Knight of Cups
He rides toward feeling, not asking where the road leads. Romance, passion, readiness to plunge headlong. Beautiful precisely in his impracticality—a knight of feelings, not reason.
Romance sours into sentimentality, passion into obsession. The cup in the knight's hands is empty, but he keeps riding, not noticing. Sometimes following your heart is just unwillingness to use your head.
A rider carries a cup like the Holy Grail. A romantic in love with the very idea of love—beautiful, useless, touching.

- •Context matters — the same card can mean different things in different situations
- •Trust your intuition — if a card speaks to you differently, listen
- •Reversed doesn't mean bad — it often shows internal processes or blocked energy
- •Cards show possibilities, not fate — you always have the power to choose
