The Knight of Cups

The Knight of Chalices - Tarot of the Mermaids


The Knight of Cups is a sexy, intelligent artist. Poetic and dreamy, sometimes out of touch with reality. This is a very creative card and indicates a time of high energy, many new ideas, and potentially warns against too much daydream and too little action. As part of the Cups suit, the Knight is ruled by emotions. An inspiring card for starting your own business, if you can afford to follow your heart in that direction. The results aren't going to be mega profitable at first, but they are not bleak either. If you are happy just surviving paycheck to paycheck with a nice dinner here and there for a couple of years - you will be broke but fulfilled.

On the romantic front, this card indicates a sensitive and slightly rebellious young man. Very cute, nice hair, slender, artistic, and observant. Eyes are usually best feature. A Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, or a Virgo without the perfectionist streak (don't laugh, they do exist).

He will effortlessly become your best friend. A good listener, gives thoughtful and wise advice, and adores women, particularly woman who believe in their own beauty. He is a good match for ultra fragile and sensitive types but conversely, hates feeling needed or trapped. He has high tolerance for crazy ladies, but little patience for rudeness or excessive suspicion. An ideal friend, lover, and partner for another psychotic Water sign or an incredibly patient and self sacrificing Capricorn (did you want a career honey? I'm sorry, I need your fastidious nature to help organize MY life). Dangers are selfishness, extreme mood swings, wandering eye, and problem with authority.

Aguas, muchachitas: Before he becomes King, the Knight will make a lot of mistakes. Sometimes with your heart.
