Knight of Cups

Upright Meaning

A knight rides slowly on a white horse, extending a golden cup as if offering it to someone unseen. Unlike the Knight of Wands who charges, this knight moves with deliberate grace. He is the romantic, the artist, the one who follows his heart above all else. The Knight of Cups may represent a proposal, an artistic opportunity, or a person who enters your life bearing an emotional gift. His arrival is always beautiful. Whether it's practical is another question entirely.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, the Knight of Cups' romantic nature becomes impractical or even deceptive. The charming suitor turns out to be all surface and no substance. The artistic vision is beautiful but unmoored from reality. If this represents you, consider whether you are following your heart or running from your responsibilities.
