Knight of Cups

A slow-riding knight moves through a calm blue landscape with a cup extended ceremoniously forward like an offering — the Knight of Cups is the soul on the errand of love. An offer is coming — romantic, artistic, spiritual. It arrives not with conquest but with grace. Whether it is yours to accept depends on whether you can tell love from its performance.

Moodiness, emotional manipulation, or the idealist who can court but cannot commit — beauty used as a tool rather than an offering. Alternatively, unrealistic fantasies about a partner or project meeting a corrective dose of reality.
