The Lovers - Tarot Card
The Lovers Tarot Card is not just about love and sexuality; the reading has several meanings which all relate to the duality expressed in the image on the card. The 'Tarot Card' image of the 2 lovers holding hands or intertwined is a strong symbol of the harmonious union of two beings. But it also stands for the necessity of proper choice, and some interesting concepts about the relationship of our conscious minds to whatever force brings these lovers together. It should be apparent that, in our culture which has many definitions for the simple emotion of love, the image of love as expressed in the Tarot can have so many meanings also. The Lovers is predominantly a card of the emotions, and it often portrays love that is divinely blessed, either by Cupid, an angel, or by God Himself. This seems to imply that nothing but good can come of this union, though with such a dualistic card there is always the potential for an alternative, possibly sad conclusion, despite the best of intentions. After all, love is like a flame as it can ignite the fire of passion, but also because it can consume and destroy if used without care. Love is a wonderful thing, but profane or unrelenting love has the power to tear families and relationships apart. The Lovers tarot has within it the potential for such love and we must always be wary of it. Air is the element which rules the taort Lovers, and we should therefore expect the majority of its meanings to be associated with the spirit and the mind. The notion of choice between positive and negative is first depicted on this card with the old symbol of a man choosing between two lovers. Such a moral dilema is often shown by the Lovers card, which now tells us to consider all consequences before acting. The situation could be as simple as a fork in the road with two paths to choose from, or a much more complicated decision by which all of our strongest beliefs and ideals will be tested. In times of such difficult choice we clearly need high guidance. A 121 psychic reading could be an option at this stage The final meaning of the Lovers is perhaps best illustrated by the image of the card in the Rider-Waite deck, and some of its variants. This image shows the man looking at the woman, who in turn looks at the divine figure above them both. The man cannot see the angel, and he must trust the woman to see it for him. Likewise, the conscious mind (the man) cannot directly access Higher Powers (the angel), whatever you believe they are. The unconscious (the woman) must be the bridge between the physical and spiritual planes. This symbology also shows the true power of love; as discussed on the Ten of Cups, through love we can get a glimpse of Heaven. Frequently, the Lovers tarot card will refer to a relationship when it appears in a reading, and when it does, that relationship will be a perfect expression of the love between two people. This will almost always be a sexual relationship, though not always. You must always keep in mind that there is the potential for conflict despite happy beginnings. Love is a flame that must not be left unmanages; it must be fueled and allowed to burn for as long and as brightly as possible. If not a physical pairing of man and woman, the Lovers can also show the integration of two conflicting parts of yourself, the masculine and the feminine. Through the combination a greater wisdom is revealed. Finally, this tarot card carries the meaning of choice, usually on the moral or ethical plane. The most familiar instance of such a choice, sadly, is the choice between your spouse and someone else with whom you have fallen in love. Alternatively, it could be between two possible partners, both of whom you love, but only one of whom would be best for you. Look inside, and turn to your unconscious for inspiration. Through it you can access the wisdom needed to make this choice properly, and for the good of all involved. Trust the feeling of your Inner Voice, and once you have made your choice, do not go back on it no matter how much opposition you face Tarot readings
