CARD FOR THE WEEK: 20-26 SEP 2026
King of Cups
Hi everyone!
Key words are: Emotional maturity/intelligence, compassion, diplomacy, a balanced mentor and unconditional love.
Withdrawn, manipulation, emotionally immature/low EQ, moody, overwhelmed and conditional love.
This week’s card could see you seeking out guidance from a wise, compassionate mentor, who will help you to see the balance and help take the steps toward whatever you want to achieve. Or it could be YOU that is sought out as the wise, compassionate mentor!
This week, many of us may find ourselves “levelling up” and finding that space of emotional balance. Or we are really struggling with our feelings and responding by withdrawing or setting overly harsh boundaries to either protect ourselves from the challenging time we find ourselves in, or to punish another party.
This card represents a person or energy that has learned to navigate the deepest depths of the subconscious and emotional worlds without getting swept away by the current. That said, the opposite can also be true and this needs to be worked on through reflection, sitting in the discomfort of making the change, seeking guidance from those who are in the compassionate space, and in some cases, therapy.
This week may expose those who are manipulating you or others to do their bidding and if you are that person, please take steps to learn the hurt you are causing others who only want the best for you. If you are putting conditions on how you love/respect a person based on what they are doing for you, perhaps ask yourself what you have done for them, and is it fairly balanced?
This card, to a degree, represents addiction (usually alcoholism), so a light may be shone on some with vices this week, and careful steps will need to be taken to address them.
The King of Cups is asking you to approach everything with balance, compassion and respect.
Personally, this card is reminding me that the position I find myself in doesn’t need a negative, emotional response.
Minor Arcana cards represent day to day life. The mundane that can have an impact on our lives down the track. Cups represent Water and are the third fastest moving of the cards. Cups represents love in all forms and emotions, and how we manage them.
Have a great week everyone!
