King of Cups

The King of Cups tells you that you're in tune with both your emotional state and your intellectual state.

Upright position meaning

Much like his counterpart, the queen, pulling the King of Cups means you're in tune with both your emotions and your intellect, meaning you know and understand how to balance the two, sometimes opposing, states. The King of Cups is a fair and balanced ruler. When you're able to balance both feeling and intellect, you have a deeper and truer understanding of yourself. You're aware of your limits, but also of your capabilities.

Reversed position meaning

The King of Cups, when reversed, indicates that perhaps you've fallen to the more negative aspects of the king - emotional manipulation, moodiness, and control. You may be taking situations and manipulating them to fit into what you want the ultimate outcome to be. Be sure that you quickly check yourself before you alienate everyone from your life. No one wants to be around someone dominating, manipulative, and overly emotional.

Advice meaning

The King of Cups is telling you to listen to your emotions, but not to be swayed by them. Allowing your emotions to control you changes your life.
