What the King of Clubs Means
The King of Clubs is the honest, generous man: dark-haired in the old descriptions, loyal, straightforward and successful through his own work. He is a friend for life and a good advisor, the kind of man who tells you the truth and then helps. As a quality, he is integrity with energy behind it. His flaw is stubbornness. Drawn for a question, the King says a loyal, able man supports you, or that acting with his honesty is the right way through.

The Suit of Clubs
Clubs are the suit of effort. They cover work, business, study, ambition, and the friendships and rivalries that come from doing things with other people. A reading full of Clubs says the answer is earned: it depends on what you do next, not on what you feel or what you are given. Clubs are mostly encouraging, with warnings about haste (the Eight), stalling (the Four) and quarrels (the Five). Old cartomancers gave the suit the summer, and matched it with the Wands of the tarot.
The King in Every Suit
The King means a man of authority, or the suit's power; the suit decides where.
