Knight of Cups

✦ The One Who Rides for Love

✦ Introduction

Summarized eloquently in Modern Tarot by Michelle Tea, “The Knight of Cups is in love with love.” I interpret this in two ways. First, the Knight of Cups is enamoured with romantic love. Second, the Knight of Cups represents sensitivity.

✦ Ruled by the Heart

In both interpretations, the Knight of Cups is ruled entirely by the heart. If the Knight of Cups is a person in your life, you’ve likely already fallen for them. If your Knight seems mature and able to align their love of love with the real world, great! If this all feels too good to be true, then it likely is. Be wary of anyone who becomes emotionally intimate with you too quickly. Consider your Knight without your rose-colored glasses on. They may be all about the glamour of love, but are they up for the difficult moments too?

✦ If You are the Knight of Cups

If you are the Knight of Cups, take a breath. Maybe you are swept up in a romantic whirlwind and ignoring the other aspects of your life. Maybe you are just too busy dreaming to live in real life.

✦ Pining Type

Perhaps you are more the pining type of Knight, in love with a love that isn’t giving you enough back. Snap out of it. Turn your love toward yourself.
