King of Cups
Leela Atlas team · Updated
Calm mastery of feeling.
The image
A king sits on a stone throne floating on a rough sea, holding a cup and a sceptre; a ship sails on one side and a fish leaps on the other.
Keywords: emotional balance, calm, wisdom
Light side
You can stay calm in strong emotional currents, feeling deeply while acting wisely. Steadiness lets you support others.
Shadow side
Calm can be a mask: controlling feelings rather than living them. Keeping the sea at bay may cut you off from your own heart.
Drawing King of Cups in a game of Leela
In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:
- How could you stay steady here without shutting down what you feel?
- What does "King of Cups" show you about your square?
- If "King of Cups" were advice for your question, what would it say?
- Where do you meet "King of Cups" in your life right now?
