The King of Cups shows a far haired man sitting on a throne made of a grey stone block amidst a very turbulent sea. The man has a calm and composed aura about him.
He wears a necklace that has a fish as an amulet. Fish is the symbol of creativity and spirit and is representative of the fine balance between the conscious and the subconscious. To the right side of the man behind him a fish is seem to jump from the tumultuous ocean, while on the left is seen a ship that sails steadily despite all the turbulence.
This says that the man has been able to grasp his subconscious mind, but what he has found does not overwhelm him in any way. He seems to be perfectly in control of the situation. The man does not repress his emotions, but accept them while dealing with them in a mature and balanced manner.
