Knight of Cups upright
Riding a white horse that moves forward calmly, the Knight of Cups holds his chalice like someone bearing an offering. He represents a romantic, idealistic and charming person who is led by the heart and looks for beauty in everything. As an attitude, he suggests you follow your feelings, express affection without fear and pursue your dreams with grace. He may herald invitations, declarations or creative proposals. His challenge is to bring his ideals down to earth and follow through on what he promises.
Knight of Cups reversed
Reversed, the Knight shows his more volatile side: promises that aren't kept, mood swings or idealising so much that he runs from reality. It can describe someone seductive but unreliable. Notice whether the actions match the words.
The suit of Cups
The suit of water: the world of emotions. The Cups speak of love in all its forms, of friendship, of intuition and of what you feel, even if you don't say it.
