The Rider-Waite-Smith, King of Cups, is depicted as seated on a heavy granite throne that floats effortlessly on the Sea and currents of the unconscious. The solar colored outer cloak, covering the blue water colored inner robe relates to the natural union of water and sun (fire). The crown of the throne that is in the shape of a peacock's tail in full fan, and along with the garish coloration of the Kings remnants and crown, relates to the wisdom of the peacock god (eyes on may dimensions) bestowed upon the ever-watchful king who holds both scepter and cup in his hands. In the background, the fish leaping, and the ship sailing, depict how thought and the fiery spiritual vessel of mind are dependent on the sea of emotions, for their direction; thoughts are emoted. This becomes obvious when one understands that e-motion is energy-in-motion. Which in Qabalah we call, "Will to Force". The fish pendant around his neck depicts the Alchemist's "first Material", which we call "thought" and/or the stimulation of the "Astral Fluid" of imagination/s liquid material into coagulated form by the measurement of "thought".

The King of Cups is the personification of the force which motivates the currents of the unconscious mental world, the fiery part of water. This may sound strange to the neophyte; However, the fiery part of water is the Power of Solution.

The King of Cups is not unlike the fiery attack of rain or springs. He rules the Zodiac from the 21st degree of Aquarius to the 20th degree of Pisces.

Both the Rider-Waite-Smith and the Erotic Tarot- King of Cups represent the most active aspects of water. Hence, he is also a message bearer from and to the Grail (the Creatrix) and represents a reliable and respected man from any social class. He is trustworthy and can help.

The King of Cups is often called the "Intellectual Father", because he lives in an intellectual world separate from most other people. Afflicted with an extremely agile mind, he jumps from one thought to another. He is extremely sensitive, empathetic, emotional, introspective, and intuitive, yet he holds unrealistic thoughts about his own identity. He constantly believes he is misunderstood and therefore needs constant sympathy, love, and understanding. Although he feels warmth and affection for people, he is critical of the abilities and performance of others and finds it painful to accept shortcomings in those he loves.

Here we have the "day dreamer" who shows little of himself openly but easily accepts others. He may seem very candid and openly honest, yet there are deep parts/currents of himself that are never revealed. However, he operates remarkably well in society and makes an excellent businessman. Many people find this personality to be one easy to be around, because this King of Cups presence is sincere and accepting. If this King of Cups represents you, then you are doing an excellent job as a friend and confidant, so be proud and keep up your excellent work.

When the King of Cups/King of Water is thrown during a divination, it implies:

• Issues of loyalty to family and friends.
• That the querent is an optimist.
• This person has attained their position of authority by action and is looking ahead into life.
• Listening to one's conscience, being guided by instincts and intuition and trusting one's impulses.
• The querent is releasing an emotional pattern that no longer serves them well.
• Creativity, imagination, and the ability to love.
• A caregiver, counselor, or priest.
• A lively imagination and one who can change one's moods at will. 
• A master of emotion who is empathetic but not manipulated by the emotions of others.
• The querent has the quality of irresistible force, underlying a calm surface.

If reversed:

• Dishonest.
• Double dealing man.
• Roguery.
• Exactions.
• Vice.
• Injustice.
• Scandal.
