Both the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) and the Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms-Knight of Cups are again focused on the more mundane characteristics of this Personality. The winged helm on the RWS Knight suggests the Eagle of Higher Scorpio (Scorpio has three images, scorpion, serpent, and eagle. The lowest being scorpion) and the languid river suggests water, the element of the card. The Knight is holding a cup before him/her and is riding at an easy pace. On the Rider-Waite- Smith Card, the slightest hint of his passionate- fiery nature may be seen in the red fish of his Surcoat and the sunbaked hills in the background. The river flowing through the scoured landscape and wavy water decor of his surcoat may imply that the river/or consciousness which is not always languid and may be subject to violent overflows.

Since the Knight of Cups card is shown on the Tarot birth Chart between the 21° Libra to 20° Scorpio let’s delve into the characteristics of these two zodiac signs:

21° Libra:

• People born under the Libra sign are known for their balance and harmony¹².
• They are diplomatic, always trying to find the best words to express their opinion¹.
• Libras are fair and just, striving to achieve balance and relying on fair judgments¹.
• They are intelligent, kind, and always willing to put others before themselves².
• Libras are ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, and they adore a life that looks good².
• They excel at crafting compromises and effecting mediation between others².
• Libras are also known to be compassionate and empathetic, often going out of their way to help others³.

20° Scorpio:

• Scorpios are known for their determination. If they want something, nothing will be an obstacle on their way to the goal⁴.
• They are courageous, not afraid of dangerous situations and would be the first to agree on dealing with painstaking tasks⁴.
• Scorpios are independent and passionate⁵.
• They are ruled by Mars and Pluto, which gives them a certain intensity⁶.
• Scorpios are also known for their curiosity and their ability to probe and get to the bottom of things⁶.

Remember, these are general traits and may not apply to everyone. Individual personalities can vary greatly!

There are three images applied to the Scorpio sun sign: the scorpion, the serpent, and the Eagle. Therefore, Scorpio is a complex and multifaceted sign of the zodiac, symbolized not only by the Scorpion but also by the Serpent and the Eagle. Each of these symbols represents different facets of Scorpio's characteristics and energies:

1. Scorpion: The Scorpion symbolizes the instinctual and primal nature of Scorpio. When Scorpio energy is expressed through the Scorpion archetype, it can be intense, passionate, and fiercely protective. Individuals with strong Scorpio placements may exhibit traits such as determination, resourcefulness, and a keen sense of self-preservation. However, like the Scorpion itself, they may also have a tendency towards defensiveness, jealousy, and vindictiveness if they feel threatened or betrayed.

2. Serpent: The Serpent represents transformation and regeneration, key themes associated with Scorpio. Just as the Serpent sheds its skin to reveal a new self, Scorpio energy is deeply transformative, often leading individuals through periods of profound change and personal growth. People with strong Scorpio influence may possess a deep understanding of the hidden or unconscious aspects of themselves and others. They may also have a natural affinity for uncovering truths and delving into the mysteries of life and death.

3. Eagle: The Eagle symbolizes Scorpio's ability to rise above challenges and gain a higher perspective. When Scorpio energy is expressed through the Eagle archetype, individuals may exhibit qualities such as insight, intuition, and strategic thinking. They have the ability to soar to great heights, both intellectually and spiritually, and to see beyond surface appearances to the deeper truths underlying any situation. Like the Eagle, they may possess a sharp vision and the ability to focus intensely on their goals, often with a single-minded determination.

Overall, Scorpio as the Scorpion, Serpent, and Eagle represents a dynamic interplay of instinctual drives, transformative power, and spiritual insight. Individuals with strong Scorpio placements may navigate life's challenges with resilience and depth, drawing upon their innate strengths of passion, intuition, and tenacity to uncover hidden truths, facilitate personal growth, and ultimately rise to new heights of understanding and self-awareness. Scorpio is also known as the "house of sexual congress".

The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms-Knight of Cups is the equivalent card to the Rider-Waite-Smith Knight of Cups. However, this prince personality is an unapologetic romantic and a flirt. He is refined, artistic, romantic, and introspective with a healthy dash of melodramatic. He focuses totally on the person he is with...until he isn't, which tends to be a characteristic of this one. Hence, you will be very happily charmed for a time, with a big maybe for a lifetime. He is a hopeless romantic a Galahad personality.

The romantic aspect is emphasized on this card. The knight is staring at a picture of his most beloved represented in an oil painting above a table decorated with a vase of red roses. The vase is the only cup symbol in the artists rendition of this Knight of the Holy Grail.

The red rose is the symbol of absolute love in the language of flowers

The rose is a flower appreciated for its beauty, but also for its fragrance. From the Rosaceae family, the rose comes in several colors. The red rose is known as the queen of flowers.

Venerated since antiquity by poets, the object of inspiration of many painters such as Botticelli, Bernardino Luini and Blanche Odin, it has become the very symbol of love.

It is undoubtedly by its bright color, its fluffy petals and its always radiant appearance that the red rose represents passionate and absolute love. When a person, usually a man, gives a red rose to a woman, he is showing his love for her. A true love, strong and deep.

A promise of true love, unique and moreover eternal

Before a relationship is born, a suitor can declare his love for a woman with a red rose. It is a simple and pure gesture, but it has all its meaning.

It is possible to offer several stems of red roses for several occasions such as Valentine’s Day, the wedding anniversary or the birthday of a loved one. Under 10 roses, we can offer flowers in odd numbers. A pair of tied red roses signifies that whoever offers them wishes to exteriorize this deep love into physical union. And as we all know, offering a bouquet of 12 red roses means a marriage proposal.

To show your unwavering love for a woman, you can send a bouquet of red roses every month. Women usually appreciate this kind of attention. This gesture can also mean that she will forever be the most beautiful of all.

In addition to expressing sincere love, the red rose also expresses respect, appreciation and admiration. In short, you don’t give a bouquet of red roses to anybody. Better to offer it to the chosen one of your heart as shown in the Sacred Kingdoms Knight of Cups..

Both the Rider-Waite- and the Sacred Kingdoms Tarot-Knights are the Princes on the Qabalistic Tarot Birth Wheel. The Prince/Knight of traditional tarot of cups, is 21°Libra to 20° Scorpio.

When thrown in divination, the Knight of cups implies that either the querent has or is familiar with an important person in their life, who may come and go, whose characteristics are likened to the Prince of Cups:

• The morality or moral characteristic of such a person would encase subtlety, secret violence, and craft.
• Being also an artist in all his ways, he would be intensely secret.

•  The calm and imperturbable surface he displays masks his most intense passion.
•  S/he accepts only external influences that aid him in his secret designs. 
• This Knight's conscience is not that of an ordinary person, for it is of a more impersonal nature, making him suspect and distrusted by acquaintances.

•  S/he is perfectly ruthless and inspires fear in those that distrust him.
• This one's abilities are immense, going beyond ordinary senses into realms of the subtle. He is, however, fluid, and volatile as well, and does not care to work in harness.

• The fact that this card is Libra going over into Scorpio, suggests great volatility, as this influence implies tremendous power, energy, and weight.
• Such a person must be well mated, with goodwill and sincerity, for loyalty is all important to keep their good nature. When this Is so, they are extremely romantic, sensual, and generous to a fault and are great lovers.

If the placement of the Knight of cups is such in a reading it suggests an event rather than a personality.

As far as events go,

• This is a personal process of the quiet inner aspect of the male principle where self-reflection, inner meditative peace and awareness are being experienced by the querent (The person the reading is for).
•  Here the event of Mind is turned towards deep feelings and artistic visions with the necessary passion to do them but with the secrecy that may prevent it.
• Here a person is completely involved in emotional sensation, psychic awareness, and spiritual awareness. All of which they have in abundance.

If reversed when thrown:

• Trickery.
• Artifice.
• Subtlety.
• Swindling.
• Duplicity.
• Fraud.
