Knight of Cups

Traditional Meaning

Passion. Romance. A charming young man who brings emotions alive.

Going Deeper

With the knight, we enter the stage where we fall in love. Trust is established, and there is a desire to move forward towards intimacy. Sometimes the knight can be unreliable; his heart can be fickle. Trust your emotions. As with all court cards, the level of personal development can be crucial in determining how the card will manifest. In someone who is emotionally well developed, this card is likely to indicate the best possible expression and suggests someone artistic, visionary and creative. He could still be charming at the lowest end of the scale; he'll say all the right things yet never deliver what he's promised.

Astro Insight

The water signs of Cancer,  Scorpio, and Pisces. Crowley gives from 21' Libra - 20' Scorpio. Look to see if there are other cup cards, as this should help to narrow the sign down. The two or three would indicate more Cancerian energy, whereas the six would be Scorpio. The Moon, The Hanged Man and the eight, nine and ten of cups could indicate Pisces.

Examples With Other Cards

Cups: with the ace, two, three, six, nine, or ten, it's more likely that this person is trustworthy and genuine. With the seven or eight of cups...I'd suggest being careful until some time has passed and a proper evaluation can be made.
