Is the Knight of Cups a Yes or a No?
The knight approaches at a walk on a white horse, cup held out like an offering, armour decorated with fish. The answer is yes for romance, invitations, proposals and anything that comes to you rather than being chased. It is a yes that takes its time and means it. On the card: A knight on a white horse approaches slowly and thoughtfully, holding a cup as if making an offering. The knight wears ornate armor decorated with fish, symbols of the unconscious and emotional depths.
Why is the Knight of Cups a Yes?
The verdict comes from the picture. The white horse stands for pure emotions: noble feelings in motion. The flowing river stands for emotional flow: following the heart. The offered cup stands for romantic proposal: emotional invitation.
