Knight of Cups

An handsome knight looks over a fertile landscape, his winged helmet symbolizing imagination.

Knights represent motion and change. Whenever a Knight appears in a reading it means that long term conditions are going to come to an end. You may soon have the opportunity to branch out into new worlds, advance through education, or just get away from your routine. You are advancing toward your goals. Follow your instincts, and expect positive changes and a fresh start.

As with all Court cards, it is also possible for a Knight to represent a person. In this case, the Knight of Cups can represent a person of intelligence who is a romantic dreamer, possibly skilled in an art. Untruthfulness or idleness could also be represented.
