He has ceased to care about the opinion of the public, he fulfills his high mission. He does not knows whether the cup he holds in his hand is empty or full; but he is ready to share all that he has, and to accept with gratitude the gifts of others.

In divination — the ability to inspire others with what a person needs to fulfill his intention, or the presence of some hidden intention.

Inverted — suggestibility, that is, in some way dependence on other people's intentions .

DESCRIPTION: This card is called «Lord of Waves and Waters», and also «King of the Sea Host». Before us is a handsome knight in armor, riding a horse and holding a cup in his hand. He appears to be going on a campaign. In some Tarot decks, this Knight is accompanied by a crab and a peacock, which represent the active, vibrant qualities of the Water element. Elements: Fire—Water.

EXPLANATION: Drawing this card means that you are about to embark on a new mission or receive some new proposal. You may fall in love. You feel quite confident emotionally , in order to enter into a new relationship, but try to make sure that this relationship is sincere. The knight's helmet with wings indicates strong imaginative thinking, so perhaps your new partner has skills in the creative arts.

REVERSED CARD MEANING: If you have recently received an offer, check all the surrounding circumstances, because this offer may not be sincere. You tend to let your imagination run away with you. Beware of half-truths.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT LESSON: Measure seven times and cut once! Don't let appearances deceive you! Don't concentrate so much on the outer side of a sentence that you miss its content.

(N. Drewry «Tarot. A Step-by-Step Guide to Studying» )

The Knight of Cups signifies a kind, friendly atmosphere, a good mood and a wise smile. This is the time meditation, a sense of harmony, romantic dreams and a readiness to fall in love. Where there was discord and conflict, this card heralds reconciliation and peace. These are simply hours of rest, a time when we give free rein to our imagination, rejoice in the beauty of life, enjoy art, especially music.

WORK: A good atmosphere in the team, calm work, without rush jobs, which is why we are in a good mood and things are going «playfully». When changing jobs, the Knight of Cups shows that we intend to give preference to the creative, artistic side of our nature. Whether we will really decide on such a change of job can only be judged by the entire layout as a whole. The Knight of Cups mainly indicates our attitude to work, but says practically nothing about its content.

CONSCIOUSNESS: Here this card indicates that we are led by our feelings, creating an illusory picture of the world for ourselves. Having experienced a number of pleasant sensations, we are filled with delight and now look at the world through rose-colored glasses. The card can also mean an interest in the world of images, fairy tales, myths and dreams. However, in any case, our view remains superficial. Only the cards of the Priestess or the Moon lead into the depths.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: The main meaning of the Knight of Cups lies precisely in this area. Here it means a period of joy, love, affection, comfort, in a word — «spring», the beginning of a partnership. Or reconciliation, when partners begin to understand each other better, when they no longer need words.

A young man who has the same qualities as his symbolic parents. If the Knight of Cups Tarot card represents a specific person, then it is a person who shows a brotherly interest in the Questioner. He is reasonable, honest, ready to help you with all his strength — a true and reliable friend or even a lover.

If the cards indicate that he is a lover, then you can safely trust his love; even if the relationship ends in the future, he will do everything possible not to offend you.

If he is not a lover, then a person who will give you advice on the true nature of the person you are interested in.

Like the Queen, the Knight of Cups Tarot can be a dreamer. In this case, he is not a soothsayer, but a person with imagination, and this allows him to understand people's feelings as his own.

If the Knight of Cups does not represent a specific person, then expect news or an invitation; both will be positive, and the situation can be trusted.
