King of Cups - Reversed

Minor Arcana

You may be crafty and violent. Your dealings may not be very transparent. You have no sense of responsibility. You are dishonest and corrupt and do not mind leading others into the same trap.



Let's hear your interpretation of the card...

King of Cups Reversed, well remembering that this Kings is Water/Air when we reverse him the more negative air elements are revealed from where they have been hidden by the calmer water element.

So reversed he could indicate a loss of control, and that the positive application of your creativity has now been turned around and used for deception and dishonesty. You may be domineering within a relationship. It could well be inidicating that you are prepared to use your creative talents in order to manipulate those around you and that you do not care enough for it to worry you.

Reversed also could be telling you that you need to keep your feet firmly on the ground and not to lose your grip on reality by allowing fantasy to rule you world.  It may be saying to you that you lack maturity in order to produce the outcome you desire whether that be a project, or relationship etc.

Finally it could be telling you that you have lost touch with your intuition and that you are not allowing your inner knowledge to guide and direct you anymore and maybe you have just closed yourself off from those who surround you, and like the Queen you could become depressed or allow yourself to become dependant of drugs etc.  < There is that changeability of the moods of this King as represented by the choppy sea!
