Card combination

Knight of Wands and Knight of Cups

Charge and courtship. The Knight of Wands moves fast and does not look back; the Knight of Cups arrives with an offer and means it at the time. The tradition reads the pair as pursuit conducted with real feeling and no patience, which is a recognisable and unstable combination.

In love

The most pursued-feeling pairing in the deck. Associated with intensity that is genuine and that has not yet been asked to last.

In career

Chasing something with conviction. Frequently read for people who persuade well and lose interest once the persuading is done.

The advice

Neither Knight is good at the part after the arrival. If the reading is about whether it holds, these two cards are not the ones that answer that.
