Knight of Cups
Upright Meaning
The Knight of Cups rides slowly forward, offering his chalice like a sacred gift. Unlike the charging Knight of Wands, this one moves with grace and intention — the romantic, the poet, the one who leads with feeling. This card represents following your heart with dedication, though its shadow warns against confusing intensity with depth.
Reversed Meaning
When reversed, the energy of Knight of Cups may become blocked or distorted. Pay attention to shadow aspects and areas requiring deeper reflection.
