The King of Cups in The Minor Arcana
The King of Cups's throne is surrounded by waves. Is he floating or have the waters surrounded him? There is a fish to the back left of the throne and a ship to the back right. The King's clothes are very rich looking, his crown ornate and heavy. He holds a cup in his right hand and a golden sceptre in his left hand.
The King of Cups is as caring and intuitive as his Queen. Just as she is a near perfect woman, he is a near perfect monarch, in his wisdom, caring and loving attitude towards his subjects. In a reading the King is predisposed to help the querent.
When this cards turns up in a reading, see where in your life you can use the fairness and knowledge of this King, or look to the person in your life whom he may represent.
Summary: A truly wise man.
