The Knight of Cups is the card of idealism, charm, charisma, romance, and diplomacy. The card shows a knight riding on a white horse. He holds out a cup as an emotional offering, perhaps as a truce. His message comes from his heart. He moves gracefully forward, neither charging nor holding back.
We all have emotions, but the expression of them somehow has become lost along the way. Often, we feel if an emotion has a “negative” vibe, we think it may be a burden to others if we shared them. Many of us also bury our emotions based on old belief systems that have been ingrained in us. As a result, unprocessed emotions can get stuffed away.
The King of Cups is a Tarot card that represents wisdom, calm, diplomacy, caring, and tolerance. The card shows the ability to restrain one’s emotions and be fully in charge of your feelings and impulses and therefore represents a balance between the intellect and emotions.
The Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses.
