Leadership Through Emotional Strength
There are multiple views on how to read the King of Cups, but here’s mine. Look at the water surrounding the King. It is tumultuous and stormy. In tarot, water represents emotions and the unconscious. This King certainly has a lot going on. But his face is placid. He is content. He is taking it all in stride. I drew the King of Cups as my grandfather, in a dinghy where we made many happy memories together. My grandfather has Alzheimer’s. His short-term memory leaves him, a situation which he understands, but does not battle. He is aging with grace and cheerfulness that I can only imagine. He knows he is loved, and he is happy.
The King of Cups shows true emotional strength in the face of difficulty. In this way, he supports the people around him.
If you are the King of Cups, you are likely being called upon to balance your emotions. Whether your choppy sea has to do with internal strife or outside forces, it is time to manage your feelings without repressing them. How can you listen to your unconscious without being overwhelmed by it? How can you best show compassion for your community while still taking care of yourself?
