Tarot Card Meanings >

de La Tempérance dans la tarot de Marseille


The Knight of Cups is a highly emotional creature. He is sensitive, poetic and given to intense romantic feelings. If you draw this card, it bodes well for your romantic prospects. Existing romances will flourish and if you are single you may find a special someone soon.

In addition, drawing the Knight of Cups may herald an important arrival. Expect someone or something to arrive soon that will have emotional resonance for you. Be prepared for the arrival and make sure that you are emotionally ready to accept it.

Especially when drawn in the reversed position, the Knight of Cups may be cautioning you that you are over emotional. Make sure that you are acting temperamental when you should be sensitive or fanciful when you should be imaginative.

Interpretation

This draw has a deeply emotional and romantic character. If it concerns you directly, it means that you demonstrate exceptional sensitivity, which allows you to create an original way of looking at your life. "Ah! Strike your heart, that's where genius is", as one of the most beautiful verses of Alfred de Musset said so well!

You are overflowing with love and you can't imagine living a life without passion. Your actions are the result of your feelings and you use all your strengths for the sole purpose of accomplishing your quest. You also enjoy sharing special moments with your loved ones, surrounding them with warmth, laughter and tenderness. A past master in communication, your enthusiasm seduces and attracts. Your sensitivity is deeply empathetic and you know very well how to step to one side so you can support your loved ones.

Your friends reciprocate, and actively participate in your emotional stability. They give you their advice and teach you how to temper your sensitivity. Without their practical advice, you would probably throw yourself into unattainable projects.

Ask yourself

•The Knight of Cups is a highly romantic figure. Like other Knights, he is interested in seduction and building relationships with romantic partners. Are you doing enough to acknowledge your close friend's or romantic partner’s emotional needs?

•The Knight of Cups is also an intuitive figure who understands the importance of listening to his instincts. Drawing this card upright often means that you might be able to learn from his example. Do you put off making important decisions because you don’t trust the little voice inside you?

•In addition to helping you look inward, the Knight of Cups can also help you look outward. He often serves as a messenger of things to come, namely the arrival of someone or something with emotional benefit. Do you act with emotional integrity?

La symbolique de la Tempérance


• Gray: The Knight’s gray horse represents restlessness but also mystery. The knight wants to explore the emotional landscape of his humanity. 

• Movement : Deliberate movements of horse and rider symbolize calm and peace.

• Fish : Fish stand for creativity, spirituality and a rich inner life.

• Armor : The Knight is beginning to explore his emotional depth but is still playing defense.

• Stream : While the Knight does not directly touch the water, the horse's hoof is about to. The stream represents exploration without full commitment; testing the waters.

• Mountains : Growth of feelings and understanding over time. Culmination of experiences.

The Knight of Cups rides alone, which can be a blessing or a curse for him. He is a sensitive and romantic soul, not given to fighting in spite of his profession as a warrior. A a member of the water suit, the Knight of Cups is more in touch with his emotions and intuition than other Knights, but he is no less of a Knight for that.
