Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the King of Cups has difficulty maintaining his emotional equilibrium. He can be prone to daydreaming, escapism, or the abuse of drugs or alcohol. His personal relationships are characterized by manipulation, dishonesty, exploitation, and lack of genuine commitment. His advice cannot be trusted.

Reversed Cards: The King of Cups has the ability to show you exactly how to take your dreams and make them real. He is more than willing to tap you in to the greater web of intuition if you will let him. All you have to do is ask and be willing to peer deeply into his watery chalice. There is only one catch: you have to control your emotions. No matter what you see reflected, you have to stay in alignment with the dream or goal you say you want to create. Hold that feeling and watch as the images in the water change and shift with your emotional state of being.

Reversed Cards: Emotional manipulation is one of the king’s less desirable talents. When he feels cornered or out of power, it is not beneath him to use his mastery of emotional energy against those around him. When the shadow aspect of the King of Cups is present, expect to be played in the worst possible way. Be mindful of how people are using your emotions against you at this time and also be mindful of how you are honoring others’ feelings. Remember, manipulation works both ways. For every passive-aggressive remark is a strategically placed emotional attack.
