow the specs of the poll, I guess I'll be a King. Not a hardship, is it, being a king? Bob :THERM :CL :WL :OL :SL

Red Emma	04 Jul 2003
I didn't vote, because what kind of a queen I am depends on where I am and the time of day...and with whom. I like to "present" like the QS, that way people kind of stand back and don't rain on my parade. When the people I like want to spend time hanging around, then I'm the QW or QC, depending on who they are and what we all want to do. A major part of me is the QP. All practical and focused and trying to keep life on an even keel. For all who enter my abode...or live here.

rebelhorse	06 Jul 2003
i couldnt really choose one court card to be either. I am each and everyone depending on the situation! Overall I would say Queen of Swords......maybe Wands. See what I mean? Which court card is the most indesicive? .........thats me!

DeLani	06 Jul 2003
I'm mostly a Queen of Swords - cold, rational, good communicator, writer, researcher...a bit sarcastic with a sharp wit and even sharper tongue. And a bit of a loner. But Queen of Pentacles comes in a close second. I am good with money, nothing makes me happier than my home and family, and I am an earth sign. I also love to garden. I'm not really energetic enough to be the Queen of Wands, and the Queen of Cups is too flaky for me.

rota	06 Jul 2003
I wish I were as perspicacious and knowledgeable as the King of Swords. At least, that's what I aspire to... On the downside of sword-dom, I know that I'm a focused, closed-minded, judgmental sort( :( ) and also a loner....

Kitty	07 Jul 2003
I voted for Queen of Wands. I usually come up as the Queen of Wands or Cups - very rarely swords or pentacles - only time I came up as pentacles was when I was pregnant interestingly. I most WANT to be the Queen of Wands but I am often the Queen of Cups. I'm cancerian with fire signs in all other houses - so that may explain it :)

Brooding	08 Jul 2003
well I would have to say the King of cups but reversed....... seems to fit me to a T at lest the reversed king of cups in the gothic tarot I have no idea what king of cups is in other decks and I dont really want to go look it up
