The King and Queen of Cups are both in control of their emotions, but unlike the Queen, the King expresses them less openly and shows more restraint.
The Energy of the King of Cups – embodied by a man or a woman – is synonymous with loyalty, commitment, responsibility and Love. Like all Kings, he is an intense Energy but less intimidating than the other Kings. The King of Cups is an excellent guide who listens with tolerance and advises with kindness. Like a beacon, he is an anchored, calming presence in the emotional ocean of those close to him. In a Draw, the King of Cups indicates that you know exactly how you are feeling and why you are feeling those emotions. This emotional maturity helps you with any difficulties or challenges that come your way. You are able to open up to others when necessary. Your measured, calm approach is greatly appreciated.
In a particularly tense situation, the King of Staff invites you to show understanding and diplomacy. Once the limits are set, you need to communicate what is acceptable and what is not in order for them to be respected. You can do this by remaining sensitive to the other’s point of view and responding to their emotional need. Finally, like all Court Cards, the King of Cups can represent a “real life” person around you or someone you will soon meet. The King of Cups then represents a gentle, caring and benevolent person. It may be an older person, the calm and zen “wise old man” who always comes up with a just solution.
In a Draw concerning finances, the King of Cups indicates your wish to regain control of your finances and a peace of mind in relation to this problem.
For this, he advises you to put yourself in his Energy in order to recognize the emotions that you have vis-à-vis your financial situation. If these are particularly negative or guilty, if they cannot help you get out of your difficulties, the King of the Cups advises you to let go to bring out emotions that are more conducive to achieving your financial goals.
The King of Cups also advises you, despite the difficulties, not to renounce generosity and sharing. Giving with kindness and openness – and not necessarily something material – allows you to reconnect with Abundance and draw it back into your life.
Playing with other people’s feelings, having short-lived relationships: very little for him or her! The King of the Cup has tamed his passing desires and his Energy is synonymous with commitment. The “ideal” life partner, mutual understanding and emotional stability are for the King of the Cups the two pillars of a strong relationship and lasting commitment.
The presence of the King of Cups is a strong sign that this person is on their way to you… they may already be much closer to you than you think! Maintain a calm and peaceful approach in your quest to be loved. Take the time to bloom feelings like a spring flower.
If you are already in a relationship, the King of Cups indicates that everyone is growing emotionally in the relationship. You might like your partner to “grow up faster” and show more consideration for your feelings and desires… but your partner wants this strong emotional connection and he or she may already be doing their best. Help your partner to grow even more by practicing compassionate communication and by being an example of what you want to see in them.
Healing is coming. Embrace it and you will feel better soon.
