On the card
A knight in a winged helmet rides a calm white horse at a gentle pace, holding a cup out in front as if bringing an offering, near a winding stream.
Upright
Something or someone is approaching with an open heart. This card brings romance, invitations and proposals, as well as the dreamy, idealistic side of love. It can describe a person who is charming and sincere. Welcome what is offered, and let your own feelings move gracefully toward what you desire.
Reversed
Sweet words may not match actions. This card can warn of charm used to manipulate, or of promises that are more fantasy than substance. Trust your intuition, look for consistency, and be honest about whether you are being swept away by a story.

- Work & purpose
- An appealing offer or creative opportunity may arrive. Follow what inspires you, but check the details before committing.
- A prompt for you
- Follow your heart with your eyes open.
