Tell My Tarot
Travel, especially of the psyche. Charting a responsible course for thoughts and emotions
Interestingly, this card with its mighty cup has been linked to Arthurian legend and the Fisher King, in the quest for the Holy Grail. This card, however, is important to us here and now because it speaks of open-minded intelligence used for the common good. We must focus and be set on placing intellect above unreliable, emotion-driven sources. This may mean we sometimes stand alone, but that is what all leaders do. Once they recognize that a responsible, meaningful vision has been established, that alone is their north star. So must we be.
The ocean signals excellent communication and intuition, realms that are sometimes sadly unexplored thoroughly. The King of Cups tells us to investigate and examine them, to consider them in the context of our own lives. To function authoritatively, we must be able to discern truth from the loud babble of the collective voice. This card urges careful consideration first, followed by confidence in our intuition and abilities. However, we must never sit still. Ongoing education, open minds and intelligent questioning will mean we are always current in making our choices.
