Knight of Cups Tarot Card, in its core, usually represents an opportunity for romance and new relationships. This card is associated with the Water element, representing the Zodiac signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, and its season is Summer.
Knight of Cups Meaning
When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawing, the Knight of Cups may come up straight, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers do like to read reversed tarot cards. Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic readers conduct their readings because a Tarot Card deck is connected to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.
Upright Position
Merging the qualities of “Knight” and the qualities of the “Cups Suit,” the Knight of Cups card would represent:
| Emphasizing love and feelings | Very romantic |
| Seeing life as a poetry | Remembering special events and dates |
| Having a wild imagination | Being a visionary |
| Being sensitive, empathic | Being diplomatic |
| Valuing inner self | Trying to understand |
Reverse Position
In a reverse position, the Knight of Cups would mean precisely the opposite of its core qualities, bringing in the drawing:
| Overly jealous or emotional | Being melodramatic |
| Acting hot and cold | The ideas coming to be nothing |
| Shading the truth, manipulator | Being temperamental, moody |
| Getting offended quickly, depressed | Very introverted avoids participation |
| Withdrawing from social life |
Horizontal Position
There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal positions. If the Knight of Cups would sit in a horizontal position, it advises you to be more positive, empathic, but also apply logic to your actions.
You may tend to be someone who tends to take everything to heart and also make movements according to your heartbeat, as you are a romantic person, who is usually driven by their feelings. You rely a lot on your intuition and handle issues with diplomacy. This card in a horizontal position would indicate that you need to apply logic to what you are doing. Following your heart and understanding, people from a more profound level is an ability that few have, but if you don’t do your calculations, or if you lack all the information you need, you may easily make a wrong move. You don’t always know what is going on behind the scenes, even though your energetic perception of others might be right.

What not to do?

Sure, you want a magical life, but you also want to make sure nothing is hiding behind a caring smile or grand gestures of love. The Knight of Cups tends to rely too much on feelings and emotions, which means they are emotional people, but also they know how to manipulate others through emotions.

Reverse Position (Love and Relationships)
If you pull the Knight of Cups, reversed, indicates that your relationship is taking a pretty bad turn. Maybe you did not have these issues in the beginning. Still, now you or your partner are showing signs of being toxic, controlling, jealous, and even abusive towards the other, either emotionally or physically. Maybe you were very committed to each other in the beginning, or you made up your mind later, but suddenly one of you or both of you are commitment-afraid, trying to find a way out of it, or postponing it.

What not to do?
The Knight of Cups would advise you to find a job where you can apply your skills and creative ideas, a position where you will feel fulfilled.

Maybe the job or the boss you work for asks for things to be done a certain way, and you have to work like a robot, or they will not allow you to participate in any project where you could create and build something yourself. It can also indicate missed opportunities or offers that have fallen through, either by outside impact, or your own choice to withdraw your application.
