| | | This card represents not only the love between man and woman, but a general love of the universe.......empathy, caring, .....the concern for our conservation of our environment in nature, etc.......it would depend on the reading question, however...in general it represents caring and love for all in the universe, including love from above to us. This is my "take" on the subject, freehand. Hope its close Misty..I tried. | | Reply
| | | I see something diffrent with each deck, the meaning of the card changes slightly depending on what is depicted. The lovers. ( Pulled out my deck to have a closer look. The Rider Tarot Deck) The joining of two sides. Making something whole and complete.The mountian in the background would suggest over coming obsticals. The sun and the angel with the burning hair,(is it a true angel or temptation possing as an angel) devine intervention or destiny, not always for the better, our minds sometimes try and trick us into thinking this is what is ment to be. This one seems to depict adam and Eve. the forbiden fruit of Eve and the burning bush of Adam. I feel the meaning of this card has more to do with where it falls and how, what is around it. | | Reply

finding out what you care about 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. | | |
