![]() He can abuse his Rank of Knight to conquer and conquest where and whenever he so pleases. Instead of being humble and gracious, his ego can become overinflated as he struts around like a Peacock, full of pride and self-importance. He may seek out friends on the basis of who will best progress his plans or goals. He may use others to get what he wants rather than be considerate of others feelings. Therefore, The Knight of Cups who is traditionally a loving, gentle, caring, sympathetic soul can become self-serving and develop a Cavalier approach to how he goes about his life when Fire takes over his natural Watery Self. It cares little for whom or what it hurts along the way as long as Fire gets what it wants and its voracious appetite is constantly appeased. With little or no Water tempering its actions and behaviour, it can become insensitive and self-serving, trampling on the feelings of others. With no Water to slow its speed or temper its behaviour it can run amok and leave a trail of disaster in its wake. When this occurs, Fire acts as it will without the conscience of the Water Element to keep it in check. The intense heat of the Fire simply evaporates the Water and it disappears in the wind as steam or vapour, leaving Fire totally in charge. On the other hand, if Fire becomes extremely strong, it can get totally out of control and Water may become overwhelmed by the task at hand. It cannot do this if Water has drenched it to ashes. Its movement is also strongly curtailed as Fire needs heat and intensity to travel fast. Its sense of adventure, excitement and mischief is watered down to a damp squid. In this state Fire loses its mojo and becomes unenthusiastic, nervy, with wavering motivation and a wishy-washy attitude to everything. Water becomes the dominant Element while Fire is extinguished or rendered useless with not even enough energy to muster up a spark. This should give us a natural balance, the yin and yang of a situation but what do we reach for when we want to douse a Fire or stop it from spreading? We naturally run straight for the nearest Water source and drench the Fire with enough of it until all that remains of the Fire is a smouldering, lifeless mess on the ground. Water is a Feminine Energy, while Fire is Masculine. This leaves us with a situation whereby the Elements can act totally out of character when either becomes overly influenced by the other. Water normally finds Fire to be overwhelming, too fast, too demanding and overly assertive, while Fire finds Water to be too sensitive, overly emotional, hesitant, passive and non-assertive. Water and Fire are quite wary of each other, in fact may avoid each other if they can, as each can seriously disrupt the individual Elemental balance or wipe it out altogether. In The Knight of Cups we have Fire influencing Water, actions influencing feelings, acting on feelings or creative activity/advancement. Therefore The Knight of Cups represents the Fiery part of Water. Thus we have a combination of the Elemental Energies of Water and Fire within him.Īs already mentioned above, Knights represent the Fiery Part of the Court Cards regardless of their Suit Element. The Knight of Cups is of The Water Element, but just like his fellow Knights, is also influenced by Fire. You must ask yourself: Who is he? Who does he remind me of? Is he having a positive or negative influence in my life? How can I embrace or avoid his energy? What is he trying to tell me? Is this how I am behaving? Is this how others perceive me? Do I like him or not? Do I want to be more like him? How can I be more like him, If he is not a person then what is his energy trying to tell me? How would this Knight handle my situation? Which part of this Knight am I trying to deny?
