Because of the opposing forces of fire and water, the character of the Knight of Chalices may be rather unstable as he tries to balance out the different aspects of his personality. This combination gives him a kind of charm. He may be talented in artistic endeavors with the help of water. Fire gives him swiftness, and a jolt of energy and inspiration. His moods are fickle, he can be easily excited, but also easily bored. His contradictions mean that his attempts at taking action are hasty, and can mean mistakes that lead him to trouble. We see this reflected in his astrological correspondences as well: Aquarius speaks to his humanitarian nature, as well as his tendency to be rather flighty when it comes to the realm of emotions. Pisces speaks to his spirituality and depth.
