✦ Upright Meaning

The Knight rides gently forward, cup extended like an offer of the heart. This card brings romance, charm, or a proposal made with genuine feeling rather than urgency.

✦ Reversed Meaning

Reversed, it can mean unrealistic romantic expectations, moodiness, or an offer that turns out to be more charm than substance.
