I fully expected to see King of Wands this morning since my partner is going away again. It appeared a couple of times in the past few weeks. But instead I got King of Cups. Even though I am an earth sign, I think this represents me. I will explain later. I have to run now to go to the temple.
Update March 27, 7:47 AM Back to talk about the Kings for a bit. It’s interesting that I find King of Wands to represent my partner, and King of Cups me. Wands are of the fire sign, energetic, outgoing. Cups are of the water sign, emotional, quiet. We went to a retreat held by his Church some years ago. They gave everyone a personality test. He was an extrovert, and I was an extreme introvert. The cards representations seem quite right.
Now a little about the King of Cups. I mentioned that I am of the earth sign (by birth.) But it doesn’t represent me. Earth signs are more material, more in touch with sensual pleasures. I am not like that at all. I am more like the King of Cups. Cups are emotional, but the King has matured to be above the control of the emotions. He sits on a throne on a rock just above the crashing waves. The water represents emotions and he is above it. Not influenced by it’s turbulence. But his robe touches the water just a little, showing that he is still in touch with the emotions. He is also holding a cup with the Yin Yang symbol, showing that he’s balanced. The throne that he sits on is shaped like a lotus flower. I like this because I am a Buddhist. Lotus represents purity out of defilements, spiritual maturity. I like that. Oh, and he’s wearing sandals. hehe
When I looked at the card yesterday, the king seemed to be raising the cup, smiling and looking at the distance, saying “have a great trip.” It will be lonely at home.
