What's on the card

A knight in a winged helmet rides slowly on a white horse, holding a cup out in front of him. A river flows ahead, with hills beyond it.

Knight of Cups upright

The Knight of Cups arrives with an offer: an invitation, a confession, a creative idea. He acts from the heart and carries his feelings openly. This is the card of beautiful gestures and sincerity. If you want to suggest a joint project to a colleague, do it today and describe what excites you about it; add the numbers later.

Knight of Cups reversed

The words sound lovely, but the deeds lag behind, whether the promises are yours or someone else's. Moods change faster than decisions. Pick one promise you've made and keep it by the end of the week.

Knight of Cups in love and relationships

For a couple this means romance, dates and attention. If you're single, a confession or invitation may come from someone who acts from the heart. Answer sincerely and watch whether the words are backed by actions.

Knight of Cups in career and money

An interesting offer or creative task you genuinely care about comes your way. A good time for design, writing and work with people. Before you agree, get the deadlines and terms in writing so inspiration and reality stay in step.

Knight of Cups: yes or no

Yes A sincere offer or a romantic gesture is here. Answer from the heart and suggest a specific date.

Reversed. Maybe This may be a mood rather than a decision. Wait a week and see whether actions back up the words.

Knight of Cups as your card of the day

Romance and kind gestures fit the day. Invite someone for a walk, give a gift for no reason or share a creative idea.

Reversed. Nice words and actual deeds don't match, yours or someone else's. It's easy to check. Keep one promise you've made today and see whether others keep theirs.

A question for the evening: Which promise was kept today?
