From the Hezicos Tarot, the Knight of Cups; from the Way of the Horse, False Self:
We may wear now one mask and now another, and never, if we so desire, appear with our own true face. But we cannot make these choices with impunity. If we have chosen the way of falsity, we must not be surprised that truth eludes us when we finally come to need it and that confusion reigns.
– Thomas Merton
The imaginative and sensitive Knight of Cups signals movement in the emotional realm. Perhaps that resentment we've held onto for years gets chipped away. Maybe we gain the courage to introduce ourselves to someone we wanted to get to know better. Or it could be that those who have been in the depths of grief decide a walk in the sunshine would be nice. Yet the False Self card warns us not to act in order to conform to external expectations or ideals. We must let our actions stem from a sincere heart.
