king of cups

Overview

Oh, the King of Cups. What a warm and loving card that can, interestingly, come off in two very different ways. Most intuitively, this card can appear as a confident and powerful person who’s very in touch with their emotions. Not so intuitively, it can also appear as a person who’s somewhat aloof despite having a rich and warm inner life. It just takes a little while to get to know them. In either situation, the King of Cups is someone who’s learned a great deal from their relationships and has navigated difficult waters to understand how to work with their own emotions, boundaries, and needs.
