The Lovers

VI The Lovers

Gemini

There is a harmony in the Lovers card that often comes out in a reading, especially when asking about a current situation. It indicates balance and harmony between people and states, as well as the desire within you to maintain or achieve that harmony. In many cases, this card will point to the ways in which you feel and experience unity and love in your life.

If there is a “true love” card in the tarot, this is it.

Most often in a reading the Lovers will indicate a human love of some kind, and usually surrounding cards will indicate what nature the love takes.

It is rare to see this card indicating the kind of spiritual reunion that it represents at its core, since most readings are concerned with everyday life rather than spiritual realities or paths.

Commonly, this card signifies a relationship. It may point to a current relationship or a prospective one. If it does, then it also suggests that this relationship will be extremely important and long-lasting.

It says that you and the other person in question are made for each other, a perfect fit. The love indicated by this card is not just sexual gratification or mutual attraction: it is also a deep and intimate bond between two people, which often plays out on a spiritual level as well as on the emotional and physical levels. This type of relationship is often described as feeling as though you have found the missing piece of yourself in another person, or as having found a twin soul.

Occasionally the Lovers points to a love of some kind in your life that is not another person, such as a career, a pastime, or a place. It indicates a deep passion for it, a yearning to be involved with it, to work on it, or to pursue it. Just as with a human partnership, the Lovers suggests that this passion is a perfect fit for you.

As a card of separation as well as love, however, the Lovers can sometimes point to the gaps between two people, yet it also focuses on the yearning to bridge the gap. Thus, it can signify a yearning for a relationship to work out, as well as the desire to work in a field of study that you love, or a burning desire for a particular outcome.

Finance/Career: It could be that they are working in a career that brings out their passion, the kind of work they love doing with all their being. It might also indicate a particular field of expertise or area of study that the querent loves so much they would want to dedicate their entire life to it.
