The first reaction will likely be to interpret this card as a symbol of love but, as love however, it doesn't have a single nature. It is not just that love take different forms, but love of a person can signal important or challenging decisions to make in your daily life. This is bad in that the choices it portends are generally mutually exclusive, paths to two very different outcomes, but it is also beneficial, since it also confirms that at the very least one of these paths will take you to a better place. If you see this in the spreads, consider it carefully and not be afraid of it. It is a story about difficult choices, likely difficult, but the best decision and favorable outcome is in your grasp. The Lovers card features naked men and women sitting across from one another. The woman appears under an apple tree with snakes, which evokes The Garden of Eden. The man is standing before the tree, which is decorated with twelve trefoil flamesthat symbolize the twelve signs of the zodiac and the fiery passion that defines his future. The figure above is the angel of air, Raphael, who looks down upon the pair as they bless them. The element of air is connected to communication, which is the foundation of healthy relationships. In the background we see the mountain, which is an phallic symbol and a riverthat symbolizes femininity. The Lovers card symbolizes the unification of two opposing forces and also the momentary bliss of just a few seconds before it's altered. If you draw this card it is a sign that you're at a crossroads in your life: the choices you're about to take could alter the course of your life. The Lovers could also suggest that you are one who takes choices from the heart. This card is a passionate and sensual person who is susceptible to making rash decisions and easily fall prey to temptation. The Lovers symbolize harmony, attraction, and perfection in relationships. You and your partner are soulmates. Your relationship is built on deep love and trust, which gives you the power to face challenges together and help each other. The Lovers could also indicate that a sexual relationship will grow into something more, since there's a basis of mutual attraction. The attraction could develop into true intimacy, as long as you are aware of the importance of open communication. An important career decision often occurs on the Lovers card. Since it's one of the Major Arcana, your choice should not be made in a hurry, since it can have far reaching consequences. Be true to your heart and follow your passion. This will lead to happiness and success in longer term. Many times, the right option is one that appears to be more difficult. The Lovers can also be a sign that an enterprise partnership is a fruitful one, and that both of you are in it for the long haul. The Lovers represent a sense of mutual affection not just between individuals, but also between you and your money. If you've been low on money lately, assistance is available however only if you ask for help and communicate your problems to another person. This is also the perfect moment to consider taking a financial risk such as setting up your own business and asking for a loan, or going back to the school you attended.
