Knight of Cups

knight of cups

Romantic to a fault. He means every word in the moment. Decide whether that's enough for you, babe.

Upright Knight of Cups

The Knight of Cups is the romantic on horseback: graceful, idealistic, slow-moving, sometimes a little theatrical. He arrives with a cup outstretched, with an offer of beauty or feeling. The Knight is what happens when the heart leads.

Drawing this card often signals a romantic gesture, a creative pursuit, or an invitation to follow inspiration. The Knight asks you to choose feeling over efficiency.

The Knight is what happens when the heart leads.

Reversed Knight of Cups

Reversed, the Knight of Cups is the dreamer who never quite delivers. Idealism without action, romance without follow-through, an offer that sounds good and never materializes.

It can also indicate emotional manipulation, performing feeling rather than feeling it. The Knight reversed asks for honesty about whether what's being offered is real.
