King of Cups
The Fisher King
This card is so serene. The Fisher King is fishing peacefully in a river. You can see a small waterfall in the background just adding to tranquility of the card. One thing i notice every time is that he is not looking at the reader and he is unarmed as if he is unconcerned for us and his enemies (if he has any). He simply is passing time fishing at the river.
There are many legends surrounding the Fisher King. For the Arthur legends, he is the guardian of the grail. He is also wounded in the leg and waits to be healed. My inference is the knight who can heal him is the one deserving to find the grail.

Knowing the legend (a small fraction) and the imagery in the card, I feel this is a card of patience and reflection. You know what you need but you have to wait before it comes to you.
