King of Cups

The King of Cups reminds us that when we find ourselves in rough waters or an emotional situation, we need to remain calm.  Certainly focus on what is immediately in front of you - people or decisions, but also look ahead.  Don't make rash decisions based on emotion - look at the entire situation and determine what is best for you.  Use your intuition, consult with others if necessary - realize how things are but also envision how things could be. Remain calm, the storm is only for a short season.

King of Cups

The King of Cups shows a man, sitting on a throne riding a rough sea.  He can see where he's going but has no rudder or sail to steer his way.  Like the fish to the left of the card, he's going with the current or the flow - he's in command of himself but not in control of the situation.  When we find ourselves in troubled waters sometimes the only thing we can do is be in control of our emotions.  Look at what the facts are and separate those from rumors because we just might find that things aren't as bad as they seem.
