V749.9-12, P763.41-764.3   The King of Cups, crowning his hopes, is the
fair intellectual-king. If you’re wondering where he’s gone, look among the
successful academics, the Presidential advisers, the token intellectuals
who sit on boards of directors. He is almost surely there. Look high, not
low.

What does "crowning his hopes" mean here?
