Knight of Cups Tarot Meaning, A Complete Guide!

The Knight of Cups, A Complete Guide!

The Knight of Cups is the final card in the suit of Cups, and it leads the transition from the inner world of emotions and memories to the suit of Pentacles, the realm of manifestation and incarnation.

In the Rider Waite deck introduced in 1910, the illustration on the card shows a young knight riding through the desert, mounted on a white mare, a symbol of purity, spirituality, and energy. The horse seems to be moving slowly, though full of confidence.

There’s a golden cup in the Knight’s right hand, while he’s subtly holding the reins of the horse with his left hand. The cup is his Holy Grail, his offering, and his quest for love, which is his ultimate truth.

His shiny, silver armor is illustrated with fish and waves, representing the flow of life and emotional depth. The wings on his helmet and boots make him a messenger. His message is one of grace, love, and beauty. He carries no weapon because he doesn’t need to force his way. He defeats his enemies with love.

The Knight is heading towards a river, a pleasant sight to be found in a desert. Perhaps he’s heading for an oasis. The sky is clear; a soft blue color meaning that the Knight has no worries nor negative thoughts in his mind. He’s completely focused on his goal, with almost spiritual devotion.

In the background we can see a few trees and mountains, meaning that there are still some obstacles in his way, but he can find a way through knowing that life can thrive and blossom even in the most desolate lands.

This card means being open with your feelings and acting out of love. It is a symbolic gesture to express what words fail to describe and only the heart knows.

If this resonates with you, try to think rationally and acknowledge these negative feelings as something that will pass in time. Focus on the road ahead, not on the events that left you wounded. Love can hurt sometimes, and an emotional armor won’t help you to heal.

In this context, the Knight is either a bitter loner or a drifter who goes from one relationship to the next and will often bug his friends with insecurities and trivial issues. He cannot get past the river in front of him, because he’s afraid of the stream.

He will often blame himself for everything that’s wrong with the world, and perceive a short hill blocking his way as an impassable mountain.

The Knight of Cups Reversed as Intentions / What Someone Wants

When reversed, the Knight of Cups is ambivalent as an intentions card.

The Knight of Cups in reverse symbolizes a person, who not only does not know what they want, but they are also jealous of other people. They might show toxic behavior, belittle others, and negotiate over absurd demands.

If a reversed Knight of Cups in your reading describes what somebody wants, this person will claim to have the best intentions, while only creating problems. They will be easily offended and will strike back if you deny them what they want.

Their feelings might be true, but they don’t know how to properly address them and might act in an unpredictable, selfish way. You might hear them fantasizing about a utopia or an impossible dream, trying to compensate for their inability to cope with the real world.

It would be pointless to blame them because they’re not completely aware of what is going on. Keep your distance, and try to reason with them in a manner they will understand.

Is the Knight of Cups Tarot Card a Yes or No?

The Knight of Cups might not always know which way to direct his energies, but it is overall a positive card.

This card might concern a situation that requires a bit of diplomacy. The answer could be “Yes, however…” meaning that the person involved does not prefer the direct approach.

The Knight of Cups shows enthusiasm, yet he will retreat if a hunch warns him off.

An indicator of motivation and action, the Knight of Cups is most likely a “Yes” card, especially in questions that involve emotional issues. The card calls on you to listen to your intuition and follow your heart.

The Knight of Cups Tarot Card as an Obstacle / Challenge

The challenge that the Knight of Cups has to face is of an emotional nature.

The Knight of Cups represents the quest to find true love. The challenge is to embrace your feelings, appreciate solitude, and give to others the blessings you receive. The Knight of Cups might also appear as a rival, someone who wants to prove they’re better and more virtuous than you.

The obstacle here is attachment, whether it is an attachment to a person, an object, an idea, or a certain emotion. By keeping what we desire too close, we lose sight of the real world. Healthy motivation and a positive attitude are required to move forward.

Furthermore, the card speaks about finding a purpose in life, a reason to be joyful and content. The Knight of Cups moves with imagination and sensitivity towards the success of his mission, and that might often mean going through a lot of stress and facing many adversities.

The Knight of Cups Reversed as an Obstacle / Challenge

In reverse, the Knight of Cups describes the difficulty of compromising between what you feel and what is possible.

As an obstacle, the Knight of Cups reversed denotes emotional turmoil and escapism. Lacking purpose and direction, the person involved cannot deal with their feelings and struggles to cope with reality.

In that case, the Knight of Cups might represent alcohol abuse, or withdrawing from society and shutting people off. Without a specific aim, the person has lost their way and woke up in a desert made of insecurities, daydreams, and obsessions.

The card might refer to being a passive bystander, not acting on dreams before they wither, and obsessing over the trauma.

The Knight of Cups in reverse might also be a bitter friend who holds a grudge against you out of spite and childish whim.

The Knight of Cups Tarot Card as Action

Knights are the most active of the court cards. The Knight of Cups acts selflessly, and with grace.

As a card symbolizing action to be taken, the Knight of Cups is about moving from imagination to creation in a considerate way that’s beneficial to everyone. If you feel that you are drawn or called to something, follow that instinct blindly.

For matters of the heart, it means expressing your feelings with honesty and giving a person all the support you can.

The Knight of Cups tries to find creative and imaginative solutions to real problems. Maybe this is a sign for you to make the first move despite difficulties, compromise in a delicate situation, or trust in a far-fetched idea that you thought was too good to be true until now.

Maybe where logic fails, the heart can triumph.

The Knight of Cups Reversed as Action

The Knight of Cups reversed might serve as a warning that you are moving at a snail’s pace.

As an action card, the reversed Knight of Cups calls on you to bring your emotions to light, because they are confusing you and keeping you behind. To realize your dreams, you have to act on them and keep at it every single day.

Maybe you have succumbed to boredom and depression. Or the failures of the past discourage you from making progress, and not for want of trying.

The Knight of Cups reversed means that you are letting your emotions affect your way of thinking. You should clear the confusion in your mind and focus on what’s important, namely acting on your dreams.

The heart sometimes can be swayed by negativity, and prevent you from being yourself. You thought about it enough! Now it’s time to do something that will get you on the path to living the life you want to live.

Follow your heart! Ignore the negative thoughts, cover your wounds, and listen to what your heart is trying to tell you. Act on your ideas, because you are the only one who can make them real. You’ve come a long way, and you’re almost there.

As an advice card, the Knight of Cups tells you to never give up on what you think is right for you. Others might have advised you to forget your wild fantasies and listen to reason. But this card urges you to pay no mind; your intuition is right.

Don’t just mindlessly rush forward, because there are still challenges ahead. Nevertheless, you are on the right track. Push through the fatigue, and believe in your dreams.

The Knight of Cups has ridden through the desert for miles and miles. To give up now, it would mean abandoning the most sacred and beloved cause.

The Knight of Cups Reversed as Advice

When reversed in the advice position, the Knight of Cups is a warning that you may have lost your way and have been chasing a mirage.

The Knight of Cups, in reverse, represents a person who has fallen in love with an illusion. They ignore all the signs, do not listen to reason, and jump to illogical conclusions.

If the Knight of Cups appears reversed, it might mean that you are exaggerating your emotions. You are treading on a road that leads to loneliness and disappointment.

Due to not trying hard enough or expecting something unreal, you might be in for disappointment when the Knight of Cups appears reversed.

This might be a temporary setback where you will feel alone and helpless. Find the strength and motivation to persevere, and think about what mistakes brought you to this gloomy place.

The card might also be a sign that someone whom you trusted will turn their back on you for personal reasons. Don’t nag them; they have their own troubles and maybe there’s nothing you can do right now to mend the situation. Let some time pass and things will eventually get better.

The Knight of Cups Tarot Card as the Future

When the Knight of Cups shows up in the future position, it speaks of joyful action and emotional fulfillment.

The Knight of Cups, as a future card, indicates a new person who will arrive in your life, or someone you just met and will have a significant influence over you. They will admire you and support you, initiating a meaningful relationship. It might also be a sign that you will be creative and imaginative.

In a reading that concerns your long-term future, the Knight of Cups heralds a change for the better. You will find a purpose, a new direction, ideas that will inspire you, and people who will love you with all their hearts.

It’s a sign that you will be able to move past obstacles with grace and certainty. If someone new appeared in your life, trust their opinion and motives because they care for you and will gladly help in any kind of trouble.

The Knight of Cups Reversed as the Future

When reversed, the Knight of Cups bears ill news and disillusionment.

As a card that indicates a future situation, the Knight of Cups in reverse warns you not to chase after fantasies. You have to be grounded, or your feelings might overwhelm you and do a lot of damage to your self-esteem. You may stay alone for quite a while, and feel your energies and passion depleted.

It is possible that what you thought was your life’s work, your most intense desire, will prove to be an illusion with no chance of manifesting. A lover might disappear overnight, a dream might fall through, and all your efforts will be to no avail.

See this as a chance to find a new path and learn from your mistakes. You may feel like avoiding your problems, but will that do you any good? When one door closes, another one opens, and that’s when our courage is put to the test.

The reversed Knight of Cups describes a person who justifies their actions as altruistic and meaningful, but their sullen demeanor can often kill the vibe right off the bat.

They might pretend like they are on a very important mission, fighting for the self-righteous cause of founding a utopia until you catch them complaining about how unfair the world is to them. Quite often they will resign from their task out of boredom and envy for the success of others.

A person such as this is not malicious, nor capable of hurt. They just don’t know how to move on, trying to avoid responsibilities, because they have been disappointed in the past and believe that they have to be selfish to get over their trauma.

I love my Asakuki Diffuser, I have this going in my living room or my office with either peppermint or lavender. The diffuser holds more water than other diffusers and lasts longer. It also has a timer so that I doesn’t run dry. The Diffuser adds a nice gentle scent to my home.

I also love having my White Sound Machine and my Asakuki Diffuser running in my living room. Sometimes I will choose the sound of rain or the ocean or even thunder. It depends on my mood.

I’ll fill the diffuser with lavender or peppermint. With the thunder in the background and the smell of peppermint, it’s like being whisked away to a faraway place!

I really love the Himalayan salt Lamp and my Crystal Tree of Life. I have them in my office and they create a “zen” feel for me while I’m working.

      Hi Vanina,

      Yes, I am slowly adding the meanings for all the Minor Arcana. It’s a long process and I want to do each of them justice! I appreciate your comments. At the moment, I’ve been adding 1 meaning per month (these articles are often really big, over 9,000 words) and take time to get just right.
