“My heart is a stern mistress.” Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

 Chivalry and romance are not dead but they can certainly be hard to come by…and is that really what you want? A courtly illusion of love? A sham of intimacy?

Probably not.

Flowers, chocolates, jewelry, and all the trappings representing romance are lovely to be sure but they are not the same as the affection, emotion and intimacy they are meant to represent – they are often just pretty distractions. Is that what you really want?

Probably not.

When Knight of Cups arrives on the scene, know you are looking at a charismatic delight promising to be a great deal of head-turning fun but unlikely to develop into anything real or lasting. It is not the Knight’s fault – this is her (or his) nature.

Enjoy this time for what it is – a romantic interlude – but do not get lost in late night promises that just don’t mean a thing.
