The Queen of Hearts symbolizes a sincere, loving, tender hearted woman, as well as a mother figure. The flower which appears in all four suits represents self-growth; queens are mature feminine energies who are in full control of themselves. The Queen of Hearts is intuitive, creative, and compassionate.

Elephants represent many things: they're symbols of luck and prosperity but they are also powerful beings that use their mighty strength to remove obstacles and negative forces. Elephants represent wisdom, long life, memory and vitality.
