Okay, so I wanted to get a clear “yes” or no” answer about something today. I’ve been feeling a bit wishy-washy, you know? Like, stuck in a dream and not really taking action. That’s when I decided to pull out my tarot deck and focus on the Knight of Cups reversed.
First, I shuffled the deck really well. I like to make sure the cards are good and mixed up. Then, I laid out the deck face down on my table.
I took a few deep breaths, and I asked my question silently to the cards. I kept it simple: “Should I go for this opportunity?”. Really focusing on the question, and holding it my mind.

Next, I picked a single card, flipped it over, and boom – Knight of Cups, reversed. I was thinking the reversed position usually suggests blockages, delays, and all that kinda stuff I did not like.
My Interpretation Process:
- Checked the basic meaning. I know the Knight of Cups is normally about romance, charm, and following your heart. But reversed… that’s different.
- Considered the “yes or no” aspect.Reversed cards are often seen as a “no,” or at least a “not yet.” A pause, maybe needed.
- Looked at the imagery.Even upside down, I noticed the Knight is STILL holding the cup, it didn’t fell, right? He is not throwing the offer away, but it also looks he is retreating.
- Intuition check! I sat with the card for a moment. How did it feel? Honestly, I felt a sense of… relief. Like a weight off my shoulders. Not the disappointment I expected.
Putting It All Together
Taking all that into account, this wasn’t a hard “no” from the universe. It felt more like a “slow down, buddy”. The reversed Knight of Cups was telling me my approach might be too emotional, too focused on the fantasy of it all.
The emotions are clouding the situation. I have to face it up.
So, instead of a definitive “yes” or “no,” I got a “check yourself.” This card, for me, was a reminder to get my head out of the clouds and get practical. Maybe do some more research, make a pros and cons list, you know? Adult stuff.
It was a reminder, that my energy isn’t best used by pushing forward blindly right now. I need to rethink the path forward.
