Knight of Cups as the card of the day

On a quiet horse, someone who follows the call of the heart draws near, and today that romantic lives in you. Let yourself have the beautiful impulse, the invitation, the movement toward feeling. Just keep checking in with the ground, so the dream leads you and doesn't carry you off.

The question this card asks

Where is your heart calling you right now, and are your feet firmly under you?
