Message of Knight of Cups:
Knights (Prince in the Thoth deck) traditionally pictured a young man sent forth to do the bidding of the Queen or King. He represents acting, reacting, approaching any situation in a decisive manner and taking initiative. Cups also known as Water, Hearts, Chalices, Goblets, Cauldrons, Vessels, and many others represents emotions, feelings, love, and spirituality. The Knight of Cups can be calm and serene like water or tempestuous as a storm. A warrior and a pacifist, he is the only Knight not brandishing a sword in the Rider/Waite/Smith deck. The Knight of Cups is the bridge between emotions and mind, so the intentions may be good. The question is whether or not the mind is balanced enough to carry through on high ideals.
