In mysticism
Within mysticism, the queen of clubs is known as "The Mother of Intuition Card", and takes qualities from both the Queen and Clubs. Queens are considered to have a subservient nature (however, the Queen of Spades "don't know the meaning of subservience let alone play the part", and male Queen of Spades can also have a temper). This, coupled with the mental nature of clubs associates this card with "publishing trade, secretarial work, or...psychic work". As Queens, they are aware of their place in society (the "royal court"), and resist change in character. As the Three of Hearts is its displaced card, The Queen of Clubs represents "indecision about love and friendship" and means it is hard for them to find success in these areas. The card is also known as the "Mother Mary" as many of have children who they are forced to make sacrifices for, ("just as the Virgin Mary had to undergo the sacrifice of her son Jesus"). The Queen of Clubs "often has two jobs and does best where there is some creative expression and freedom of movement". While they are very organised, they live life at a frantic pace which can often leave them stressed out. They often have a quest for knowledge, and are "impatient and intolerant of ignorance or mental laziness in others". Queen of Spades also have one of the strongest intuitions of any of the cards.
CafeAstrology.com explains that by dealing the card, the description on the page is relevant to a woman that you are "thinking about...very involved...or someone new entering your life soon". The site says that the card indicates a "dark-haired, confident woman", "a woman with Fire signs predominating in her chart...who "may give you good advice", or a "positive and stable relationship between partners".
In The Eight Clubs, the Queen of Clubs signifies: "An affectionate woman, but quick-tempered and touchy". If the card is reversed, it symbolises jealousy and maliciousness.
