I chose my username after this Tarot Card because I felt that it represents how I am as a person. The image of the knight holding a cup symbolizes that he is a messenger of some type. The horse represents power, energy, and drive and the color white is a symbol of purity, spirituality and light. The cloak he wears has images of fish, the symbol of spirit, consciousness and creativity. His helmet and feet are winged, a symbol of active and creative imagination.
The Knight of Cups is in touch with his intuition and emotions. This Knight looks to his emotions to provide a map for his life direction. He is someone who is ruled by the heart rather than his head. When faced with a decision, he will always go with what his heart tells him, whether it is logical or not. Decisions will be made without much thought and instead they are made drawing upon inner direction, with the experience of warmth, friendliness, love and the need to share these qualities with everyone.
In a Tarot reading, The Knight of Cups is an optimistic good card to see. This card often comes bearing messages, usually the kind of good news that we all want to receive. In general, this card would tell you that things are going to be going well. Work projects are likely to move ahead in a positive way, sooner than you're expecting. In the context of love, this card means positive messages, things that you would like to hear. The Knight of Cups is a romantic and compassionate dreamer bringing along new opportunities or some sort of positive invitation. He represents self acceptance and an arrival of finding the proper path for your life.
If you are a female, the Knight of Cups appearing in a reading may be indicating that you will be receiving some attention from a particular potential partner, or at the very least, a male admirer. Love, romance and new relationships are indicated when the Knight of Cups appears in a spread.
