✦ Queen of Cups and King of Cups: The Meaning ✦
These are the rulers of the water suit, the deck's masters of feeling. The Queen sits at the water's edge gazing into her ornate cup, in complete intimacy with emotion. The King sits on a throne that floats on the sea, feeling everything and steering anyway. Together they describe the two skills every deep relationship needs: the capacity to feel fully and the capacity to stay steady. When they appear as a pair, the reading is pointing at a bond where both are present, or at the need to bring both into balance within yourself.
✦ In Love and Relationships ✦
