"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 Taurus in Health and Energy
The Builder
Cups are the water suit, so the Knight of Cups sits in Cancer. Cancer sextiles Taurus, which is help that has to be taken up rather than help that arrives. What it asks for is this: say the feeling to the person it is about. Taurus is perfectly capable of that, which is exactly why not doing it needs a better excuse. Upright, this is the element at full speed with nothing slowing it down.
When reading about health through a Taurus lens, the Knight of Cups says that you feel like your body is a machine that should work the same way it always has, something you notice only when it breaks, and not worth disrupting your routine for. This has either meant ignoring a small signal until it becomes a crisis, or building practices so steady that taking care of yourself feels like coming home. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.
In practice that can look like wanting to be looked after. Whatever form it takes, it arrives fast and without brakes.
