Description
This cups tarot card shows the King of Cups sitting on a stone throne. He is the king of the suit of cups. He is dressed in a blue tunic and a gold cape, which symbolize his status and authority. A fish pendant can be seen in his neck, pointing to his creativity. The cup in his right-hand stands for emotions, while the scepter in his left hand symbolizes his power. It is also always good to know about the opposing card, the King Of Cups Reversed.
The fact that he doesn’t look at his cup as in other cup court cards means that his attention is elsewhere because he has gained control over his emotions.
He rests his feet on a granite block in the middle of the sea. On one side, a fish jumps out of the waters, while on the other, a ship tries to tame the turbulent waters. From these images, we understand that even in crises, the king remains calm.
