Tarot Tuesday – Knight of Cups

Hello, everyone and welcome to the first of many posts to come on TAROT TUESDAY!

I love the card that we get to start this series off with!

The Suit of Cups Tarot cards deal with the emotional level of consciousness and are associated with love, feelings, relationships and connections.

The card I drew is the KNIGHT OF CUPS.

The Knight of Cups represents Creativity, romance, charm, imagination, beauty.

What an appropriate card for authors!

The knight rides on a white horse and holds out a golden cup as if he bears a message from the heart. Over his armor, the knight wears a cloak covered with images of fish, the symbol of water, consciousness and creativity. His helmet and boots are winged, a symbol of an active and creative imagination and an appreciation for beautiful things.

The Knight of Cups is the classic romantic of the Tarot deck. He is in touch with his intuition and emotions, and he uses them masterfully to charm and attract others. He shows compassion and understanding towards others because he has learned to understand his own feelings and emotions. The Knight is kind, caring and very in touch with his feminine side. He might be found writing a romantic poem to his lover, creating art inspired by his innermost feelings or appreciating a vibrant sunset with a glass of champagne in his hand. His heart is wide open, and he wears it on his sleeve. He shares his love freely with others, without constraint or worry; he is in love with love itself.

When the Knight of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you thrive on all things beautiful and are inspired by the many creative outlets available to you. 

The Knight of Cups is motivated by action. You have dreamed about what it is you want to create and now are moving forward with this dream to make it a reality. It may be an art project or something you feel ‘called’ to do, based on your emotions, imagination and intuition. Be open to exploring your passions and your big ideas. You may find yourself drawn to a particular passion or hobby and now is the time to turn it into ‘something.’ While you are in no hurry to reach the finish line, keep in mind that true imagination feeds on action; if you do nothing with your dreams, they will remain just that – dreams and not reality.

That, of course, is the short version interpretation of this card. If you’d like to read about it in more detail, I invite you to visit BiddyTarot.com.

Thank you for tuning in for the first segment of TAROT TUESDAY! Make it a great day to create! I welcome your comments!

  2. Whoo Hooo!!! So cool that you found it fitting to your personal situation! That’s what I love about pulling the cards. I depend strictly on what the Universe gives me! Thanks for stopping by, Rob! Onward and upward!

  4. Jan, I enjoyed reading about this knight and my curiosity about Tarot cards is ignited…eager to know more! Thanks for the inspiration.

  5. I’m a classic romantic at heart. It sounds like the Knight of Cups would be a god fit for me. Your description reminds me of archaic ballads and legends of old!

    1. That’s a great comparison, Mae! I too am a romantic at heart, so this was such a great card to start off this series with! I’m so glad you stopped by! Hugs!

  6. Great! I love this card, sister. It signifies good things for authors. I know a lot of authors who draw Tarot cards for their characters and plot a book using them. I’ve always found that interesting. Love you dearly.

    1. I find that an interesting way to form characters and plot too, sister. Something to ponder! Thank you SO much for stopping by and leaving a comment! I love you!

  9. Back to the office today, so my creativity meter is down a scosh. I get to leave at mid-day to make a presentation, so there could be some creativity in that.

    1. And then there’s that time in the car traveling back and forth, Craig. You never know what might hit you! Speaking of such things, it’s been a long time since you’ve shared a post with your muse. 🙂

  10. I hope all of us who read your post can take advantage of what the cards signify. I’m going to assume from the Knight of Cups that today will be very creative. Enjoyed the post, Jan.

  11. Fascinating, Jan. What a lovely card – creativity, romance, charm, imagination, beauty. WOW! I’m hoping for a magical day, and I certainly hope yours is as well. ♥
