Keywords
Upright
The Knight of Chalices is representative of emotional awareness. You are in touch with your inner feelings and prone to flights of fancy. Despite the power of fantasies, the Knight is also a reminder to keep yourself from getting swept away by your ideals of romance. Abstract notions must be balanced with action or else they remain frivolous passing fancies.
Reverse
Someone has lost control of their emotions. The Knight warns of a lack of self-reflection, and being prone to moodiness and jealousy. He also refers to something that was initially very appealing, but later turns out to be a ruse. The Knight in reverse is a reality check; a veil of wishful delusion might be lifting, leaving cold disappointment and a much harsher truth. It is a reminder to watch your moody tendencies and be practical when you do not get exactly what you want.
