A heartfelt offer is riding your way — charming, romantic, and led entirely by feeling. The Knight of Cups advances calmly on a white horse, cup held out like an invitation. As a person, he is the romantic and the idealist, guided by his heart, imaginative and often artistic. As an energy, he brings a proposal, a creative opportunity, or an invitation to follow your feelings toward something beautiful. Say yes to the tenderness, but keep a little ground under your feet. Follow your heart wholeheartedly while staying honest about what is real beneath the romance.

Symbolism & imagery

An armored knight rides a walking white horse, holding a cup out before him, winged helm and heels, a river winding through the calm landscape — romance and idealism on a gentle advance.
