Among all the minor arcana in the Tarot, the Knight of Cups is undoubtedly one of the most appreciated by cartomancy adepts. This popularity is due to his extreme sensitivity and his extraordinary ability to love.
Unlike the Knight of Swords, for example, the Knight of Cups doesn't ride a powerful warhorse, his horse is small and calm. On the upwards facing palm of his right hand rests a large golden cup, the symbol of love and of the suit to which he belongs. As if obsessed by his quest, the young blonde rider can't turn his eyes away from the object. This singular behavior suggests that the cup contains an important message that needs to be kept safe.
His left hand holds the horse's reins. The hold doesn't look strong, as if the rider likes being guided by his horse as much as he enjoys being led by his passion and his emotions. In some versions of the tarot, the animal is colored blue, a shade usually associated with the world of instinct. It represents the different emotional states that the Knight is willing to traverse in his search for love.
What havoc a being can wreak through sheer force of charm.
