Water of Fire, the He of Yod, referred to Binah: fire made fluid and constant. She rules from 21° Pisces to 20° Aries, joining the Neptunian sensitivity of Pisces to the impetus of Aries.

Ill-dignified, she becomes vindictive, tyrannical, jealous, quick to nurse a grudge.

Reversed

In the Thoth tradition a reversed card is read through its dignity with the neighbouring cards; this is its shadow side.

Wounded self-esteem, possessiveness, pride; or energy held back for fear of shining.

In love, work and spirit

Love. A warm and passionate partner; a relationship founded on trust and passion.

Work. Charismatic leadership, confident management, creative projects.

Spirit. The guarded flame: the inner fire fed with constancy.

Crowley's note

The Queen of the Thoth deck, crowned with the winged disk, sits in contemplation amid flames, with a leopard at her side and a thyrsus topped by a pine cone: the force of fire controlled and serene.
