Full Meaning
The Knight of Cups as a person is symbolic of someone who is very much a Romeo teen type who spends hours in his room. He could be described as both romantic and emotional. Indeed this person is just the sort of person who would be very upset if their pet rabbit died and he also has a tendency to be a little on the moody side. However he is fiercely loyal to those he loves and is generally very enthusiastic. In terms of what this card could symbolize, then it is often associated with travel to water whether it is a lake, stream or sea. A boat trip of some kind may also be involved. Romance could also be in the air and you may find yourself faced with an invitation on which to ponder. In terms of a relationship, this card is indicative of a caring and sensitive man who desires a relationship that is not shallow and has some depth to it. This is a card of strong emotions, optimism and excitement.
Traditional Symbolism
Graceful, but not warlike; riding quietly, wearing a winged helmet, referring to those higher graces of the imagination which sometimes characterize this card. He too is a dreamer, but the images of the side of sense haunt him in his vision.
