The Lovers in a Tarot Card Reading
The Lovers tarot card is a card of choice, between two paths, following up from the previous teachings of the hierophant card urging us to choose. Just like a choice between lovers, everyone needs to choose how they manage their power.
The esoteric choice in subject is a choice between getting divine gifts to keep to yourself, or in order to share with others. The divine gift is the light we all want and need, this light flows down into us for the goal of giving, when we decide to keep it to ourselves, and not let others benefit, we are making a choice.
The lovers card reminds us of the advantages and disadvantages of each choice, the prices and the gains. It acknowledges the fact that there are several ways in order to get a certain physical outcome, and when it comes up in a reading it urges us to notice which path we choose to accomplish our goals.
This card puts a question mark next to things like sustainability and consequences of our choices that we may not notice exist at first. But, usually, we are tormented with a choice to make, this card aims to help us solve it by aligning with our true values. Leaning also on the values of our traditions, but also of our personal truths which have grown alongside ourselves over the years.
