Maybe the difficult conversation you need to have is with yourself.
This card could represent a person you know or will encounter or some aspect of yourself that is present or to call upon now.
The King of Cups is emotionally mature.
He is able to observe his emotions and respond in wise ways to them. He is a wonderful counselor and advisor. He is a careful, empathic, and understanding listener. He gives good advice and makes a wonderful mediator.
This king appears slightly melancholy as he sits on his throne, staring into his cup. Although he has much power, he seems to be missing something.
He has a big heart, is extremely caring, and makes a wonderful husband and father.
The King of Cups is imaginative and able to channel his emotions in creative ways. He loves the arts and beautiful things. He has accomplished much that has given him much satisfaction, but there is a longing in his heart.
He may seem emotionally detached, but this is only because he is calm and mature, not because he doesn’t care.
In some ways, The King of Cups rules over the deep, dark places that others shun and avoid. His work is always done in solitude. Subtle senses are keenly developed, and the king is aware of everything in his kingdom of the subconscious. One of the functions of The King of Cups is to help you let go of something.
ADVICE: Spend time in dreams. Seek an artistic or creative outlet, and nurture your emotions. Be aware of focusing on what you don’t have. If you look at only the things that are missing in your life (such as personal and creative projects), you can grow bitter and resentful. You may neglect your existing obligations if you give in to pouting and self-obsession rather than workable solutions.
