Knight of Cups

Upright

A knight on a slow-moving white horse, a cup held forward like an offering. The Knight of Cups is the romantic — the person who shows up with the flowers, the poem, the well-worded apology. Whether that's you or someone in your life. The card honors the gesture. Just notice whether it's followed by the work of staying. The cup is real. So is what you do after the cup.

Reversed

The cup still extended but the heart absent. The Knight of Cups reversed is the gesture without the substance, the love-bombing, the romance that doesn't survive the third week. Sometimes it's the opposite: the moodiness, the broken promise, the affection that disappears when feelings get hard. The card asks for follow-through. Anyone can write a poem. The work is to live in the room after.
