Knight of Cups Tarot Card Meaning
What Knight of Cups means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Knight of Cups shows a knight approaching slowly on a white horse, holding out a cup. It belongs to the suit of Cups, the element of water (feelings, relationships and intuition), and its rank carries the theme of action and movement (Knight). The horse walks rather than gallops. An offer or a declaration arrives gently, and it is worth watching whether action follows the words.
