The Lovers is one card that is easy to remember. Love and sex are riveting subjects, and, as you'd expect, this card represents both. The urge for union is powerful, and, in its highest form, takes us beyond ourselves. That is why an angel is blessing the bond between the man and woman on this card.
In readings, Card 6 often refers to a relationship that is based on deep love - the strongest force of all. The relationship may not be sexual, although it often is or could be. More generally, the Lovers can represent the attractive force that draws any two entities together in a relationship - whether people, ideas, events, movements or groups.
Card 6 can also stand for tough value choices and the questioning that goes with them. In some decks, the Lovers shows a man torn between two women - a virgin and a temptress. This rather old-fashioned triangle symbolizes the larger dilemmas we face when we are tempted between right and wrong.
The Lovers can indicate a moral or ethical crossroads - a decision point where you must choose between the high road or the low road. This card can also represent your personal beliefs because to make such a decision you must know where you stand. Following your own path can mean going against those who are urging you in a direction that is wrong for you, or not in the direction you have planned.
This card also evokes the picture of love and relationships. In any creative relationship the principle of the union of male and female and the birth of the new creation applies. A physical union gives birth to a new child; an emotional union gives birth to the soul of the relationship.
The Lovers card presents challenges that will be experienced that include the conflict and emotion of a relationship between lovers. It also includes the conflict between the thinking, analysing mind and the spiritual journey of acceptance and surrender. The archetype of The Lovers is "I think" and that is where the challenge will really be felt. The rational masculine principle employs the thinking mind and the sensitive feminine principle feels. It is to find a balance between the thinking and the feeling aspects of oneself.
Passion is a source of power, and power energizes. A lack of passion makes you weak. By loving life and the people around you, it will empower you.
Outside relationships. Friends surround you.
Choices to make, make them wisely & firmly, the outcome of which is of vital importance. Look beneath surface appearances.
Being faced with choices, at a crossroads. Stick to your resolutions by making firm a decision. Take a strong stand.
Seek spiritual values; control your emotions and select your path with care. Seek Divine guidance.
Intensity in relationships. Resist sensualism by stabilizing your emotions.
Good internal flow, effort well-placed, possibly following difficulties, a road opened up ahead.
Love of ease, comfort and/or luxury. A possible unfaithful affectionate nature.
Attract synchronicity into your life and be able to manifest that which you desire.
