I've recently started working with this deck again and am curious about some details in the Knight of Cups.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what it is on the lead that comes from the horses mouth that the knight is holding (I'm sure there is a technical name for it but I can't think what it is). Anyway, they look to me like a cross between corn cobs and green fish! I know Robin Wood didn't put anything on her cards by accident but unfortunately I don't have the book (yet) so I have no idea.
Not sure if anyone is interested in discussing this card more generally but if so I'll start with my thoughts...
I usually read the Knight of Cups as Pisces (just the way I've always associated the card). So I'd see this card as representing a person who is quite emotional, daydreamy, sensitive, compassionate. I can't help thinking....FROTHY....when I see this card. Like a bit of a warning not to get too tied up in the emotional side of things. I also think of romance because of the pink heart on his cup.
If this card came up in a reading to represent a situation rather than a person I'd say it could represent romance, a romantic encounter, maybe a time of emotional change (indicated by all the bubbles and froth), a time that calls for compassion or maybe a shift in emotions.
