The Knight of Cups Tarot Meaning
The Knight of Cups represents the person we become when we feel deeply passionate and motivated by something we care about. It might be a cause, a project, a person or even ourselves. The Knight of Cups helps us lean into what drives us and what we want to pour more of our energy into. It tells us that it’s ok to care about something intensely and want to work to nurture, grow and develop it further.
With this card, we’re also reminded that vulnerability doesn’t always have to be a scary or sad thing. We can be vulnerable in ways that make us feel excited and more alive. We can open doors with vulnerability, we can find new and extraordinary connections with others and the world we live in.
The Knight of Cups, due to its deeply emotional cups energy and its passionate fire energy, can be an all-consuming card, which, in short bursts, can be hugely beneficial. However, if we linger too long in this energy, or we push it to its extremes, we can find that we start to be overwhelmed and confused by so many intense energies all at once.
