What you see on the card
A knight in armour with a small winged helmet rides a white horse at a slow walk, one hand holding out a golden cup. Ahead are a river and rocky hills.
Knight of Cups upright
The knight bringing a cup as an offer: romance, an invitation from the heart, an idealist following a dream
Knight of Cups reversed
Sweet promises that are not kept, and affection that changes with every mood
In love and relationships
In love, the Knight of Cups is the romantic arriving with an offer — a proposal, an invitation, a declaration of feelings. It favours heartfelt gestures. Reversed, it warns of sweet promises that are not kept or affection that changes with every mood.
In career and money
At work, it brings an attractive offer, a creative opportunity or the chance to follow what you love. Make sure the dream has a practical side. With money, beware of decisions made purely on feeling.
As advice
As advice: follow your heart, and then follow through. Make the gesture — and make sure your actions keep the promise your words are making.
In a reading, a card is never read alone: its position, its orientation and the cards beside it change what it says.
