Knight of Cups

Water · Cups
The Knight of Cups card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A rider in winged helm advances at a walk on a white horse, holding out a cup, a river and cliffs behind.

Upright

  • Romance
  • Offer
  • Following feeling

The only knight moving slowly, and the cup is held out rather than kept. Traditionally an approach made in good faith.

Reversed

  • Unreliable
  • Illusion
  • Withdrawn

Read reversed, the offer does not hold: charm without follow-through, or a feeling that faded once it had to be acted on.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
