Knight of Cups as a person

As a person, upright

A charming romantic who follows the heart, this person brings beauty, invitation and a sense of possibility. They tend to be artistic, idealistic and generous with feeling. Courtship comes naturally to them, along with poetic words and thoughtful gestures.

As a person, reversed

The shadow of this romantic is someone in love with being in love. They may make grand promises, then drift when the glow fades. Moodiness and unreliability can follow, and charm sometimes becomes a tool rather than a gift.
