The king rules over the realms of relationships, emotions, the heart, and personal feelings. He cares deeply for those in his realm and feels deeply about the need for compassion and kindness in this world. He sits on his throne, holding a cup in his hand, and is surrounded by water, representative of emotions. The keys to this card include feelings of love, dreaming, feeling emotions deeply, being gentle, and creativity. Usually representing someone older than the querent, this person enjoys peace and harmony. He is a dreamer, but also is a perfectionist. He can sometimes withhold his own feelings so that he doesn't hurt the feelings of others.
