King of Cups:

In the RWS deck, this king sits adrift in the ocean, while in my Tarot of the Masters version,
he sits beside a waterfall. In either case, he is peaceful and serene amid tumultuous water,
signifying turbulent emotions. In other words, he is able to remain calm, even in the midst of
emotionally chaotic situations, which leads to the following affirmations.

I am calm and in control of my emotions.
I keep my heart pure and serene, even in the midst of emotional turbulence.
Every day I meditate to develop a deepening sense of stillness that brings me great strength.

The King of Cups is also noted for his ability to be diplomatic and merciful. These are qualities
that imply the next two affirmations, which can help when you find yourself dealing with
delicate interpersonal relationships.

I handle all my relationships with tact and diplomacy.
I am always able to show mercy to those who have wronged me.
