July 13-19, 2026: Knight of Cups

Knight of Cups from the Waite-Smith tarot

In this week that brings us the sweet mystery of the Lady Luna in Her own sign of Cancer and the start of the much ballyhooed Barbault Basket, we are visited by another Knight this week. Following on the heels of last week’s Pentacles champion, the Knight of Cups brings his message of hope and love.

At last, we are liberated from the Seven of Wands (at least this week!), and ready to move forward. But hold up. It’s the Knight of Pentacles. He’s not known for his risk-taking or quick decisions, so progress might be slow. But you can believe it will be steady. Read the rest here!

This week’s card points to the gentle energy of early love, specifically the tenderness and respect that is more than physical sensuality. In addition, it may ask us to pay attention to the wonderful friendships in our lives that have an undercurrent of attraction, but they remain chaste for any number of reasons.

can’t show it.

can’t hide it.
