Knave of Cups

The Knave of Cups sits with you as the evening light fades, telling meandering tales of fantastical fishes and indigo seas. He moves his hands as he speaks, and the cup he clutches spills its contents onto the ground. Later, after he retires, you look inside the cup to find it still somehow full.

Your imagination is a slippery fellow traveller. Understand when to heed its voice and when to pay it no mind, or your journey will be more difficult than necessary.

Upright

• Sensitivity
• Instinctive knowledge
• Happiness in others

You wake with the world of your dreams still vivid in your mind. Explore this illusory landscape and lose yourself in writings of ancient mysteries, for in these places lies increased intuition which may lead you to new creative opportunity.

Pay attention too to your fellow travellers, and their place in these territories. Whatever position they occupy, they are becoming important within you.

Listen for happy news from your party. In others, this is a time for the advancement of connection, through new romance, new life or a commitment to partnership.

Inverted

• Illusion
• Incoherence
• Lack of understanding

While the veil between dreams and reality may be thin, it still separates the two. Do not allow them to mingle, for the confusion this creates will preclude meaningful action, and leave your motivations, or the motivations of those around you, incomprehensible.

Incoherence in your thoughts and actions is the fog that blinds your progress. It is present, but you cannot grasp it.
