In love
Queens love with depth and protection, holding space for others to grow. Their path is to receive as well as give — care is not a one-way door.
At work
Queens are the heart of teams: mentors, editors, stewards. Their gift is making others stronger; their risk is doing everything themselves.
The growth path
The lesson of the Queen is trust in the growth of others. She protects the garden, but the plants must climb on their own.
