EP 165.5: Tarot Analysis: King of Cups | Minor Arcana | Compassion, Diplomacy, Emotional Balance
Watch on YouTube.
This week's card from the Fortunus Games tarot deck is the King of Cups featuring Joel Farber from my graphic novel, “The Book of Joel”! We're at the end of the Suit of Cups! In its upright position, the King of Cups symbolizes diplomacy, compassion, and being emotionally balanced.
He sits on a large stone throne and seems to be looking away from the cup, which suggests that he's mastered his emotions and doesn't need to focus that much on his emotionality.
In reverse, the King of Cups represents inner feelings, being emotionally manipulative, and moodiness.
How does this tie in to Joel? Like the King of Cups in reverse, Joel was (and still is, to some degree), at his core, a sensitive and moody individual focused on his inner feelings. He started as a very sensitive and emotional young boy, but he later learns to distance himself from his emotions.
