King of Cups
圣杯国王
A king sits on a stone throne floating on a turbulent sea, wearing a golden cup amulet and holding a cup in one hand and a scepter in the other. A fish leaps from the waves to his right, and a ship sails steadily to his left — commerce and intuition in balance. Despite the churning water all around him, the king remains calm and composed. The King of Cups is the master of emotional balance — he has achieved the rare ability to feel deeply without being controlled by his emotions. He is the leader who makes wise decisions informed by both reason and compassion. In the outer world, he represents a person of authority who is genuinely kind, diplomatically skilled, and emotionally available. He may be a counselor, healer, artist, or leader in any field where emotional intelligence is the key to success. When this card appears, lead with your heart and your head in equal measure. The turbulent waters around you cannot shake your inner peace if you have done the work of emotional mastery.
