Your first instinct will most likely be to think of this card as representing love but, like love however, it doesn't have a single nature. It is not just that love take various forms, but lovers can indicate significant or challenging decisions to make in your life. This is bad, in the sense that the choices it suggests are usually mutually exclusive pathways to two different futures, but also good, in that it is a sign that at least one of these paths will take you to a good position. As such, if you spot this in the spreads, take a look at it with care, but not fear it. It is a story about difficult choices, likely painful, but that the correct decision and a positive outcome is within your grasp. The Lovers card depicts a naked man and woman sitting across from one another. The woman appears under an apple tree with snakes, which evokes the Garden of Eden. The man stands in front of the tree, which is decorated with twelve trefoil flames, which represent the twelve zodiac signs and the fiery passion that shapes his future. Above the figures are the angels of the air, Raphael, who looks down upon the pair as they bless them. The element of air is closely associated with communication, and is a pillar of healthy relationships. In the background we see mountains -- a phallic symbol -- and a riverthat is a symbol of femininity. The Lovers card depicts the unification of two opposing forces, as well as the momentary bliss of one moment before it gets corrupted. If you happen to draw this card it's a sign that you're at a major crossroads: the decisions you are soon to make may alter the course of your existence. The Lovers can also indicate that you're someone who makes decisions from the heart. This card symbolizes an empathetic and sensual individual who is susceptible to making rash decisions and easily succumbs to the lure. The Lovers symbolize harmony, love and the perfect relationship. You and your partner are soul mates. Your relationship is based on a deep love and faith, which gives you the ability to conquer obstacles together and empower one another. The Lovers may also mean that a sexual relationship can grow into something more, because there is a base of mutual attraction. This passion has the potential to develop into true intimacy, as long as you acknowledge the importance of communicating openly. An important career decision often is reflected in the Lovers card. Since it is one of the Major Arcana, your choice must not be taken lightly, as it will have far reaching consequences. Follow your heart and your passion. This will result in happiness and success in longer term. Many times, the right option is the one that appears more difficult. The Lovers can be a sign an enterprise partnership is productive and also that both of you are committed to the long haul. The Lovers represent a sense of mutual affection -- not only between two people, but between you and money. If you've been struggling on cash recently, help is available, but only if you request help and convey your problems to someone else. Now is also a good time to take the risk of financial investment, like starting your own business and seeking a loan, or going back to school.
