Reflection questions

  • How can I practice greater awareness of my emotional state in order to better regulate my reactions to different situations?

Knight of Cups Upright

The Knight of Cups represents someone who is outgoing, charismatic, compassionate, and intuitive. They may not take criticism well, but they're not afraid to show their emotions. They encourage you to move forward with a bit of caution: start a creative project, but set and stick to a budget. Ask that person out, but don’t come on too strong.

Knight of Cups Reversed

The Knight of Cups in reverse represents someone who is feeling discouraged, moody, or jealous. They show up when there’s a need to learn the difference between honoring your feelings and dwelling on them. Examine the facts before acting on your emotions and make sure your expectations are realistic. If you’re frustrated that you dreams aren’t coming true, ask yourself whether you’re taking steps toward realizing them or if you’re waiting for things to happen— it’s not enough to dream, you must also do!
