The Queen of Cups is focusing on feelings and emotional matters. She has a gentle, receptive and passive nature and she can be a great helper, healer and counselor. Ill-dignified, the Queen of Cups is the personification of the drama queen. The the Eight of Cups signifies dissatisfaction and it's expressing the desire to withdraw, to walk away from a situation, to change, as we hear the calling of a new or different future. In some cases the Eight of Cups can even indicate betrayal. As a combination, the queen of cups and the eight of cups shows a change of direction and the strong presence of a woman who will somehow affect the situation.
The elements of the cards are Water (Queen of Cups) and Water (Eight of Cups). The elements are neutral and rather friendly to each other, but they can lead to excessive passivity or inertia, trying to maintain what's already there, reluctant to make a drastic move.
