Knight of Cupsfor Aquarius
"Romance isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
The knights are often bringing you what your heart has desired. The knight of cups has ventured far to bring you love, but is that really something another can find on your behalf?
A whirlwind romance, getting carried away in a moment. Possibly a grand declaration (a proposal perhaps?). Outside of romance, perhaps a boss is championing your work or a teacher is advocating for you.
You thought a perfect romantic figure (a knight in shining armour) was going to fix all your issues, but now that the fervor has calmed you look around and see your problems are still unresolved. Your emotions are even more riled up.

Knight of Cups for Aquarius
The Visionary
Aquarius is an Air fixed sign ruled by Saturn, whose natural subject is friendship, community, the collective, the long future. Cups are the water suit, so the Knight of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer and Aquarius are quincunx, two signs with nothing in common: no shared element, mode, or polarity. This card will not slot neatly into how Aquarius already operates. What it wants is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. It has to be done deliberately or it will not happen. Aquarius is fixed: it holds on, and this card is about an ending, which is the specific move fixed signs will delay the longest. The card and the sign pull in different directions, and the friction is the information. Upright, this is the element at full speed with nothing slowing it down.
