The main meanings of the Knight of Cups are romance, faithfulness, and Prince Charming. If you’re looking for love, you’re in luck! Be prepared to be swept off your feet!
In some Tarot card decks, the Knight of Cups is called the Prince of Cups or the Son of Cups or Chalices. However, the Tarot card meaning of the Prince/Son of Cups/Chalices and the Knight of Cups is the same.
The Knight of Cups is a romantic character who cares about you and your feelings. He brings you flowers, takes you on dates and shows how much he cares. If you’re single, then the Knight sends you the message to not worry; he’s on his way.
If you’re attached, this card can serve as reassurance that your partner only has eyes for you. If they’re a little distant recently, then The Knight of Cups can mean that they are going to start showing you more love and attention.
Sometimes, this Court card can represent you as an individual. Perhaps you are the one who is loyal and committed. You always try to see the best in other people. In a positive Tarot reading, this trait obviously serves you well, but in a negative reading, it can mean that you’re willing to overlook things for the sake of a content life.
Although the Knight of Cups is generally positive, there will be times when it signals an idealized version whatever it is you wish to achieve. You (or the Knight of Cups character) will be going about life with rose-tinted glasses on. If this is the case, then you need to be more realistic about your goals.
I often interpret the Knights as representing friends or associates. The Knight of Cups can represent a sensitive person who will introduce you to your future partner.
The Knight of Cups Love Tarot Meaning
In a love Tarot reading, the Knight of Cups represents a partner coming into your life who you can depend on. You may have kissed a lot of frogs in the past, but now you’re going to meet your Prince Charming. If you’re wondering a partner's feeling towards you, they are completely devoted. The Knight of Cups is one of my top Tarot cards that indicate love.
If you’re already in a relationship, the Knight of Cups is a positive omen as it means that your partner is committed, devoted, and faithful to you. If you’re not in a good relationship, the Knight could be your partner changing for the better, or someone else coming along getting ready to swoop you off your feet.
The Knight of Cups is the type of person who wants to spend all of their time and energy focusing on their romantic relationships. Just as the Knight of Wands can suffer from energy burn out, the Knight of Cups can be plagued with love burn out. Although romantic in the beginning, the Knight of Cups can begin to chase the thrill of a new relationship, so try to keep your partnership a balanced one. Do not get too caught up in their fantasy.

The Knight of Cups Future Tarot Meaning
When it appears in the future of a Tarot reading, this means that you are going to meet a hopeless romantic soon. That is not to say that they are going to be a lover of yours; they may be a friend. In any event, the Knight of Cups character is either going to become a prominent feature in your life or assist you in some way.
As already stated, the Knight of Cups can represent your lover. However, if your current partner is not romantic, I would not read the Knight of Cups in a future or outcome position of a love spread as a positive omen for an established relationship. In these cases, the Knight of Cups represents a new lover who you will meet in the future, not the partner which you have currently.
The Knight of Cups Business & Career Tarot Meaning
When it appears in a career Tarot reading, it is highly possible that the Knight of Cups is a loving partner who is giving you emotional support during the building of your business or career.
In a more negative career Tarot reading, the Knight of Cups can represent an idealized attitude about your circumstances. Perhaps you are convincing yourself your plans are going to work out without doing any research. Or, you may think that the area you are going into is easier or more profitable than it actually is.
The Knight of Cups often appears in business readings when you see your situation clearly. You have an idea which you think is going to give you the perfect, work-free life but this is not the case. Passive income is not as passive as you think.
The Knight of Cups Yes or No Tarot Meaning
General - The Knight of Cups is a yes for love Tarot readings but is neutral for everything else.

Is this relationship going to last? - Your relationship is going to last for the foreseeable future.
Does the future of this look promising? - The future of this matter does indeed look promising but only if you are realistic. If you are living in a fantasy, your prospects do not appear to be that great.
Am I going to reconcile with my ex? - In some cases, I would say that the Knight of Cups can symbolize an ex-lover coming back into your life. However, if this is not the case, you will soon meet someone new who you will love even more than your ex.
The Knight of Cups as a Negative, Weakness or Obstacle
When the Knight of Cups appears in a negative, weakness, or obstacle Tarot spread position, this means that your lover can be slightly over-protective and may be slightly obsessed with you. While this may not bother you now, it will when the novelty wears off.
Finally, the Knight of Cups can also appear as an obstacle if you worry that a situation or person is too good to be true. If you have these worries, they may cause you to not enjoy the situation or to think and act negatively. Do not do this; enjoy your circumstances.
The Knight of Cups as a Positive, Strength or Advantage
When the Knight of Cups appears in a positive, strength or advantage Tarot spread position, this means that you are going to get your Prince/Princess Charming, who is going to act as your Knight in Shining Armor.
If trust is an issue with you, the Knight of Cups is a welcome omen to your Tarot reading. The Knight of Cups means that your lover is not likely to cheat on you; they will remain loyal and faithful until the very end.
Finally, the Knight of Cups is a sign that everyone who is involved in this situation has loving intentions. While you may question some friend or family member’s loyalty, they will not question yours. The people who matter have your best interests at heart.
