King of Cups, reversed

The King of Cups sits securely on his throne floating along a rather rough sea, there's a ship in the background.  The king is wearing a yellow cape and a blue gown - yellow is a symbol for hope and blue is a symbol for being calm.  So even when things are a bit rocky, shaky, you're unsure of what's happening or even what's, what - there's always hope.

However, in the reverse position though, faith and hope are shaken, there is some insecurity of how things will turn out.  It's at these times when it may be necessary to call in close, trusted friends - friends who truly have insight into your life, friends who know you and who will give you honest and truthful council.

Other things I find interesting about this card are the shoes the king is wearing - they appear to be like fish scales - I see this as being adaptive to the environment.  The ship passing by are like thoughts traveling too and fro, when things are rocky in life sometimes the mind...well, it gets crazy thoughts.  Again, this is when faith and friends can help bring clarity to the situation.
