Queen of Cups

Overview

Mature empathy — the ability to see and hold others' feelings without losing yourself. Depth without dissolution. In a person: the one others come to with what hurts.

Reversed

Empathy becomes codependence — you take on what's not yours because you don't know what to do with it. Or emotional withdrawal as defense against overload. Also: excessive drama.
