Knight of Cups

Romance, charm, and the quest for the ideal

Follow your heart. The path of love is the only one worth taking, but ensure you see reality clearly.

The romantic hero. The Knight of Cups is on a mission of love, guided by his heart and fueled by his imagination.

Introduction

The Knight of Cups is the classic romantic hero. He is the poet, the lover, and the dreamer who is actually taking action to find his Grail. Unlike the Page who dreams, the Knight rides out to make the dream real.

He represents a person (or an aspect of yourself) who is in love with love. He brings offers, proposals, and invitations, usually of a romantic or creative nature. He is guided by his intuition rather than logic.
