I. Knight of Cups Rider Waite image description

The Knight of Cups is seen as a young knight, riding on a white horse, holding a cup as if he were an ambassador. Unlike the Knight of Wands or the Knight of Swords, this Knight lets the horse moves slowly instead of galloping, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The horse represents strength, energy, and motivation, and of course, white color is a symbol of purity, spirituality, and light. He wears a fish-embroidered cape which is a symbol of spirit, consciousness, and creativity. The iron hat and winged feet symbolize a dynamic and creative imagination.

On the positive side, the Knight of Cups carries a sensitive soul. He is a poet – a lover of romantic and subtle things. He uses his imagination miraculously and penetrates the deepest level of emotion. He knows how to create beauty and share it with others. His dreamlike state is like fairy tales or myths, and his emotions often overwhelm his mind. He is also erratic and easily offended by others. He can not bear the discomfort and will always let others handle it.

If the energy of this Knight is lacking, then the poetic element may be necessary. Are you live in an ivory tower? Please express your feelings. Do you always make realistic choices? Try replacing it with a choice of a little irrational. Are you avoiding your inner self? You should take time considering your inner self and meditate on your life. Let this Knight take you into his beautiful and romantic world.
