Prince of Cups
The prince of cups can be a young man or woman with strong sexual
and emotional charisma.
An abundance of imagination combined with the tendency to
plot can give rise to bizarre and sometimes amusing
schemes--but don't laugh at the prince. A slight to his pride
will not be let go lightly,...
Enemies will despise the prince's arrogance and sarcasm; ...
friends will find his love almost frighteningly
intense.--Jean
Huets
Graceful, but not warlike ; riding quietly, wearing a winged helmet,
referring to those higher graces of the imagination which sometimes
characterize this card. He too is a dreamer, but the images of
the side of sense haunt him in his
vision.--A.E.
Waite
He is graceful, dilettante, with the qualities of Venus, or a
weak Jupiter. He is amiable in a passive way. He is quick to respond
to attraction, and easily becomes enthusiastic under such
stimulus; but he is not very enduring. He is exceedingly sensitive to
external influence, but with no material depth in his character.
When the card is ill dignified, he is sensual, idle and
untruthful. . . . Often his mental "civil war" [between Fire and
Water] ends in schizophrenia or melancholy madness. The
abuse of stimulants and narcotics may precipitate the
catastrophe.--Aleister
Crowley
On the positive side, the Knight of Cups is a sensitive soul.
He is a poet by temperament - a lover of all things romantic
and refined. He uses his imagination in wondrous ways and taps the
deepest levels of emotion. He knows how to create beauty and
share it with others. On the negative side, the Knight of Cups is
prone to flights of fancy and illusion. His melodramatic
moods are legendary as his emotions often get the better of
him. He's too temperamental and takes offense easily. He can't stand
unpleasantness and will always leave others to deal with
it.--Joan
Bunning
The romantic dreamer . . . idealism . . . The idealized lover.
Alternatively, can depict a deceptive or thieving person. . .
. selfish
lover.--Tracy
