The King of Diamonds sometimes symbolizes a soldier, or more generally – a man in a dangerous occupation, exposed to risks of injury or violent death (policeman, firefighter, roof-tiler, aircraft pilot and similar professions with elevated risks). For a young woman or a divorced woman, the isolated card means a proposal for marriage from a man in a dangerous occupation.
It also represents a blond man, self-important, haughty, fearsome, deceitful; in a word, a bad man.
It is one of the cards whose meaning depends mostly on the cards surrounding it.
So the number of its exceptions, i.e. special cards that give it a different meaning, is quite varied, as you will see below.
