The Lovers (VI)

Partnership, balance, love

In the Lovers card, the man and the woman in the image are being protected and blessed by an angel above. The couple seems secure and happy in their home, which appears to be the Garden of Eden. The fruit tree with the snake behind the woman is a reference to that story, which tells of humanity's fall into temptation and into the realm of flesh and sensuality. The angel depicted here is Raphael, the angel of air - who is of the same element of the zodiac sign that governs this card: Gemini. Air is associated with mental activity, and communication in particular, which is the foundation for healthy relationships. His blessing seems to give this card a sense of balance and harmony, the symbolization of union in a grand and cosmic sense between two opposing forces.

Meaning

The primary meaning within the Lovers is harmony, attractiveness, and perfection in a relationship. The trust and the unity that the lovers have gives each of them confidence and strength, empowering the other. The bond that they have created is very strong, and it can indicate that the two are joined in marriage, and other close and intimate relationships.

Key Themes

The Fool encounters the Lovers when they crave someone to go on this journey with and begin searching for a partnership. He discovers that the best partnership is the balance found within themself between their own masculine and feminine energies.

What This Foretells

Upright: partnerships, duality, union Reversed: loss of balance, one-sidedness, disharmony

Memorization Tip
