Knight of Cupsfor Gemini
"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 Gemini
The Communicator
Gemini is an Air mutable sign ruled by Mercury, whose natural subject is talk, siblings, short trips, the daily traffic of information. Cups are the water suit, so the Knight of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sits directly beside Gemini, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Gemini is mutable: it adapts, and this card is about completion, which asks the one thing mutable signs resist, which is settling on a final form. 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.
