Rank = All Queens = Water
I consider all the Queens as far as their rank among the court cards as being associated with the element of water. I also consider this to be their secondary element. Their primary element is the element associated with each of the suits of the given Queen.
Queen of Wands = Water of Fire
Queen of Swords = Water of Air
Queen of Cups = Water of Water
Queen of Pentacles = Water of Earth
Arrange the elements to ranks or even the elements to suits in any way you choose.

Using the number system I use I put the queens at 13/2. Which would break down like so;
13 - Death [card] - The endings, transformations, transitions, and changes that come with being a female.
1 - The Magician [Outer awareness]
3 - The Empress [The mother figure, creativity, growth, nurturing]
Total of 1+3 = Key 4: The Emperor [authority, will-power, structure]
Rank-wise you have Key 2: The High Priestess [inner awareness, intuitive, instincts, secrets, mystery]
Total of 1+3+2=6. Key 6: The Lovers - [relationships and choices].
As you can see you can define all the Queens using the numbers 13/2. Using their individual suits/elements you can break them down even further.
