Tarot

King of Cups

divination

A king sits on a stone throne floating on a turbulent sea, holding a cup in one hand and a scepter in the other. A fish leaps on one side, a ship sails on the other. Upright, the King of Cups represents emotional balance, diplomatic wisdom, calm authority, and mastery of feelings without suppressing them. He navigates emotional waters with grace. Reversed, it warns of emotional manipulation, volatility, moodiness, or using emotional intelligence for selfish ends.
