"Emotional Balance isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
The king represents taking action on matters of love and emotion. A masculine energy, the king represent fire and water and dominion over the emotional plain.
Someone (or yourself) is upholding the emotional wellbeing of you and those around you. A gentle forcefulness or protective energy around your heart. Unlike the queen of cups, the king represents a more active role (instead of nurturing/healing it's more about setting boundaries and moving forward).
A malevolent force in your life, aware of the occult and intentionally taking actions against you. Perhaps a roguish figure who has two emotional lives that do not overlap. Avoid vices and scandal or people associated with them.

King of Cups for Gemini in Health and Energy
The Communicator
Cups are the water suit, so the King of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sits directly beside Gemini, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Upright, this is the element used out in the world, at the cost of still feeling it.
When reading about health through a Gemini lens, the King of Cups says that you feel like your body is a problem to research, something you understand in theory better than practice, and a thing you will address once you find the perfect plan (or once you finally stop waiting). This has either made you knowledgeable and eventually proactive or left you reading about the symptom for months instead of calling the doctor. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Gemini blind spot in it is stillness, silence, the moment when talking stops and you have to feel what you actually feel, the weight of having chosen one thing and not the other.
In practice that can look like wanting to be looked after. Whatever form it takes, it is being decided by whoever holds the authority.
