Emotional Discernment and Authentic Expression

Not all emotions are worth reacting to. Test them for their truth, and if they are genuine rather than artificial, express them. Show your true face.

Visual Description

A robed king sits on a high throne, wearing an elaborate tall headdress and a mask-like face while holding a single golden cup with both hands. He is clad in flowing blue garments and a fur-lined collar; long drapery pools around his feet. Stylized fish and sea-creature motifs flank the throne on the wall, and a decorative band runs along the base of the wall. The throne stands on a patterned tiled floor and a small crown emblem appears at the bottom edge of the card.
