Lovers



The Lovers Arcana represents duality, agreement, and emotions. This arcana is often given to people with multiple lives, or people who are in love with each other. Personas of this arcana are often sported with healing and support abilities.

Tarot Card Analysis
While the Lovers does represent love and sexuality, that's not all it is about. The Lovers is about duality, which is the harmony between two separate forms. These forms can be between two people, two emotions, or even two philosophies. Either way, the Lovers focus on harmonizing these two entities.

However, the Lovers are predominately about emotions. On the tarot card, there is a man, a woman, and between them is a tree that represents the Garden of Eden, as there are also the fruit of temptation hanging on the tree. The female's side has two fruit while the male only has one. The male represents the conscious mind, aware of the physical realm, but not of the divine. The female represents the subconscious, aware of the spiritual realm. Due to her awareness however, she is more prone to temptation than the male, as the male is forced to trust her mate to guide him to spirituality. If both can resist temptation and work in perfect harmony, they will obtain true love.

Reversed Analysis
When reversed, the tree has been uprooted, and the male and female has taken all they could from it. This represents falling into temptation, and letting passion run wild. This is almost always on a sexually pleasant level. One must always remember that love is like a flame. When strong, it's warm and comforting, but burn too strongly, and it has the capacity to destroy many things. On a more personal level, this can also mean your discipline has been shattered by your temptations, and one should slow down and rethink his/her priorities.
