King of Cups
King of Cups — a ruler who keeps feelings and power in balance: a difficult combination.
Upright Position
Maturity, diplomacy, the ability to manage emotions without suppressing them. The person others come to for advice.
Reversed Position
Emotional manipulation, hidden resentment, emotional coldness behind a mask of concern. Sometimes — addiction.
In love and at work
In love — a reliable but reserved partner. In career — a leader who knows how to defuse conflicts.
Suit
Cups are the suit of Water: feelings, relationships, mood. The King is a figure of authority and responsibility: the one who governs the suit's theme and answers for it. A court card describes a person or a role someone is playing — possibly you yourself.
The card's advice
Manage your feelings rather than suppress them. Stay calm where others lose their heads.
