The King of Cups is known also as the Prince of the Chariot of the Waters and represents mastery of the emotional realm.
This King is charismatic and powerful, with an appreciation of the feminine for which he provides an appreciative foil.
His fluid nature makes him elusive especially where the emotions are concerned, and yet his ability to fathom the depths of his and others' emotional natures makes him enigmatic and irresistible.
He is in touch with his intuitive side, which means that he has an uncanny knack of knowing what will work and who to trust with important decisions. He is a lateral thinker and will lead with his gut when tricky or conflicting matters need to be sorted out.
When he is not in his right nature, he can be deceptive, tricky and elusive, and he will not be pinned down by conservative rules and morals, although he has a compassionate nature and will go in to bat for the underdog if his better nature is appealed to.
On an abstract level, the King of Cups represents spiritual matters, the healing arts and cultural endeavours - those concepts which transcend the mundane reality and relate to the finer things of life - love, joy, art, philosophy . You see the King represents that part of us - and this applies to male and female alike - that sees the higher plane, the deeper questions that are asked,
He is always holding out for and expecting the best in people and circumstances. His vision is of the heart and soul, and he demands that we rise to a better and more meaningful place that has meaning and substance.
This King brings opportunities to connect to your compassion, empathy and the deeper concepts of love and selfless service that represents growth of the spirit and ultimate happiness.
