Wherever there is a Knight, there is action; movement; exercise; drama. It’s better than Xena and Hercules, because it’s happening in your life. It’s your own exciting 5-star event.
But not all Knights create the same events.
If the Knight of Cups enters your Tarot reading (unless it’s tempered by a card that suggests disappointment, like the 8 of Cups; or a card that suggests caution, like the 7 of Swords), you can expect to be swept away. your feet for a sensitive and romantic boy or girl. Go for it!
The Knight of Swords has good intentions, but this guy will bring great chaos to your life. He will pounce, create trouble, and walk away, leaving you with a big mess to clean up. Without judgment, some people thrive in the theater. And an encounter with the Knight of Swords can be very exciting.
However, the Knight of Wands. Ah, here’s a savior. (And if you’re a guy reading this, the rescuer may be a part of yourself, or it may be a masculine quality in a friend.) The Knight of Wands is optimistic and honest. Girls, if you chose this card after a question about your current guy, relax. He is not cheating on you. Some Wand Knights are even a bit naive and can get discouraged if they can’t save you right away, right now.
The Knight of Coins (also known as the Knight of Coins), is a type of OMG boy or girl. And he’s a workaholic, not to the point of ignoring the rest of his life duties, but because his career and his ability to provide and help others are important to him. Unlike the other Knights, he does not gallop wildly anywhere. You think, plan, and then go at your own predetermined speed.
Don’t forget about the archetypes.
When you get a Knight in your reading, it can also indicate
1. a part of yourself with these qualities,
2. an urge to use these parts of yourself to overcome an immediate obstacle,
3. any movement (emotional, mental, or travel-related) that you may want to consider.
These Knights are often depicted as male, but remember, in modern interpretations of the Tarot, the Knights are not gender specific.
The inverted knights
If a Knight lands on your reading upside down (upside down), he is representing the same basic idea, but the result is not as certain or perhaps as fast. For example, The Knight of Coins reversed indicates the need to rethink monetary plans before making any commitments. The reversed Knight of Swords could mean that the person galloping into your life may not be as powerful or shocking as they seem. An upside-down Knight of Wands, on the other hand, offers the gift of letting go of a project (or person) that is holding you back. It reminds us to keep our long-term goals in mind and not stray from the path. And finally, if you receive a reversed Knight of Cups, it is telling you to approach your activities and relationships with more thought, more planning, and perhaps more maturity.
