Angel Paths for August 24 - Knight of Cups (King)

The Knight of
Cups
This is the Lord of Waves and Water, often
defined as the fiery aspect of water. As such,
in many ways this card represents a
contradiction. Most often when it appears, it
will indicate an actual person who has
influence. However sometimes it can also
indicate a moodshift or a change of mode.
Since the Suit of Cups is all about love and
loving relationships, it's easy to see how the
Knight can be regarded as the lover of the
cards. When representing a moodshift, the card
can indicate the period where a man falls in
love.
When it represents a person he will be a complex
and highly emotional being - creative and
visionary, sensitive (and sometimes
over-sensitive), romantic and intense. He will
give the impression of being open and caring,
though this is often misleading; the Knight of
Cups is often subject to intense insecurity,
needing constant re-assurance and attention.
He is attracted and attractive to women, and
enjoys basking in their company. He will often
be very charming, with a silver tongue and a
powerful personal agenda. He will rarely manage
practical matters well, tending to place rather
more importance on buying two dozen red roses,
than paying the bills. At his worst, he can be
inconstant, unfaithful and selfish.
At his best, he is loving, generous with his
emotions, supportive and tender. He can be
capable of high levels of spiritual development,
strong in intuition and warmly responsive. When
he's on form he is terrific company, having a
good sense of humour and a keen interest in
other people. He's often an exciting and
stimulating life partner and lover - but only at
his best!
You see - I said he was contradictory!
Working with the Knight of Cups
Well now, the
inner lore on this card is quite fascinating..it
has to do with the ways in which energy flows in
your home, and how that contributes to your
overall well-being and comfort - it's rather
like the Western version of Feng Shui, and
relates to the management of tellurgic energy
(this is the stuff that flows through leylines)
Whilst comparisons between tellurgic beliefs and
Feng Shui often coincide, there are some
differences too - for instance there is no
developed concept of 'bad' or damaging energy in
the Western theory - just misalignment against
energy, which causes problems.
The Knight of Cups rules this energy, and is its
master. So on a day when this card comes up, it
might be useful to have a think about the ways
in which energy flows through your home. Do you
often close or block off doors? Are there areas
in the house where accidents often happen for no
good reason (you have to be logical here..you're
liable to break more plates in the kitchen or
dining room than anywhere else for instance ;-)
How about your bedroom..does it serve as a
tranquil, restful haven or does it tend to make
you uneasy or restless?
Just as a matter of interest, the way that you
place the head of your bed can have a profound
effect on what happens in your life...take a
look at this list below which indicates what you
draw in from each of the Quarters and
cross-quarters of the room.
East Settled family life
South East Good finances, profitable speculation
South Public recognition, particularly in the
arts
South West Strong partnerships - both personal
and business
West Spiritual protection, and material
advancement
North West Travel and international trade
North Success in business
North East Help with studies and training
I have a vision of hundreds of people rushing to
move their bedrooms around!! Have fun. The
interesting thing is that once you achieve your
aim, you can move your bed to secure the next
one, without losing the first one!!
Affirmation: I align myself with natural
energies, and benefit from their strength.
