Upright Knight of Cups as Reconciliation

If you are asking about how your ex feels about reconciling with you, and you draw the Knight of Cups, it means that your ex regrets letting you go. They are feeling very in love and attracted to you, and they can’t even remember why they let go of you in the first place. They are feeling very idealistic and are ready to go out of their way to prove their love for you. Being in love with you makes them happy and simply put, they love being in love with you.

Knight of Cups as reconciliation can also be a sign of unrealistic expectations. As mentioned, your ex has an ideal version of how things should be in their head, so much so that they are almost blinded to reality. In their minds, they cannot see you doing any wrong. However, we all know that no one is perfect, and these false ideas and the inability to see reality for what it is may also be their downfall. There’s nothing wrong with taking an idealistic approach to life and only seeing the good in everything, but it is also important to acknowledge reality.

When your ex thinks about reconciliation with you, they feel excited. They realize now that you are their ideal partner. They love everything you do and stand for.

This card proves that they are definitely thinking about you, and they are interested in reconciling.

If you’ve recently split up, Knight of Cups means that your ex got tired of you. They got bored of being in love with you, wish was probably why you guys broke up in the first place. Their idealism is dangerous, but it’ll only be a matter of time before your ex realizes how much of a mistake it was to break up with you. They will definitely be reaching out to you soon.

If you’ve been in separation for a while, Knight of Cups means that your ex still harbors very tender feelings for you. The excitement of being in love with you is finally back, it just took them a little longer to realize it. They recognize how beautiful your relationship was. They know that they can’t get that feeling with anyone else, only with you.

If the two of you are still considering whether or not you should break up, Knight of Cups means that you need to speak to your partner and get them out of their daydreams. The love and magic in your relationship are still there, don’t worry, however, your partner may be caught up in an illusion. Ensure that their daydreams don’t get out of hand. Every relationship has its ups and downs, and they may get extremely disappointed or distraught when those cloudy days roll in. In the end, though, stay together! Your partner is very much in love with you, just try to keep them grounded.

If you are asking about how your ex feels about reconciling with you, and you draw the Knight of Cups reversed, it means that your ex doesn’t really know how to feel about your breakup. Their feelings are all over the place. Some days they wake up feeling ready to reconcile. On other days, they feel cold and unwilling to speak to you ever again. They will make bold claims but never actually live up to them. They are a little out of touch with reality as their imagination is constantly running at hyperspeed.

Knight of Cups reversed as reconciliation is a sign of feeling overwhelmed. There’s just a lot going on in their life right now, especially because of the emotional changes. Their romantic life isn’t going too smoothly, and it’s really upsetting to them that things aren’t going the way they envisioned. And the worst part is, they can’t even talk to someone about what’s wrong, because they themselves can’t pinpoint what the problem is.

When your ex thinks about reconciliation with you, they feel conflicted. Their feelings are all over the place, and they really aren’t sure how to feel about you. Some days they love you so much and want you back, but on other days, they wake up feeling ready to move on. Their view of love is very unrealistic, and they really want it to follow the picture-perfect vision in their head, which makes things difficult. Love is definitely not perfect, but they want it to be.

If you’ve recently split up, Knight of Cups reversed means that your ex is still feeling very hot and cold. They aren’t sure about what they want yet. Reconciliation is definitely possible, but only if your ex is able to work through their personal issues and finally accept that love can’t be like it is in the movies all the time. They need to confront themselves deep down and come to terms with the fact that there will be ups and downs, and they can’t just bail on you when times get rough.

If you’ve been in separation for a while, Knight of Cups reversed means that your ex is having a hard time confronting and overcoming their issues. The best you can do is to give them space or maybe even recommend that they see a professional. However, it’s good to just keep your distance so that you don’t let their passive-aggressiveness and confusion affect you.

If the two of you are still considering whether or not you should break up, Knight of Cups reversed means that there are some gaps in your relationship that need to be addressed. If they are ignored, these gaps will continue to grow and will eventually be the cause of your future breakup. Help your partner address their beliefs about love and get their thoughts to a more healthy and realistic spot. Your person has good intentions, they’re just blinded by how love could be instead of focusing on what love really is.
