~ King of Cups ~

Would you date this guy? He is the stoic, seemingly calm - when everything is topsy turvy - watersign ... and he is watching you - deciding whether you are worthy or not, lol. ...

Something is bothering him - he cant quite put his finger on it. He is your rock, your hard place and someone who truly understand you - indeed he sees right through to your inner intentions before you do!

If this card represents someone in your life, or you, then they are creative, in tune with their emotions, passionate, a deep thinker with psychic tendencies, artistic and supportive.

They are a hard worker, a provider, possessive and spiritual.

If the card is telling you anything, it is telling you to
a. be strong and stand your ground when everything is going crazy.
b. Don't give in to emotions - acknowledge and feel them. Understand what your mind, body and soul are telling you through your thoughts and feelings.
c. If you are suffering from inner turmoil, find a release - tell someone, draw a picture or write something down... you don't have to bear the burden all by yourself. Even if you share it with the Universe in general - write it on a piece of paper and bury it, or burn it.
d. Plan your next move. Be discerning - weigh your options, but more importantly, follow your instincts and intuition
