King of Cups
Today as Mercury enters Cancer and Mars trines Neptune, you may find yourself more fully immersed into the mysterious realms of feelings and emotions.
The Sun and Mars are also in Cancer today, with the Moon in mutual reception with Mars. That’s a lot of watery (emotional) energy, which may be difficult to contain.
Look at the King of Cups in this card. His throne rises up from the sea and is at least partially obscured by water. He’s able to maintain his composure despite the turbulent waves that surround him. He offers his Cup up to the Night Sky, which is filled with Cancerian imagery.
There’s the Crab (Cancer’s animal symbol), the Moon (ruled by Cancer), the astrological glyph, and the constellation.
The King of Cups — this version from the gorgeous Celestial Tarot — may be an individual in your life. If so he is she will embody the qualities associated with this card. Kindness, mercy, sensitivity and gentle but firm leadership.
This card encourage you to be compassionate while still maintaining an air of authority. It speaks of developing a clear emotional radar without becoming wishy washy. And it speaks of getting a better understanding of your emotions without becoming overpowered by them.
The King of Cups is about more than just getting in touch with your feelings. It’s about learning to contain and master and control them. While it’s clear there is some turbulence in the water that surrounds him, you can see how this King is able to maintain his composure.
This is the energy you want to hold onto today. You may not be able to avoid certain emotional upheavals (nor should you) but you do want to work on going with the flow and letting yourself become one with your feelings and emotions, rather than projecting them onto others.
