Two people gaze lovingly at each other. Meeting in a sanctuary that is surrounded by the warmth of candlelight and flowering arbours they are safe. They hold each other tenderly at arm’s length knowing what they have is precious and that love is the key to a rich and rewarding life. It is what every being longs for and is within each of us to give. The Lovers are totally committed to each other and feel most complete when they are together. It is like finding the other half of your own soul when you connect with the right person for they accept you just as you are.
The Lovers card speaks of relationships that are deep and meaningful. While this card is often related to a romantic love interest, it can also relate to other relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. Those relationships that connect us at home, work, play, in our neighbourhoods, our communities, and in the world.
We are a people that need to connect and more and more we are coming to realize the importance of the values in relationships that unite our hearts and spirits to each other. The Lovers card is one of trust, compassion, commitment, honesty, understanding and acceptance. This card reminds us of the importance of being authentic in our relationships with others, as well as with ourselves.
