King of Cups

Composed · Reflective · Wise · Protective

On a churning sea, the king’s throne stands firm. His hand pinches the rim of the chalice with relaxed yet absolute control, demonstrating masterful command over the water element.

Ring with a fish motif: symbolizes his power to direct water.
Half-lotus chalice: whereas the Page’s lotus appeared only as decoration, here the lotus and cup merge—signifying the king’s emotional maturity.
Faint scales on his hand: hint that he may carry merfolk blood, explaining his effortless sway over watery energies.

Associated Signs: Scorpio / Mars- or Sun-influenced Scorpio, Jupiter in Libra
