King of Cups
- calm
- maturity
- diplomacy
- balance
Upright
The sea rages around him, yet the King of Cups sits still. He shows emotional maturity: feeling everything without letting feelings take over. In your question, he asks you to meet the situation with calm and kindness. Listen first, then respond. Your balance can become a support, for yourself and for others.
Reversed
The calm is only a surface, and beneath it a storm is brewing. Perhaps you push feelings down to seem stable, or your moods steer more than you want to admit. The King of Cups reversed asks you to give your feelings an honest outlet before they find one on their own. Who can you talk to openly?
