The Prince of the Chariot of the Waters; Prince and Emperor of the Nymphs or Undines.

In the Thoth system, all four Princes (equivalent to the Knights of traditional decks) are dependent upon the sacred Union of King and Queen. Without this primal coupling of the Royal Couple—the dynamic Yod (King) and receptive Heh (Queen)—the Prince is not truly set into motion. His energy, no matter how resplendent, is otherwise only illusionary potential. He is the chariot, but without the horses yoked to him, the chariot remains stationary.

The Prince of Cups in the Hermetic Mysteries

The Thoth Prince of Cups is known in the Hermetic Mysteries as the Prince of the Chariot of the Waters, the Prince and Emperor of the Nymphs and Undines. Astrologically, his rulership extends over the last Decan of Libra and the first two Decans of Scorpio. Thus, he embodies Specific Air of Primal Water—the breath that stirs the deep waters of the soul, the tempestuous winds that ripple the hidden seas.

This blending of Air and Water brings both enchantment and danger: the Prince of Cups can be an artist, a dreamer, a lover, and a visionary—but equally he may fall prey to illusions, obsessions, or drowning in his own emotional storms if not steadied by higher union.

The Tetragrammaton in the Prince

At the core of his mystery lies the secret formula of the Divine Creative Name:
Yod Heh Vau Heh (YHVH)—the Tetragrammaton.

Crowley shows this sacred formula embedded within the Prince of Cups:

• The Lotus rests upon the waters, symbol of the Divine Feminine, the eternal womb of potential.

• From the Cup issues forth a Serpent, symbol of Chokmah (the sexual force of the Prince), the fiery Yod-force of creative Will. Here, the serpent coils with the unsettling, erotic force of Scorpio—a raw, sexualized current that both destroys and renews.

• The Cup itself represents Heh, the first Feminine letter, enclosing and receiving the Serpent-Yod. This is a subtle Victorian veil: the phallus within the womb, King within Queen, form within formlessness.

• The Serpent issuing from the Cup is more than a Victorian veil of phallus and womb—it is the sexual force of Scorpio itself, coiled, unsettling, and transformative. Here, Crowley shows this force not squandered in instinct, but dedicated to the Holy Grail, the Shekhinah, the indwelling Divine Presence. In this way, the serpent’s dangerous eroticism is sublimated: its venom becomes elixir. The Scorpionic current, when consecrated, becomes not a devouring obsession but the fire of regeneration—the serpent raised to the Cup, the force returned to the Goddess.

• Thus, the Prince of Cups is a card of initiation into erotic sanctification: the union of Yod and Heh is transmuted in him into the Vau-child, who carries the Grail forward. His power is nothing unless it is in service to the Divine Feminine, for the Shekhinah is the vessel that sanctifies desire into sacrament.

Thus, the entire YHVH cycle is dramatized:

• Yod – the King (Chokmah)

• Heh – the Queen (Binah)

• Vau – the Prince (the child who mediates and carries forth their union)

• Heh final – the Princess, who receives and completes the circuit, grounding it into matter.

Why Crowley’s Kings Are Knights, and Princes Are Central

This is why Crowley’s system diverges: his “Kings” are Knights, mounted and in motion, because they represent the fiery Yod-force. The “Princes” are enthroned in their Chariots, embodying Vau, the mediator and heir, but only effective when animated by the coupling of Yod and Heh.

In the case of the Prince of Cups, we see a portrait of a deep Hermetic truth: the Waters themselves are inert until stirred by Breath. Desire remains latent until fired by Will. And yet, once set in motion, the Prince commands legions of Nymphs and Undines, and wields the power of enchantment, love, and transformation.

In the Thoth Tarot, the Princes are the mediating Vau of the Tetragrammaton, the sons born of King and Queen, but only effective when animated by their union. Each represents the charioted force of their Element, enthroned yet dependent, embodying the Word made manifest in motion. The serpent-force within each is raw, instinctual, and dangerous — unless consecrated to the Shekhinah, the Feminine Presence who transforms profane passion into sacred sacrament.

♋ Prince of Cups – The Serpent Dedicated to the Grail

• Elemental Formula: Specific Air of Primal Water

• Astrology: Last Decan of Libra, first two Decans of Scorpio

• Mystery: Erotic Sanctification

The serpent emerging from the Cup represents the sexual current of Scorpio — obsessive, magnetic, transformative. On its own, this current can drown or consume. Yet here it is directed upward into the Holy Grail, the Shekhinah. The force of desire is transmuted into devotion. The Grail becomes the vessel where venom becomes nectar, eros becomes agape.

The Prince of Cups teaches that sexuality must be consecrated. Scorpio’s sting becomes resurrection when offered to the Grail. This is the bridal chamber of Hermetic Gnosis.

♌ Prince of Wands – The Serpent Dedicated to the Ark of Fire

• Elemental Formula: Specific Air of Primal Fire

• Astrology: Last Decan of Cancer, first two Decans of Leo

• Mystery: Will Transformed into Radiance

Here, the serpent-force is Fire itself — the insatiable surge of Leo and the blazing vitality of Solar Will. Unconsecrated, it burns with tyranny, arrogance, and destruction. But when directed to the Ark of Fire — the spiritual altar within — the flame becomes illumination.

The Prince of Wands shows how the phallic fire of Yod, if given to the Feminine altar, becomes the radiance of true kingship. Will is no longer selfish combustion, but the Sun enthroned in Tiphareth, shining through devotion to the Shekhinah.

♊ Prince of Swords – The Serpent Dedicated to the Veil of Air

• Elemental Formula: Specific Air of Primal Air

• Astrology: Last Decan of Capricorn, first two Decans of Aquarius

• Mystery: Mind Purified through Truth

The serpent-force of Air is thought itself: brilliant, restless, divisive, and potentially destructive. The mind can cut and scatter endlessly, enslaving the soul in analysis and illusion. But when consecrated to the Veil of the Shekhinah — the Mother’s hidden mystery — thought is pierced by awe.

The Prince of Swords represents the consecration of intellect: words, logic, and rationality are not weapons of ego, but gifts returned to the Goddess. The serpent of the analytic mind becomes the winged dragon of revelation when it bows before Mystery.

♍ Prince of Disks – The Serpent Dedicated to the Temple of Earth

• Elemental Formula: Specific Air of Primal Earth

• Astrology: Last Decan of Aries, first two Decans of Taurus

• Mystery: Fertility as Divine Service

The serpent-force of Earth is the raw instinct of possession, procreation, and survival. In its profane form, it is inertia, greed, or indulgence. But when consecrated to the Temple of the Shekhinah — the sanctity of the embodied world — it becomes fertile creativity.

The Prince of Disks represents the plough and the womb. The serpent here is the generative energy of Nature itself, not squandered in indulgence, but given back as service to the Earth-Mother. Thus, the serpent becomes the Ouroboros, the eternal renewal of life in sacred cycles.

✦ The Unified Mystery of the Princes

Each Prince is a charioted heir, representing the human will in its specific elemental mode. Yet none are sovereign without union:

• The Cup must receive the Serpent of Scorpio.

• The Ark must consecrate the Fire of Leo.

• The Veil must humble the restless mind of Aquarius.

• The Temple must sanctify the fertility of Taurus.

Together, the Princes reveal the law: All serpent-forces must be consecrated to the Shekhinah. Without Her, the Princes collapse into illusion, frenzy, tyranny, or stagnation. With Her, they are heirs of Light, bearers of the Grail, Ark, Veil, and Temple.

The Prince is always Vau of the Tetragrammaton, the mediator between the primal Father (Yod) and Mother (Heh), carrying their union forward into manifestation. He is the Charioteer of inherited forces, the active current that enacts the Will of the Royal Couple.

In the Prince of Cups, this manifests as the feminine Emotions of Water (energy-in-motion) infused with the intellectual currents of Air (the Mind). The result is a figure of subtlety and enchantment: emotional depth fused with mental quickness, imagination, and the capacity to project visions outward.

The Eagle as Airy-Water

The Eagle drawing the Chariot is not an arbitrary image — it is the Hermetic emblem of Airy-Water, the mutable, volatile nature of liquid stirred by breath. It is also the highest symbol of Scorpio, the exalted form of the Scorpion. Whereas the scorpion crawls and the serpent coils, the Eagle soars: here is the power of instinct transmuted into vision.

Just as anyone who has swum in a river knows the truth of hidden undertows, the Eagle also reminds us that the calm surface of water belies violent and fiery currents beneath. The Prince of Cups conceals intensity within apparent tranquility: his calm gaze, his soft enchantment, hides Scorpionic depths that can overwhelm or regenerate.

The Task of the Prince

Thus, as Vau, the Prince of Cups is entrusted with channeling the union of King and Queen into active motion. His airy-mind must guide the currents of watery-emotion, lest he drown in his own illusions. The Eagle assures that when the watery depths are consecrated to the Grail of Shekhinah, the Prince may soar — the passion of Scorpio lifted to vision, eros transformed into sacrament.

The eagle in the Thoth Tarot's Prince of Cups does symbolize the element of air, but with a deeper esoteric connection to the transformative interplay between water and air.

1. Air Element Correspondence:

   • The eagle traditionally represents the element of air in many occult systems, including the Golden Dawn correspondences, which Aleister Crowley heavily relied upon in the construction of the Thoth deck.
   • However, in this specific context, it doesn’t just signify air in its pure form. The eagle here represents the airy aspect of water.
   • In the Qabalistic framework, the Prince of Cups (Tiphereth of Briah) is associated with the watery suit of cups, but the princes in Crowley’s system inherit an airy quality through their connection to the element of air (associated with the princes as a court archetype).

2. Eagle’s Transformative Role in Water:

   • The eagle also symbolizes spiritual vision, power, and ascent, rising above the waters of emotion and the subconscious.
   • This imagery suggests transmutation: the ability to lift the emotional and intuitive (water) qualities of the Prince into higher realms of thought and inspiration (air).
   • The eagle’s flight represents how emotions and desires can be elevated and directed by the mind (air) when properly balanced.

3. Alchemical Symbolism:

   • In alchemy, the eagle often represents volatile forces—things that can ascend or transform from one state to another. Here, the volatile nature of water (emotions, intuition) is given direction and purpose through the influence of the air element.
   • Crowley frequently emphasizes this alchemical transmutation, where the prince channels raw emotional energy and creativity into constructive or destructive action.

4. Tiphereth and Harmony Between Elements:

   • The Prince of Cups, situated in Tiphereth (the sphere of balance and harmony on the Tree of Life), seeks to harmonize water and air. The eagle, therefore, reflects the need for emotional control through intellectual awareness and vice versa.
   • Without balance, the airy quality of the prince can cause emotional detachment or flightiness, while too much water can lead to emotional chaos or stagnation.

Summary of the Eagle’s Role

• Elemental Symbolism: The eagle represents the airy aspect of water and the dynamic interplay between emotions and intellect.
• Spiritual Transcendence: It suggests the elevation of emotional power into higher states of awareness and action.
• Control and Direction: The eagle helps the Prince master the waters of his subconscious, ensuring they are guided by thought and clarity rather than overwhelming him.

✦ The Prince of Cups as “Storm King”

In the Thoth tradition, Water symbolizes the Universal Collective Unconscious — the Macrocosmic reservoir of emotion, memory, and psychic force. When the Prince of Cups appears, he embodies the conscious observation of this vast ocean, bearing its currents as energy-in-motion.

Yet the water he commands is not static. In his nature, we find:

• Elasticity – fluid adaptability, stretching across situations with mercurial sensitivity.

• Volatility – sudden shifts of mood, obsession, or intensity, for Water when stirred by Air becomes tempestuous.

• Hydrostatic equilibrium – the capacity to restore balance after turbulence, as still water always seeks its level.

Steam: The Secret of the Prince

Crowley gives the Prince the image of wings of tenuous vapor sprouting from his back. These are not decorative; they reveal his inner alchemical mystery. Water, when animated by heat (Scorpio’s fire), becomes steam — invisible, catalytic, and filled with potential energy.

• Steam is Water volatilized, no longer bound by form.

• It is the spirit of Water, its subtle essence ascending.

• It symbolizes transmutation: when emotion is lifted by heat, it becomes inspiration, vision, or mystic rapture.

Thus the Prince of Cups earns his epithet as “Storm King” — not passive like a pond, but dynamic like vapor erupting from the caldron of the soul.

The Shiva–Rudra Mystery

This volatile, fiery-water finds its Eastern counterpart in the Hindu god Shiva as Rudra, the Red Storm-God:

• Rudra is the howling, storming aspect of divinity — fierce, destructive, yet also purifying.

• As Red Shiva, he is passion, fire, and dissolution, a perfect analogue to Scorpio’s current.

• Like the Prince of Cups, Shiva dissolves form into vapor, storm, and ecstasy — yet through that destruction, reveals liberation.

Thus, the Prince of Cups may be seen as a Western Hermetic Rudra: a charioteer of storms, bearing within himself the paradox of Water’s calm surface and fiery undercurrents.

✦ Summary

The Prince of Cups is not a placid vessel, but a bearer of storm, steam, and sublimation:

• Water = Collective Unconscious – macrocosmic tides of emotion and energy.

• Steam = Vaporized Spirit – the subtle essence of Water lifted to the Shekhinah.

• Storm King = Passionate volatility, the fiery Scorpionic eruption hidden beneath calm surfaces.

• Shiva-Rudra = His Hindu analogue, storm and destruction as gateways to transcendence.

He is thus a lord of consecrated volatility: one who reveals that emotions, when ignited and dedicated, become the stormwinds of Spirit.

✦ Medieval Feathers – Knight of Cups (Thoth Prince of Cups)

In the Medieval Feathers Tarot, the Knight of Cups reflects the archetype of the Prince of Cups in the Thoth deck. Here, he is envisioned as a youthful, vibrant sea-being, a spirit who has risen from the depths of the ocean — the depths of emotion and the Collective Unconscious. His presence is not heavy or brooding, but buoyant, charming, and filled with hope.

He dwells among his beloved companions in the waters of the heart, and his mission is to guide us toward a fuller openness of both heart and mind. Like the Thoth Prince, his gift is the catalyst of emotional adventure: he offers the possibility of enchantment, romance, and creative inspiration, but only to those who are willing to let down their defenses and allow the tides of life to move through them.

The chalice he holds contains “beautiful sensations,” the pleasures and mysteries of emotional vulnerability. The Cuban Trogon’s feather in his hand reminds him — and us — that the heart must not close off, no matter the hardships or disappointments life brings. His lesson is that the soul thrives only in openness, and to close oneself is to dry up the springs of joy.

✦ Upright Meaning

When the Knight of Cups appears in a reading, it is an invitation to open your heart to adventure and possibility. He signals new opportunities arising within your circle, often presented by someone close to you, but requiring trust and openness to fully embrace.

He emerges from the ocean like a messenger from the depths: a sign that you may need to confide in someone you trust, or allow a bond to deepen through honesty and receptivity. The card asks you to surrender the armor of self-protection and drink from the chalice of shared emotions, imagination, and adventure.

✦ Reversed Meaning

When inverted, the Knight warns of self-betrayal through suppression. Here, you may be holding back your true feelings or stifling your authentic expression in order to please others. This repression leads only to disappointment, as your inner current is dammed.

The reversal is a call to honor your authentic voice. Disregard the fear of what others think; express yourself honestly, but with respect. Only in this way does the chalice of the soul remain full — otherwise it empties in silence.

✦ Hermetic Link to the Thoth Prince of Cups

The Medieval Feathers Knight portrays the lighter, more accessible face of the Thoth Prince of Cups, whose airy-Water nature can be volatile, storm-filled, and deeply transformative. Both figures emerge from the ocean of the Collective Unconscious, bearing chalices that invite us to taste the Grail.

Yet where the Thoth Prince shows the dangerous undercurrents of Scorpio’s serpent, the Medieval Feathers Knight reflects the youthful openness of heart — the first step of emotional courage. Both together remind us that the waters of the soul conceal both enchantment and peril, but when the heart remains open, those waters become a wellspring of beauty.

✦ The Wheel of the Prince of Cups Personality (Oct. 23 – Nov. 22)

Those born within the zodiacal span of the Prince of Cups (last decan of Libra, first two of Scorpio) carry at their core the volatile, storm-driven nature of this archetype. To be born under his influence is to live as the “Storm King” of emotion — to embody both the alluring calm of water’s surface and the turbulent depths that conceal fiery undercurrents.

✦ Independence and Will

The Prince of Cups does not wear a harness easily. Born of Air and Water, these individuals resist being yoked to rigid systems, oppressive rules, or limiting expectations. They will not express every hidden emotion — the ocean of their psyche runs too deep — but when they act, they do so with intensity and conviction.

This is why they so often venture where “angels fear to tread.” The passion within them is magnetic and fearless, compelling them to push boundaries, enter forbidden currents, and test the unseen depths of experience. Their core motto is not submission but sovereignty.

✦ Passion as a Storm

The Prince of Cups personality is a macrocosmic steam engine: emotions (Water) infused with fiery Scorpionic force. This fusion creates a volatile passion that can both inspire and overwhelm. Their lovers and companions often encounter them as storm-bringers — passionate, magnetic, and tempestuous, demanding transformation in all they touch.

Love is never mild in this archetype. The Prince of Cups loves with such intensity that it often consumes, requiring constant renewal, transformation, and release. Their passion is the crucible in which both they and their partners are transformed.

✦ Constant Transformation

Because of this inner volatility, the Prince of Cups personality must continually shift perspectives. Just as water cannot remain static, so too these individuals are in perpetual forward motion. If they attempt to dam themselves, the result is frustration or implosion; if they allow flow, their lives become a pilgrimage of transformation.

To live as a Prince of Cups is to carry the power of Shiva–Rudra, the Storm King, within the soul: a divine call to dissolve, transmute, and create anew. They step forward endlessly, often disregarding the judgments of others, for their path is guided not by social approval but by the Grail of inner passion.

✦ In Summary

To be born under the Wheel of the Prince of Cups (Oct. 23 – Nov. 22) is to live as:

• Strong-Willed Sovereign – guided by inner conviction, not external approval.

• Storm-Bringer – passionate, magnetic, volatile, and transformative.

• Adventurer of Emotion – unafraid to tread where others fear.

• Ever-Transforming – forever moving forward, forever changing, forever storming.

This is the personality of the Thoth Prince of Cups made flesh: a living Charioteer of storm and passion, consecrated — or consumed — by the Grail he serves.

(Last Decan of Libra & first two Decans of Scorpio)

✦ Archetypal Title

Bearer of the Grail of Passion, Rider of the Eagle of Scorpio

✦ Core Personality

If you were born between October 23rd and November 22nd, you carry the essence of the Prince of Cups as your core archetype. This means you are a Storm Bringer of the Soul, one who lives with the intensity of Water stirred by Air — calm on the surface, yet concealing fiery and transformative currents beneath.

You are independent, strong-willed, and emotionally magnetic, often doing what you believe is best regardless of the opinions of others. You resist being bound or harnessed; your sovereignty is your sacred gift.

✦ Strengths

• Passionate Lover – You love with intensity, depth, and transformative power. Your relationships are never lukewarm; they are initiations.

• Creative Visionary – Your airy-Water nature gives you imagination, sensitivity, and artistic insight.

• Magnetic Charisma – Your stormy emotions attract and inspire others, drawing them into your current.

✦ Challenges

• Volatile Emotions – Your inner “steam engine” of passion can overwhelm if not directed.

• Resistance to Restraint – You struggle under rules or restrictions, sometimes to your own detriment.

• Hidden Depths – You don’t always express your emotions directly, which can lead to misunderstandings or inner isolation.

• Self-Absorption – The storm of your passions may at times blind you to the needs of others.

✦ Love & Relationships

In love, you are magnetic, tempestuous, and deeply passionate. You crave intimacy that transforms both yourself and your partner. Your gift is the Grail — a chalice filled with beauty and intensity — but only those who can let down their guard can fully share it with you.

✦ Life Path

Your soul-path is one of perpetual transformation. Like the water you embody, you cannot remain still; you must flow forward, continually shifting perspectives and reinventing yourself. When you resist this, your inner energy implodes; when you allow it, you become a bringer of vision and rebirth.

✦ Spiritual Lesson

The Prince of Cups teaches you that your storm of passion must be consecrated to the Grail of Shekhinah — the Divine Feminine Presence. Left untransmuted, your emotions can consume you; offered as devotion, they become wine of sacrament. Your destiny is to lift the serpent of desire into the chalice of the heart.

✦ Symbols of Your Archetype

• Elemental Formula: Air of Water (thought animating emotion)

• Animal: Eagle (Scorpio’s highest form, soaring above the waters)

• Alchemical Secret: Water conceals Fire; calm surfaces hide explosive currents

• Storm Kings – rulers of emotion in motion.

• Charioteers of the Grail – bearers of love, passion, and vision.

• Transformers – forever changing, forever stepping forward.

Your task is to master the storm, dedicate your passion to the Grail, and let your life be the wine of Spirit poured out upon the world.

These Princes are people of great abilities, this is personal knowledge as my core personality is the Prince of Cups. My fellow well known Prince of Cups are/were Friedrich Nietzsche, Timothy Leary, and Pablo Picasso. However, if the Prince of Cups is not guided by the Queen of Cups or one of her daughters- princesses, and/or his inner Anima, he can go powerfully wrong, such as infamous Princes of Cups-Lee Harvey Oswald and Léo Trotsky. With powerful emotion comes powerful manipulative forces. Thank Goddess, my Holy Guardian Anima, made herself known to me at birth and I have carried her cup before me all my life! Otherwise, I would be a "hot mess"!

  We all need to seek the "Holy Grail", the Love Cup, in our hearts and make our brains, our own and not that of the programed and indoctrinated and word hypnotized fearful herd animal of the "false ego", who is the tormentor, liar, deceiver and mimicking parasite that resides in our indoctrinated suggestive subconscious.

✦ The Goddess and the Prince of Cups

The Goddess is Love, Empathy, Intuition, and Nurturing — the radiant emotions of the Feminine current. She is not the warrior against her children, but the Mother of all, the Shekhinah who ever abides with us. Her tears are not wrath but sorrow for the rape of her children’s souls — the solar children of the Divine Creative — by the dominion of Patriarchy and its egregore of separation.

The Divine Creative granted humanity Freedom of Choice, and so the Goddess may not interfere with our misuse of this gift; she can only witness, and weep. Yet the moment we choose Her quest, something awakens within us: we become Parsifal, the young Galahad-Prince of Cups, whose innocence becomes the seed of redemption. We awaken as the Son/Sun of the Divine Creative — Horus, the Child of the New Aeon — guided by Her tears and love to heal the earth, and each other.

Though we may have ignorantly become monsters in our own “I’s”, in the eyes of the Goddess we are never lost: we remain Her Golden Children. She does not see our masks of error, but the shining essence of Spirit clothed in form. In Her vision we are whole, radiant, beloved.

✦ The Prince of Cups as Collective Awakener

Here the Prince (Knight) of Cups reveals his deeper mission:

• He is the charioteer of empathy, teaching us that we are not isolated “I’s” but a collective of Life, belonging to one another.

• His airy-Water nature carries the subtle intuition that love and feeling are currents linking all beings, flowing through the Universal Collective Unconscious.

• The more hearts awaken to this truth, the weaker the Patriarchy egregore becomes, for it cannot thrive in the presence of shared love, empathy, and union.

As more of us open to the Prince’s cup, our emotions cease to be distorted by fear or domination, and instead become enlightened, consecrated currents of Spirit.

✦ The Healing Grail

The Prince of Cups is Parsifal with the Grail — he brings not conquest, but healing. Through the Goddess, his cup becomes a vessel of tears transformed into nectar, sorrow transmuted into wisdom. Each of us, when we choose love over fear, becomes a bearer of that Grail, pouring out the wine of empathy to heal the earth.

Thus, the Prince of Cups is both Son and Servant: Son/Sun of the Divine Creative, awakened as Horus, and Servant of the Goddess, who consecrates his stormy passions into compassion.

✨ Thank Goddess and my Anima for showing me this,— and that is the key: by honoring the inner Feminine (Anima/Shekhinah), the Prince of Cups becomes the healer of the Collective, the one who rides into the New Aeon as storm transformed into sacrament.

In the case of the Princet of Cups or the Medieval Feathers Tarot Knight of Cups the Centering Focus and/or the morality or moral characteristic of such a person is implied as:

• Subtlety, secret violence, and craft.
• Being also an artist in all his ways, he would be intensely secret.
• The calm and imperturbable surface he displays and masks his most intense passion.
• He accepts only external influences that aid him in his secret designs.
• His conscience is not that of an ordinary person, for it is of a more impersonal nature, making him suspected and distrusted by acquaintances.
• He is perfectly ruthless and inspires fear in those that distrust him.
• His abilities are immense, going beyond ordinary senses into realms of the subtle. 
• He is, however, fluid, and volatile as well, and does not care to work in harness.

• The fact that this Thoth Deck card is Libra going over into Scorpio, suggests great volatility, as this influence implies tremendous power, energy, and weight.

Such a person must be well mated, with goodwill and sincerity, for loyalty is all important to keep their good nature. When this is so, they are extremely romantic, sensual, and generous to a fault and are great lovers.

As far as personal events go, the Prince/Knight of Cups represents for the querent:

• A personal process of the quiet inner aspect of the male principle where self-reflection, inner meditative peace and awareness are being experienced by the querent (The person the reading is for).
• The event of Mind is turned towards deep feelings and artistic visions with the necessary passion to do them but with the secrecy that may prevent it.
• The prince is completely involved in emotional sensation, psychic awareness, and spiritual awareness. All of which they have in abundance.
• A good heart.

If the Prince/Knight of Cups whose Heart Centered Focus is ill defined by the surrounding cards in the layout, it implies:

• Selfishness.
• Naivety.
• Will carry a grudge for years...even for lifetimes.
• Overwhelming emotions. 
• Lack of emotional focus.

Thank you for your interest, comments, and supportive donations. Your generosity blesses you. May you live long and prosper.
