So, I’ve been doing these tarot readings for a while now, and it’s always a trip, you know? The other day, I decided to focus on feelings, specifically using the King of Cups, but in reverse. I set up my usual spot, lit a couple of candles, and shuffled the deck with my question in mind. How is this person feeling?
I pulled the King of Cups, but it was upside down. This was kind of a downer. Usually, this king is all about emotional balance and maturity. But reversed? It felt like flipping the script entirely.
My notes from that day:

- Pulled the King of Cups reversed.
- Felt an immediate sense of imbalance.
- Noted down the contrast with its upright meaning.
Diving Deeper into the Reading
I spent some time just sitting with the card. The reversed King of Cups? It seemed to point towards someone who’s really out of touch with their emotions. Maybe they’re repressing things, or maybe they’re all over the place, emotionally speaking. I jotted down some thoughts about how this could play out. It might mean someone who’s emotionally manipulative, or someone who just can’t handle their own feelings, and so they end up in these big emotional storms. Also, I felt like the card may indicate he was an alcoholic.
Journal Entry:
- King of Cups reversed suggests emotional turmoil.
- Possible scenarios: manipulation, emotional outbursts.
- The person might be struggling with inner demons.
- He may use alcohol to numb his feelings.
Reflecting on the Implications
This reading gave me a lot to think about. It made me consider how emotional instability can really mess with a person’s relationships and their own well-being. If this card represents someone’s feelings, it’s a sign that there’s some serious inner work to be done. Or, maybe it was a warning to myself, to stay aware of my own emotional state and not let things get out of hand.
Further Reflection:
- This card is a reminder of the importance of emotional health.
- It could be a call to address unresolved issues.
- I need to check in with myself regularly, make sure I’m not bottling things up.
In the end, I put the card back in the deck, blew out the candles, and sat there for a bit, just processing. Tarot readings like this, they’re not just about predicting the future or whatever. They really make you think about the deeper stuff going on, inside and out.
