King of Cups

Knowing how to govern feeling.

Arcana: Minor Arcana
Suit: Cups
Element: Water

Emotional maturity
Restraint
Composure

Upright

You hold the centre without being pulled around by emotion, even when things shake. You are good at settling conflict and mediating between people, and you are well placed to be asked for advice.

Reversed

Suppressing feeling until it bursts, or being calm only on the surface. Bring out what has been held down and sort it.

Advice

Respond rather than react. Slowing by one beat resolves most of it.
