The Inner Meaning of the Knight of Cups in Tarot
The Knight of Cups is the image of an intelligent youth. As a court card, it may represent either an actual person or a situation. Often this card is both at the same time. As a person, it may be a youth or young adult who is the bringer of ideas. He is quick-witted, intelligent, and highly imaginative.
On the other hand, he is easily bored, and searches constantly for new forms of mental and emotional stimulation. Still, he is both artistic and refined, so his boredom is often masked out of courtesy. He has high principles and standards for himself, and is well-liked by all those around him. However, he is also a bit of a dreamer, and can be easily persuaded or discouraged by the right individual.
As a situation, the Knight of Cups is a powerful indication of change, usually abrupt change. This is generally positive for those people who can accept such excitement. But for those who resist change, this card can indicate hardship and some strife as they attempt to adapt to the new situation.
The Queen of Cups follows this card. The Knight of Cups is the second court card of the Suit of Cups.
