General Love Meaning

Whether you're embracing the Knight of Cups within yourself or are about to meet one, a wild romantic journey awaits you. This knight is a romantic who acts based on their heart. They have the words to say and know what to do to make you feel deeply seen. One thing about this knight is that they pursue their heart's desire, so they may not stay around for very long. When something else tugs at their hearts, they will pursue their next love interest.

Single and Loving It!

It's time to delve into your artistic side and creatively express your heart and emotions. Take an inspiring trip to your favorite place in nature and draw what you find or take some photos. Try an artistic challenge: painting, photographing something creative. Act daily on behalf of your heart.

Ready for Love / Dating

A wise person once said: 'Don't put all your dating eggs in one basket.' Okay, it might have just been me, but there's a lot of truth there. Don't put pressure on a single connection—you don't have to jump into bed with everyone or date lots of people, but keep your options open until you're sure. Just make sure everyone knows what's happening while you enjoy dating.

Committed Relationship

It's time for a romantic getaway! Pack your bags and head to a place for intimate romance and a touch of adventure. It doesn't have to be extravagant; you might both enjoy camping, for example. What this card is saying is to embark on a romantic adventure together to create bonding memories and experiences.

Struggling Relationship

There probably hasn't been much 'horizontal tango' in your relationship. The spark has died out or someone is stoking their flame elsewhere. The Knight of Cups has to come to rekindle the fire. Remember what attracted you to your partner in the first place and take some small steps to get your relationship back on track.

The End

Be your own Knight of Cups. You have to be the protector of your own heart; no one else will do it for you. Relationship boundaries are essential. Act on behalf of your well-being and as if you were doing it for your best friend. Don't worry and say no when something isn't right.

Visual Description

Three people lean against a dark car parked near a stone fountain under a bright sky. A man in the center wears a teal shirt and blazer, smiling with his arm draped around a woman in a blue dress who touches his chest. To their left a casually dressed person in a green shirt holds a wine glass up, hands in pockets, while the fountain and distant greenery form the background.
