However, when the Hermit remains upright and the King of Cups is reversed, an imbalance arises. The Hermit continues to seek truth in solitude, but the reversed King of Cups is overwhelmed by emotions and cannot control them. It's like trying to find truth within oneself when chaos surrounds. For example, when emotions overwhelm us, and we try to maintain calm and clarity of thought.

Finally, when both cards are reversed, they indicate an internal conflict. The reversed Hermit reflects a desire to avoid society and an unwillingness to share thoughts and feelings. The reversed King of Cups symbolizes overwhelming emotions and a lack of control over feelings. It's like trying to hide from everyone while emotions are boiling inside. Not the best situation, but it also has its right to exist. It all depends on how deeply we are willing to dive into our inner self.
