Minor Arcana

The King of Cups symbolizes a person or situation that is positive, creative, and beneficial to you in all manners. If it symbolizes a person, he is a partner or a prominent male in your life who is loving, trustworthy and kind, and who is supportive of your endeavors mentally, emotionally, and often financially. If it symbolizes a situation, a favorable, positive mood surrounds the circumstances and good things are easily coming forth. Whichever the

case may be, use it to your advantage! Cups are very positive cards that symbolize love and creativity. Not all of life’s lessons are hard! We also gain knowledge from our successes. Utilizing advantageous opportunities in the form of synchronistic events gives us practice in the creative process, thereby gaining trust in our intuition and confidence in our decision-making skills.


Reversed

When this King appears reversed it can indicate that someone in your creative process does not have your best interests at heart. Be aware and steer clear of them.

If the King represents a love in your life, it can indicate that the person is done with the relationship. As hard as that is, it is important to remember that if someone doesn’t want to be with you then you shouldn’t want to be with them. Don’t spend time trying to change someone’s feelings. Take the time to reflect on your relationship. Personal reflection is never a cakewalk, but it’s necessary in the process of growing as a person. Consider every detail. Not addressing the intricacies of your failed relationship will cause you to repeat the same problems with other people. Where did you compromise yourself to the point of discomfort? Where did you not compromise enough? When relationships don’t work out, it gives us a chance to see where we draw our own personal lines on what attitudes or behavior we will or will not accept. We get a chance to improve ourselves, not only with the ordinary knowledge that we could be better at communicating/being considerate/paying more attention/fill in the blank, but we also get the opportunity to raise our own bar of toleration that often gets lowered in the course of a relationship. Realize what worked and what didn’t, and take that with you into the future where other relationships await. With each relationship, we have the opportunity to raise our standards and attract people who can meet them.
