Knight of Cups
The Knight of Cups symbolizes a tender and sensitive protector who utilizes his power to uplift the vulnerable. Depicted standing beside his horse, they share a moment of rest and refreshment, representing the flow of imagination and creativity. While he embraces his dreams and creative vision, the Knight must not linger too long lest he be distracted from his quest, reminding us that he is still a card of action.

The Ideal Knight
The Knight of Cups to me is the platonic ideal of a knight—not just a warrior and an adventurer, but a tender and sensitive protector. He is chivalrous in the historical meaning of the word—not just opening doors for m’ladies but using his power and privilege to elevate the vulnerable.
Equal Companions
Usually, all the knights in the Minor Arcana are depicted atop their horses, but I wanted my Knight of Cups to stand beside his, on equal footing as devoted companions rather than rider and steed. They are both drinking at the stream, the horse wading into it to lead its master into the flow of imagination and creativity that the water represents.
Moment of Rest
The knight takes the time in his journey to rest and appreciate the moment, to dream and to let his mind wander as he refreshes.
Action and Vision
He should not linger there too long and risk being caught up in his contemplation and becoming distracted from his quest—the knight is still a card of action. But it is in his nature to dream and be guided by his creative vision.
