Knight of Cups

The Knight of Cups is literally riding. He does not direct his steed but rather allows it to carry him towards his destiny. This lofty knight, wholly dedicated to his symbol, the cup, is undoubtedly the ultimate allegory of pure and selfless love. His purpose is to convey the gift he so gracefully holds to all of humanity. That is why he faces to the left. In the reality of his journey of consciousness, the Knight of Cups reaches a state of emotional grace, pouring the overflowing contents of his chalice onto the receptive earth of the pentacles before him. In practice, the Knight of Cups puts his heart into everything he does. Whether he is watching over his loved ones, dedicating himself to a charitable or humanitarian cause, acting as a patron of the fine arts, or declaring his love to his beloved, the Knight of Cups is the champion of sincere, altruistic, and spontaneous love. Based on "Philip IV on Horseback," Diego Velazquez (1599 - 1660)
