Knight of Cups — Upright Meaning
The Knight of Cups rides slowly, offering his cup like a promise — the romantic of the tarot. This card is a heartfelt gesture, a romantic invitation, or the choice to follow your heart over your head. Let yourself be moved; not everything needs a spreadsheet.
Knight of Cups — Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Knight of Cups warns of charm without substance, moodiness, or romance that lives only in the imagination. Someone may be offering dreams instead of follow-through — including you. Check the reality beneath the gesture.
