Knight of Cups

The Knight of Cups stands for a sensitivity set in motion. Feeling becomes intention, offer and relational commitment.

What the card shows

The Knight sits on his mount, a cup held up before him, in a composition with no setting and no other figure. The pair formed by rider and horse fills the image alone.

Its light

Putting clear words on what you feel turns an inner disposition into a concrete relationship, with gestures you can check.

Its shadow

Your ideal takes over from the real person: you speak to an image built on your own, and disappointment comes when the other does not match what you expect.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. The knight does not count among the seated court figures: his rank comes from the road, which places him between the apprentice and the sovereign.

What this card invites you to do

Express what you feel without committing beyond what you will hold to, and back every word with an act.

A card does not decide for you.
