King of Hearts as a Birth Card

People of this card are emotionally mature. They understand people, read their feelings and know how to support them. The King of Hearts is usually surrounded by friends and by those who see him as their patron.

His strength lies in governing feelings rather than suppressing them. The King of Hearts rules the heart wisely: generously but without weakness, warmly but with firmness.

• A wise heart. You understand people and their feelings well.
• Patronage. You look after those who depend on you.
• Generosity. You share attention, time and resources.
• Leadership. People trust you and follow you.

Power over people's feelings is tempting. The person may start managing those close to them, believing they know better what others need.

The opposite extreme is a heart that is too soft: the King of Hearts can't say no, gives away himself and his promises, and then can't cope.

In a relationship you are a dependable, generous and caring partner. You take responsibility for the family and know how to create an atmosphere of love and security.

Let your partner decide with you. A king's wisdom also shows in listening.

The King of Hearts is valued in roles that call for leading and caring for people: team leadership, mentoring, psychology, teaching, medicine, human resources, family business.

His success rests on the trust he knows how to inspire.

The King is the senior card of the suit of Hearts, its summit. His days open on June 30, at the start of the second half of the year, and recur once a month until December 18.
