Your Chosen Card – King of Cups Upright Golden Deck
Kings are mature accomplished individuals (father figures) who are in charge of the matters related to their suit and element. They represent important men in the querents life or significant personality traits needed by the querent to navigate the situation. When upright, the King of Cups is a sensitive, emotionally attuned man of accomplishment who gives good advice that can be of great assistance. He is often quite cultured and may appear in the form of a helpful physician, therapist, counselor, cleric, or other professional who ministers to the needs of the querent. Some authors feel that the King of Cups (Air of Water) comes across as cool and emotionally detached as he tries to give preference to his intellect while he keeps his own feelings under wraps.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Ace of Pentacles (golden coins) suggests that something may have gone awry in your quest for material well-being. Perhaps you are missing a significant opportunity to improve financial security, or maybe your attitude toward wealth and prosperity needs adjusting. In the myth of King Midas, his unbridled greed for the acquisition of material goods leaves him devoid of human contact. Now may be a good time to ponder Buddhas teachings about nonattachment. Interestingly, the lilies on this card in the Llewellyn Classic Tarot resemble the lotus, a Buddhist symbol of nonattachment; the lotus has the ability to rise above the mire of the swamp and produce an object of beauty.
Portable Magic: Imagine an upright triangle of golden light form itself in the air above the reclining triangle of three rugs on the dais. The lines of the triangle draw themselves from the apex in a counter clockwise direction. Its base floats a foot above the dais, and it is six feet tall.
