The King of Cups sits calmly on a grey stone throne in the middle of the ocean waves and wears a necklace with a talisman of the fish. Fish is a symbol of spirit and creativity, it also represents the balance of unconsciousness and consciousness. Behind his right side, there is another fish jumping wildly in the middle of the ocean; and on his left, a sail surfing on the sea.

These images are a sign that the unconscious has risen, and of course, the King knows about this, but it is still under his control and can not overwhelm even for a second. He did not suppress his emotions and the urge of the unconscious, instead, he learned to accept and deal with them in a mature and balanced way.

The personality of the King of Cups is a combination of the active energy of the Water element of the Cups set and the dynamic and extroverted character of a King. He is a wise and understanding man, with a deep knowledge of the world coming from his soul. He is a teacher and a guide for his students with devotion to love. He cares for others intimately and always responds to their needs with compassion.

He heals them with gentle gestures and words. Others approached him for advice because they knew he would listen. There is always peace around him for others to reply. He expresses tolerance in every view and shows patience in almost every circumstance. He allows others to be free to develop in their way without asking for anything.
