Knight of Cups (Reversed) | Tarot Card
If the Knight of Cups appears reversed, he indicates that difficult feelings swimming around in your heart can be released once they have been put into words.
It is an ideal time to communicate about whatever you’ve been avoiding. Instead of retreating more, the Knight dares you to be more open, and share what you are experiencing with the people you trust.
Emotions like fear, shame, anxiety and anger can begin to feel resolved the moment they are spoken. However, they must be articulated from a position of honesty and love. Once difficult feelings are articulated, they can be surrendered. Releasing emotional baggage causes the heart to immediately lighten up, making room for feelings like joy, excitement and love. Don’t fear honesty and openness. The Knight of Cups advises you to stop carrying heavy feelings around. Release any burdensome emotions or anxieties that are weighing you down by talking about them honestly and openly. This will lead to a huge breakthrough regarding your connection with others.
Do you have a hard time expressing your feelings, even to the people you are closest to?
Are you too shy, or too scared to open yourself up to connecting with others? When did you last feel passionate or romantic?
The Knight of Cups tarot card is the brave Messenger of Love, representing all forms of love, including romantic, platonic, familial, and passionate. He fearlessly communicates his deepest feelings, inspiring love to flow everywhere he goes. This knight can reintroduce a lonely person into a world of friends and can bring renewed passion to an intimacy-barren relationship. He reminds us that we are all connected, valuable, loved, and accepted, and encourages us to be emotionally courageous.
If you struggle to express your feelings or find it difficult to connect with others, the Knight of Cups is here to remind you that you are not alone. He wears the wings of Hermes, symbolizing his ability to communicate deep, unconscious feelings that can be hard to put into words. The fish on his tunic represent the healing power of clear communication about feelings, even when the subject is difficult to discuss.
Expressing love can be scary, especially if you've been hurt in the past. The Knight of Cups reminds us that retreating further from others will never heal the heart. Instead, we must be brave and open, allowing new experiences to replace past hurts. The heart is not as fragile as it may seem, and it can heal amazingly when we allow it to be open and vulnerable.
The reversed Knight of Cups indicates a need to release difficult feelings by putting them into words.
If the Knight of Cups reversed represents another person, he is often someone who means well but promises more than he can deliver. This can lead to hard feelings when his limitations are discovered. He is a dreamer with ample creativity; however, he may lack ambition and structure. In relationships, he represents someone who has a difficult time communicating. He may also keep his deepest desires hidden since he may have a hard time being open about them.
