The Prince of Cups rides a vapory chariot of water. His draft animal is the eagle, but the scorpion is his real familiar. His cup is represented by the trident. He outwardly appears calm and soft, but he hides a deep secret passion inside. He is receptive to outer influences, which he twists and manipulates to his own ends. He is a ruthless man of great ambition, but he moves in secrecy. He is fundamentally misunderstood by his peers.
