Knight of Cups
Suit of Cups
He arrives bearing a feeling.
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.
Upright
- Romance
- Charm
- Idealism
- Following the heart
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.
Reversed
- Moodiness
- Unrealistic
- Jealousy
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.
