General Meaning of the Lovers

The Lovers is the number six card of the Major Arcana and the astrological representative is the sign of Gemini, the twins. When the Lovers appear in a reading, they represent harmony in a relationship and a strong bond between two people. That strength transcends the ability to work through hard times. It can also indicate a deep desire and attraction between two beings that neither can deny – a bonding that can possibly indicate a soulmate connection. On a personal level, the Lovers can mean clarity about your own values. The Lovers can also indicate that you have choices to make. You may be asked to stay true to your beliefs even if they aren’t the popular norm.

When the Lovers appear in a reading, it could be a signal that you may soon be faced with making a decision about your life. A Major Arcana card signifies the importance of choosing the right path. This situation should not be taken lightly. Most importantly, remember that the easiest answer is not always the best answer.

The Lovers in the Past/Yesterday Meaning

When the Lovers appear in the past position of a reading, it indicates that a close relationship – romantic, friendship or familial – has prepared you well for anything you may face in the present or future. Whether this was a romantic relationship, a parental role, or an extremely close friendship, your experience has already given you what you need to proceed wisely going forward.

The Lovers in the Present/Today Meaning

If the Lovers appear in the present position of a reading, it represents a good relationship where there is balance and deep understanding of one another; however, even the best connections often require maintenance. Pay attention and see if everything is status quo or if the situation could they use more attention.

The Lovers in the Future/Tomorrow Meaning

Simply put, the Lovers card popping up in your future means just that – if you’re single, it’s a good indication that things are about to change for you romantically. If you’re not single, this could still point to a relationship that could use a little encouragement; things can and will get better with a little effort. Remember, it’s all connected to your decisions and choices. Examine your feelings and make decisions based on our personal values.

Love and Relationships Meaning for the Lovers

In a love reading, the Lovers indicates a time of decision – what’s the next, best move to make. Though love can be fun and full of frolic, as a Major Arcana card, the Lovers’ appearance is not to be taken lightly; some decisions will have lasting effects, so take a long, hard look before you decide anything. Decide nothing in haste but take your time and wait until it all feels right.

Single?

If you’re single, it’s always nice to see the Lovers in a reading, especially if accompanied by a positive cup card. The Lovers card is your clear indication that love is ready to manifest. Of course, you’ll have to do your part; it won’t just come knocking at your door. When it comes though, be assured that it is more than just a passing fancy. This card indicates a deep, respectful, and passionate romance is on the horizon.

Taken?

If you’re in a relationship, the Lovers in your love reading will confirm that the two of you have a strong connection based on love, mutual goals, and a shared admiration. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually you two are in tune with one another. Your relationship is in store for a reawakening when the Lovers appear in a love reading.

Career Meaning for the Lovers

When the Lovers appear in a career reading, it’s likely that you’ve come to a time when you’re making an important career decision that will have lasting effects. You’re either considering changing career paths altogether, you’re thinking of making a lateral move to another company, or perhaps just staying where you know the ropes. This isn’t just business, it’s a life choice. Make your personal feelings and values part of the equation.

Financial Meaning for the Lovers

Financially, the Lovers are reminding you that it may be time to buy a house as a couple, to get a joint checking account, or make an investment with your partner. It could be a personal or business investment, or both. Remember your choices have weight that will affect you, your partner, and your future together going forward.
