King of Cups
The King of Cups represents emotional maturity, kindness, and trustworthy support in relationships, encouraging the free expression of feelings and creative fulfillment. It advises trusting your intuition and expressing emotions rather than over-relying on cold logic. As a warning, it cautions against burying feelings, which can lead to illness or emotional breakdown. Reversed, the card signals loss of emotional control, addictive or self-destructive tendencies, and the danger of trusting unreliable people; circumstances may be favorable but practical details might not yet be ready.
