King of Cups
Upright
The King of Cups symbolizes emotional control, calmness, and the ability to maintain diplomatic balance in any situation. He is the master of his feelings, possessing the wisdom to lead with both heart and mind without being overwhelmed by either. This card represents a time of professional and emotional stability where your maturity allows you to be a source of support and wisdom for others. You possess the peace of the deep sea.
Reversed
The reversed King of Cups indicates emotional manipulation, volatility, and a loss of inner control. You may be using your understanding of human nature to control others or feeling that your internal 'calm' has been shattered by suppressed anger or insecurity. This card warns of unreliability and a lack of emotional integrity. It is a call to face your internal storm and restore your balance through honesty and self-discipline.
