From the Out of Hand Tarot, the King of Cups; from the Seashells Playing Cards, Lightning Whelk:
So what happens when your universe begins to get off balance, and you don’t have any experience with bringing it back to center? ―Neal Shusterman
The King of Cups represents a calm, compassionate person who can bear witness to our emotions and help us find our center again without becoming untethered themselves. Learning to be grounded (staying in the present moment) and how to stay centered (having a reference point that brings us back to the big picture) are tools that we often must learn from others. Having them allows us to navigate the ebb and flow of our emotions so that they don't overwhelm us. The Lightning Whelk has a sinistral (left-handed) opening in its shell with lightning-like stripes that radiate along its sides. The vast majority of gastropod shells are dextral (right-handed), making this shell an anomaly. Living in emotional chaos and drama can begin to feel normal while practices that help ground and center us feel unnatural. Such change is not a goal to reach but a process of growth, which will feel more normal over time.
