King of Cups

In Kabbalah, the King is law, lawgiver, and conductor of Force: an object through which Force manifests, governs, or is transmitted into the world. Cups or Hearts are emotions, feelings, and memories.

Therefore, the King of Cups is the conductor of the Force of feelings, emotions, or memories. In the material world he may symbolize a famous pop idol, bard, humorist, clown, toastmaster, or educator.

In the memory aspect, the King of Cups may be expressed as formative ethical or spiritual imperatives, such as patriotism, nationalism, humanism, and similar ideas.
