Hello.. The King of Cups can refer to a person, an event, or a part of yourself that needs to be activated so you can reach out for sound advice, give sound advice, deal with an open enemy, overcome a challenge, or help someone else with their problems.
This King always takes a good look to see what is going on around him so he can feel safe and secure in his environment. He may have a situation from the past that has made its way into his present which sometimes causes him to travel down memory lane or get mired in nostalgia while thinking about by-gone days.
He may also have emotional baggage and chaos that he carries around with him. He needs to do some inner work so he can stay on track and remain composed by keeping his emotions in check, not allowing them to come out and explode at others.
The King of Cups could be a bachelor, a ladies' man with a secret agenda, or he might be married with a family. He could even be someone who is dedicated to his career, that of of helping others.
He could have a personal problem that he is not willing to talk about. He might be a drinker or someone who will not commit to you, or someone who is flooded with the memories of the past and needs professional help.
You need to pull a crossing card to understand the King of Cups energies. When the example cards below cross the King, you are getting a heads up that something is going on that is hidden from you.
If the Hermit crosses the King, he walks alone and will not commit to you, or has a hidden agenda, or he might need professional help. A crossing Moon suggests that when something does not feel right, it probably is not right. The Seven of Swords indicates someone who is clever and crafty and might pull the wool over your eyes whereas the Page of Swords warns that you need eyes in back of your head, should pay attention to what is going on, or you might need to look at your lover's text, phone, email messages. hope its help. But king of cup seems a "no" for me if surrounded by negative card.
