King of Cups

Upright

You hold an emotional space in which others feel safe. You don't have to act on your own: your presence gives others the courage to feel and act. This is the mature, calm strength of the heart. Beside you, the water becomes a quiet harbor.

Reversed

An empty throne. Either the place of support is taken, but emotionally you aren't there, and the people beside you are left alone with their feelings. Or, on the contrary, you use feelings to keep everyone in your power, and support becomes a trap. The true strength of the heart is to give, not to hold on.
