The King of Cups Tarot Meaning
The King of Cups is a card that can represent our emotional maturity and can help us better understand why we deal with certain emotions in different ways. Working with the King of Cups can allow us to gain control of our emotions before they get the better of us or start to cause issues that may take more work over a longer period of time. This is all done in a way that allows for a greater deal of understanding, forgiveness and empathy. Whether you’ve made a mistake or you’re dealing with someone else who has made one, the King of Cups can help you to see things from a compassionate but logical standpoint.
All of these things make this card a great energy for seeking advice. When you embody the King of Cups, you might be encouraged to look inside and be your own advisor. If you’re being urged to seek out a King of Cups, then it may be that you’re in need of some sound and empathetic advice from another. The King of Cups is an energy that can be perfect for dealing with difficult situations, especially if a compromise is needed in order to find a solution or outcome that suits everyone involved.
On the more extreme end of the spectrum, this card can be manipulative, using its cunning logic to use emotion for its own gain. It can also bring awareness to selfishness, and when you may be blinded by your own desire to do what’s best for you and your well-being, but without thinking about the feelings of others who may be involved.
