Upright King of Cups Meaning
You’re wise, emotionally mature, a good listener and a leader. Being moderate in everything and controlling your emotions are your strengths. However, you should focus on your feminine side a bit more and trust your feelings, instead of trying to rationalize everything. Emotions will guide you to the right path and give you insight into other people's motives.
Affirmation
I put focus on my emotions by not trying to rationalize everything.
Reversed King of Cups Meaning
It is important to reconsider the advice you receive from others as someone might want to deliberately manipulate you. If you found yourself in a situation that provoked strong emotions from you, it would be good to sit down and try not to act too impulsive as you may regret your behavior later. Try to control your feelings by meditating and doing breathing exercises.
Affirmation
I allow my breath to be an anchor to my feelings and I find balance by practicing mindfulness.
