XII – Knight of Cups
Keywords: Compassion, Calm, Supportive, Diplomatic
Knight of Cups rides forth with romance and idealism, seeking beauty and meaningful connection. In the Golden Dawn system, the Knight represents the fiery part of Water—emotion in motion, the active pursuit of the heart's desire, passion directed toward its goal.
The Knight of Cups follows his heart, pursuing dreams and creative passions with unwavering devotion. Unlike the charging Knight of Wands, this figure moves gracefully, offering his cup like a sacred offering. He is the poet, the romantic, the artist who sees beauty where others see only the mundane. His quest is for the ideal—perfect love, perfect beauty, perfect expression of the soul's longing.
As Fire of Water, the Knight represents the passionate pursuit of emotional fulfillment, the active seeking of love, beauty, and meaning. The Knight of Cups asks you to embrace your feelings and move toward what inspires you. He warns, however, against becoming so lost in the ideal that reality forever disappoints, or so devoted to the quest that arrival becomes impossible.
Upright: Romance, pursuit, passion, creativity, following dreams, idealism, proposals, artistic temperament.
Reversed: Unrealistic expectations, moodiness, disappointment, jealousy, disillusionment.
