I am the one who rules the waters without drowning. In my image, I sit enthroned on a stone platform in the midst of turbulent seas. Ships sail and fish leap, but I remain stable, cup in one hand, scepter in the other. I feel everything - the sea is mine - but I am not carried away by it. I am emotion that has learned balance, feeling that has become wisdom.
I speak with the voice of emotional wisdom. I am about mastery of feeling - not suppression but wise expression. When I appear, I announce that emotional intelligence is called for. Feel deeply but don't be swept away. Lead with both heart and wisdom. Others look to you for calm in the storm.
**Themes:** Emotional balance, diplomacy, wisdom, calm authority, composure, counseling, emotional intelligence, mastery of feeling.
I speak of emotions out of control or feelings completely suppressed. Either the waters have overwhelmed the throne - manipulation, moodiness, emotional volatility - or I've become cold, cut off from feeling. My reversed message asks: are you mastering your emotions or being ruled by them? Or have you shut them out entirely?
**Themes:** Emotional manipulation, moodiness, coldness, suppression, volatility, poor boundaries, overwhelm.
