King is considered as other people in your life in the world of tarot. So, a reversed card may also indicate bad guidance or mentorship. Here are the interpretations in various aspects of life when “King of Cups” shows reversed:
Family & Relationship You might be overthinking everything about your children, wife, or your romantic partner. The relationship needs some space and you need to be rational. Give things a bit of time, and relax and consider other factors as well. They say “Listen to your heart and go on…”. This is not the time to follow this advice.
Business & Finance You might be trusting too much of your advisor or business partner. Having a great relationship is great but it is better to have things clear and on paper for all kinds of business transactions and commitments. It is easy to get carried away and ignore formalities based on how the relationship is today. This may not be the case in the future. However, you won't be able to get back in time to fix things. Please do ensure the credentials and track record of the advisor or financial consultant you are planning to follow.
Health & Wellness You might be under a lot of stress and feeling too emotional. Which is clearly not a good thing to deal with. Regular exercise and meditation will help your calm down and will increase your strength and immunity. This will help you be emotionally more stable and mature. A peaceful time spent with yourself will pay off big time. This will let the thoughts flow freely for a while and eventually let you see the bigger picture.
