The Lovers
The Heart’s Choice
The energy of the card
Under the angel’s blessing, two people stand facing each other. The Lovers show great love – and the choice made with a free heart that every true bond needs.
Your path with this card
Your choice unfolds as you live it. Every yes from the heart makes the path clearer and the bond deeper. The Lovers invite you to commit fully to what you love.
- What does your heart truly beat for?
- What choice would you make if you followed yourself completely?
In the shadow
Indecision, being torn between two paths, a choice made from fear rather than love. They remind you to listen to your heart.
The image and its meaning
The card does not only stand for the love between two people.
The mountain separates the two people and emphasizes their differences, which nevertheless form two poles of one unity. Behind the woman stands the tree of life with a serpent, a symbol of temptation and of the problems that arise in relationships every day. Behind the man you can see a burning bush, a symbol of male life force and creative energy.
Above them both the angel watches, protecting and blessing; he is the guardian and keeper of the union of these opposites. This tarot card often also signals the responsibility that comes with far-reaching decisions, in which you must weigh several possibilities. You should accept a matter fully and completely as the natural order and listen to your heart.
