Knight of Cups from the Waite deck

He's confident in own strength, one might even say that he admires the impression he makes on people.

We will see the same image on a card from a deck released at the beginning of the last century, Tarot-93, which was compiled by Nikolai Kolesov. In the book "The ABC of Tarot" the author gives detailed description representative of this Minor Arcana. It is slightly different from that adopted in the Rider-Waite classification, but we will study the interpretation of the traditional school. It is easy to remember and suitable for a beginner.

I advise beginning masters working with cards to study in detail the classical symbolism of the Tarot. First you need to gain academic knowledge on the subject, and only after that move on to mastering new decks.

The video is dedicated to the meaning of the Knight of Cups card from the Wild Unknown Tarot deck:

The main idea of ​​the map is formulated in several points:

Horseman of Cups Tarot deck-93

Please note that many card meanings cannot be called positive. But the Knight of Cups cannot be accused of self-interest or deception; everything he does is sincere and from the heart.

good and bad qualities appear on the Horseman of Cups depending on the position in which the symbol appears in the layout.

Meaning of the card in the upright position

In an upright position, the Knight of Cups is impeccable. He personifies such virtues as:

• sincerity;
• honesty;
• openness;
• penchant for romanticism;
• generosity;
• gullibility.

In combination with favorable Arcana, the Horseman of Cups indicates kind person, always ready to help. He is tactful, loyal to other people's weaknesses, and does not allow himself to speak badly about people. The Knight of Cups is an idealist and wants everyone around him to be the same. Faced with harsh reality, he withdraws into himself, becomes selfish and callous.

Reversed card meaning

In the reverse position we see that the plus changes to a minus. The Horseman of Cups indicates the insincere, deceitful and dangerous person, hiding his true face under the mask of goodness.

The neighboring maps will tell you why this happened.

In situational scenarios, an inverted symbol indicates a lack of prospects. A person is mired in worries, does not know how to enjoy life, and denies the bright sides of existence.

Cards often fall out with an inverted meaning, but it is not always worse than the upright one. I advise beginning tarot readers to practice small layouts, for five to seven cards. This will make it easier to see the whole picture of fortune telling, compare symbolic pairs, and assess the situation.

Detailed analysis of the Knight of Cups card for beginners:

The meaning of the Knight of Cups in fortune telling about affairs, work, finances

Cups characterize the situation at work differently than Pentacles. The money suit speaks of benefits and the material side of things. The cups paint an emotional picture of what is happening. They help to understand relationships with people, because it is quarrels and conflicts that cause failures. A difficult moral climate does not allow you to work productively.

In an upright position, the Knight of Cups says that everything is fine with you. The work brings satisfaction, which means that the material side of the matter does not suffer.

The Horseman of Cups intuitively sees what is inaccessible to others, knows how to notice details and use them in his work.

If we talk about professional guidance, which takes place under the map, then a person should think about a creative career. Horsemen of Cups make good journalists, advertising agents, designers, and interior designers. Art is your path, the cards say.

Over time, the interpretation of Tarot symbolism changes. What was relevant under Papus and Rider-Waite is outdated. Decks created these days help us look at the situation differently, in a new way.

Use different cards for thematic layouts. Create your own system for deciphering symbols based on experience and observations.

In a reverse position, the Arcanum indicates tension. A person is unable to realize his potential in his profession, a conflict is brewing in the team, and management does not value the employee.

Emotions and excessive impulsiveness make it difficult to look at the situation critically. Perhaps a person is driven by banal envy of the success of others, so he cannot concentrate on fulfilling his duties.

The meaning of the Knight of Cups in relationships

Emotions and feelings are the element of the Knight of Cups. In the upright position, it means comfort, a pleasant pastime, and intimate connection. Depending on the question asked of the cards, the Horseman of Cups indicates either a young man, a meeting with whom will take place in the near future, or an easy romance, light flirting. Most often, such relationships are not intended to last long and do not end with a wedding. The Knight of Cups is not a family man, he is in eternal search and only after forty, or even later, finally finds his soul mate.

For women looking for happiness, the appearance of a card in the layout warns of the unreliability of their partner. Do not flatter yourself about your new lover, he will not become a permanent life partner.

For single people, the appearance of the Knight promises acquaintance, moments of joy, and a pleasant pastime. Happiness and joy are already on the doorstep, but they will not last long. Be content with what fate gives here and now, don’t plan life together until old age.

Knight of Cups from the Witch Tarot deck

In reverse position, the Horseman of Cups symbolizes negative sides falling in love: jealousy, groundless suspicions, whims.

A reversed card speaks of a relationship in which one partner is completely subordinate to the other. Manipulation by a lover or spouse, stupid grievances, an infantile attitude towards life.

Do not count on support and understanding if the Knight of Cups appears inverted when asked about his attitude towards you.

Each fortune teller has her favorite layouts that she uses in her work. Interact with the cards daily, so you will gain experience and remember the meanings of the symbols easier.

The list can easily be expanded by identifying the Horseman of Cups as the card of the day. Observe what kind of people life brings you together, analyze the experience gained, use it to work with a magical tool.

Psychological state and the Knight of Cups

The cards advise you to monitor your emotions. Don’t be tempted to force things if you see the Horseman of Cups in your reading.

The cup of wine he holds in his hand is full, try not to spill the precious drink!

The person who received the card is self-possessed, listens to outside advice, tries to control emotions, although this does not always work.

Innate sensuality pushes you to adventure, makes you chase mirages, which leads to sad consequences, disappointment, and apathy.

In the upright position, the Horseman of Cups does not get discouraged over trifles, does not know how to be offended for a long time, forgives people for minor and major mistakes, and does not hold a grudge against others.

He avoids harsh judgments, but does not wear rose-colored glasses, he tries to find golden mean. Before us is a healthy person, his psyche is stable.

A little about the author:

Tarot reader Esoterics for me is universal key, opening many doors behind which new knowledge, opportunities and prospects are hidden.

More than 20 years ago I first picked up Tarot cards. Since then I have used them for more than just predictions. The world of Tarot is an amazing reality, immersing yourself in which you will find answers to questions and be able to change your life.

Straight position

The general interpretations of this Arcana are as follows: enthusiasm, romanticism, warmth, tenderness. When the Knight of Cups appears in a reading as a description of a person’s character, it denotes a loyal, chivalrous nature, believing in high ideals. As a rule, such an Arcanum indicates that this is a diplomat in the best sense of the word, that is, a tactful and pleasant person.

Additionally, as a court card, the Knight of Cups denotes a man no older than 40 years of age. This may even be a completely young man, but he has quite a certain system values. It is very likely that this man was born under one of the “water” zodiac constellations. However, on the other hand, we are talking here simply about creative personality who knows how to indulge in her favorite work passionately and unselfishly.

In combination with other cards, the Knight of Cups sometimes gives quite specific interpretations. For example, with the Wheel of Fortune he speaks of significant changes in life, with the World - that what was planned is a true gift of fate, with the Court - that it is time to turn to higher powers for help.

Inverted position

In the case of the Knight of Cups reversed, you are dealing with insincerity or your own bias, which is expressed in having your head in the clouds and being ready to take everything at your word. If such a Knight falls on a certain proposal in the scenario, then he suggests that his prospects will not be rosy. Well, what the essence of the problem is, the neighboring cards should tell you. So, in a pair with the Devil, such a card warns of ambiguity, with the Moon - that someone is holding back important information, with the Hanged Man - that things will not go beyond intentions at all.
