King of Cups tarot card meaning

Upright

A king on a throne floating on rough seas, perfectly calm. The King of Cups is emotional maturity: staying steady and kind in turbulent water.

Reversed

Reversed, keeping a lid on feelings until they boil over, or using calm as a mask.

If you pulled it today

Stay calm in the storm, but don’t pretend there isn’t one. Feel what you feel, then respond rather than react. Steady is contagious.
