“‘Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.”

-Lord Alfred Tennyson

Knight of Cups Description and Interpretation

A man rides up on a white horse. It may remind us of a knight in shining armor from our fairytale endings. His helmet has two blue wings on them, which are a depiction of Hermes, the messenger to the gods. The Knight of Cups can bring us any type of emotional message. He is holding up a cup as if he is offering it to us. His horse looks beautiful, calm and elegant. This knight loves softness, art and beauty.

There are pyramid shaped sandy mountains in the background with palms and smaller desert looking shrubs. A small river cuts a tranquil trail through the card. The contrasting river and desert reminds us that the Knight of Cups can do a 360 on us. He can be a little wishy-washy. But he is also very adaptable to any type of romance. He never loves the same way twice, but loves each of his lovers uniquely and passionately.

Knight of Cups a Person

He loves to be groomed and is typically one of the more attractive knights. He or she can be someone refined.

He or she may brood over many things. Life is a subtle emotional drama for them. They may go from relationship to relationship. They can even have entire relationships in their own head. They are typically dreamy and soft spoken, but can also be quite a flirt.

They maybe in love with unrequited love, but will never admit it. They would prefer to brood over the “one that got away” then take someone with real potential who is available.

They may also be in love with being in love. The idea of love is extremely important to them. They idealize love to the highest extreme. Love is very important for them. You’ll never see the Knight of Cups settling for someone. They will wait for their ideal love forever if necessary.

John Snow from Game of Thrones is exactly like the Knight of Cups. He is brooding, gallant, fierce, yet sensitive and down to earth. He loved Yigrette, but since he’s a slower moving, brooding knight, it took him a while to warm up to her. In fact, most of the women in his life flocked to him. He didn’t have to do much of the pursual. He loved Dani, but this ended in a very Knight of Cups way – with duty and drama.

Knight of Cups as a Feeling

You are feeling very much in love. Life with this person maybe very dreamy and romantic. It may be a romance just for the sake of romance. They feel a lot, but do not act on those feelings very often. They may literally think and brood over you or the feeling forever before then announcing that they are in love.
