Knight of Cups
Invitation · Romance · Imagination
The Knight of Cups is the card of the romantic. He follows his heart and offers his cup with grace. It describes invitations, proposals and the pursuit of what feels beautiful.
What is on the card
A knight in armour rides a white horse at a calm, steady pace, holding out a cup. His helmet and heels have wings, his tunic is patterned with fish, and a river flows through the landscape.
The outstretched cup is an offer: love, an invitation or a creative gift. The unhurried horse shows that this knight moves with feeling rather than haste. The wings suggest imagination, and the river and fish connect him to emotion and intuition.
