The Lovers card can take on many different meanings. For the most part The Lovers does represent romantic love, soulmate energy and divine connection. However The Lovers card can also represent duality; the masculine and feminine, the internal vs the external, the shadow vs light.
In many of the illustrations there is a cupid-like figure between two or sometimes even three people, suggesting that there could be a choice that needs to be made. What is our heart's greatest desire? What is the best decision long-term? Is this love or is it lust?
When The Lovers card is pulled it asks us to take our own needs into consideration when it comes to love; albeit love of self or the love of others. It also reminds us that the decisions we do make affect our loved ones, and that we must find balance, alignment...truth.
