King of Cups

With the rest of the court cards in the cups suit, each comes for progressively closer to larger bodies of water, but the King of Cups is literally out to see with no land in sight. In a sense, even though he sitting on a throne, this spiritual master could be seen as walking on water, or at least sitting on it.

While the King of Cups may be a master in spiritual matters, the mundane can present a bit of a challenge to them, as he is not sitting on firm ground both literally and figuratively. He may be a bit out of touch with every day concerns and may be a bit out of touch with his people, both literally and figuratively once again.
