Louis The Beloved

A Gentle Man, A Voice of Reason, Wise & Generous

Card Number: 48
Astrological Sign: Cancer; Associations: Libra, Scorpio
Yes / No Key Interpretation: The answer is unclear

He values spiritual maturity more than material success. He is a beloved king, humble, thoughtful and just. Completely at ease and in touch with both his masculine and feminine elements, he is confident in his authority and power, he is enigmatic and prefers to use subtle strength, moving quietly and diplomatically. He wants nothing for himself that is not for others. He (and the King of Pentacles) are the older, receptive kings.

In a Reading

The King of Cups reveals the presence of a compassionate, warm, and gentle voice of reason, perhaps and older man or woman. He is a loving man with strong intuition and vast spiritual knowledge who will give good counsel. He says to  make decisions carefully, by channeling one’s experience, to resolve conflicts by putting oneself in the other person’s shoes. He lovingly asks us to shut up and listen, to consider the needs of those around us.

Neither positive nor negative in nature, if this card is drawn for a yes or no question, the answer is unclear and must be made through further, careful thought.
