Minor Arcana · Cups
Knight of Cups
“A romantic impulse, a proposal, or following the heart's dream.”
Upright
The Knight of Cups rides forward holding a cup like a banner: he follows his heart rather than calculation. A romantic gesture, a proposal, or an idea inspired by feeling rather than gain.
Reversed
Reversed, the Knight of Cups promises more than he can deliver. Beautiful words aren't always backed by action — check whether there's real ground beneath them.
In love
A romantic gesture or invitation worth meeting with an open, but clear-eyed, heart.
In career
An idealistic offer — check the details before getting swept up.
